shame, targa tom just sold a very well prepped 32.

my105 is the place to go for prepared race cars, but the fact is most cars that are "for sale" are sitting in a garage somewhere and noone knows about them.

If you want to build it yourself, rally import from japan is the way to go, you can get hold of just about anything dirt cheap - and then spend 2-3 times your purchase price on getting it up to scratch.

That is a very large pic.

I'm not serious but would be intersted to know what you think it will go for.

Might be another year or two before I get a dedicated track car.

Sadly there is no where to hook up a tow bar on the R34.

I've always loved the concept of being able to take the tow car out if the track bitch dies at an inoportune time.

Im thinking 18k would buy you a quick R32 or R33 GTSt. Get it on Rally plates and keep the engine pretty std, just completely gut the car and get it down to 1100-1150kgs.

Outside of that your probably best decide on what sort of car your after then ringing up Car Clubs listed on the CAMS website. Often the good buys arent advertised, just sold off within clubs

You might find it to be a good idea to have a track car that has the same sort of driving/handling charateristics as your road car, this maens that when you jump into it at the track, you get back in sync with the car quicker.

I am also looking for a Tarmac race car.

I was hoping to get a fully race preped GT type car from japan as I would expect they would be cheap and well setup.

Does anyone know places in japan that offer these types of cars for sale ?

I already have a CAMS license, so I can import a FIA approved car on Race & Rally rules.

Thanks

you can import a Evo VII these days for under 30K on road including compliance, an early R33 GTSt will set you back 10k on the road... and that's under the regular SEVS import scheme, so it'll be cheaper as a race import.

If you want give me a budget and minimal requirements and I'll fish out some potential race imports for ya.

We just brought in an STi as a race import a couple of weeks ago... don't really list em up on the website unless something special comes up... like this R33 for example. We only look for race imports on request only as you can import nearly any car that is FIA approved (or permitted by CAMS in a motorsport they sanction).

My budget is $20k for a full race spec car. I do not think I am unrealistic in my expectations. I think that a race prepped RWD car from japan could easily be aquired for that money. I have a further $10k to spend on spares and anything that needs fixing.

I have also seen EVO6's going in race trim (rally) for $20k FOB.

      By StevenJames32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done. I will be posting pics and any helpful details i can and ill make sure to fit in as much information as I can. If there's anything I should know before i do this PLEASE let me know.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By tidi0x · Posted

      I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.

      Single Turbo Conversion Lines.

      By StevenJames32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
