Yeah that's the plan, A new R32 GTR Drag car chassis is getting built and the old chassis will be sitting there not being used going to waste so I thought this was an opportune moment to use it for Time Attack. The car is perfectly setup for it already just have to change a few things. I shall call it The R35 slayer, I told Spencer I am going to beat his car ;) .

hahaha that wont be hard... his car will never get done :P so all u need to do is get urs going n u win lol and the new drag chassis going tube and glass shell ?

Haha yeah he might beat me I just bought a house and the missus wants to do renovations :closedeyes: so i'm gotta do lots of overtime I guess, its gonna cost me approx. $45k to get the R32 in prime Time Attack condition to compete with the big boys or a lot less if I go povo setup. Will have to do more sums and weigh up the options.

The new GTR chassis is going be full tube prostock style frame work with a full fibre glass front section the rest will be original steel GTR chassis. Custom tube subframe's with modified suspension towers to allow bigger rubber. Engine will be the current one for now but will probably change turbo setup to a 1600-1800HP system and upgrade to a Liberty Clutch less Air shifted Transmission, that will put us straight into 7 second territory. Plans are in the works for a Billet engine, combo undecided yet, my brother keeps throwing the VR38TT idea at me, I think he is f**king dreaming :woot: .

Please Please Please get a billet block for the time attack car! That will give you better weight distribution. I'd love to see a R32 GTR with such little weight.

Ben, have you followed that facebook build with the 180SX and GTR drivetrain? He's a school kid in europe building it all himself. Kid is a little weapon thats for sure.

I've been wanting to build one for a looooong time. As soon as a cheap R32 GTR pops up I will be grabbing it.

Sorry its a bad photo, but does anyone know if anywhere in Mackay sells these, preferably in an assortment pack. I need some for all my boost lines

I havent really looked anywhere, hoping to get an answer straight away that will point me in the right direction.

Nah haven't seen the link on 180sx.

I can't justify a billet block for a Time Attack car it's 10K just for the bare block, that money could by me a lot of light weight body components or better funding in loosing Unsprung and rotating mass will give you the biggest benefit, Carbon fibre clutch, carbon tailshaft, carbon brake rotors, lightweight monoblock calipers, this is the biggest gain you will make and also the most expensive.

Nah Cal can't help you maybe try repco or Geoff Walsh. If not little back zip ties that will melt eventually. :woot:

I use all -AN type fittings now on all my important vacuum signal lines, if they blow off you will f**k your engine, I have had it happen before. Wastegate especially, melt that line it will over boost then lean the engine out then say bye bye pistons

Haha yeah one of them is factory heat wrapped so hopefully that will be fine. The other I will probably try and do something with. Just have to work out what heat wrap is best and where to get some. Ben - you might have the best idea on this one? I need to wrap a little bit of wiring as well.

It is pretty snug fitting:

See that Aircon Line in Pic above with the Silver shit on it, my mate melted that exact line in his car it was running a top mount GT3040, it melted through the silver stuff then eventually through the Alloy air con pipe. Best option it to run either the Silicon Fire Flex Sleeving, this is good stuff I use it on my wastegate and oil/water lines on turbo on top of the SS Braid as the rubber inside the braid goes hard and brittle after awhile, this stuff is good for high temp. Plus we also use this awesome titanium exhaust wrap from Quantum Racing in Brisbane on the dump pipe and exhaust manifold. Got to wrap everything makes life much easier especially to work on at the track, might be ok on a street car as you only on full boost for a short moment at a time, but the dyno will sort you out :woot: .

That fire sleeve would be good but I don't want to crack the air con lines lol. So far have kept all the gas in there so the air con should work when it all fires up.

I've P-clamped that A/C line up a bit so its a bit further away from the action. and I'm going to heat wrap as much of the exhaust as I can but will probably get something to wrap the AC line. I could use some of that fire sleeve and just slit it and zip tie it on, wouldnt be as good as running it over the hose properly but would help a bit. If only I knew someone who worked at cummins, they use the stuff on alot of the QSK engines in our stuff. Must be certain mining companies policy to have it

I'll work something out with it anyway. At least the A/C line isnt anywhere near as close to the exhaust as it is to the comp housing

Had a fairly slack day working on it today. Put my spark plugs in and put the valley cover on etc. Then making some brackets for the oil pressure sensors and the bracket to hold the p-clamp up. Then got the shits with the heat and came home to sit in air con lol

haha nah I dont think I'll make it to the next one. I have to run the engine/clutch in before I can do any hard launches and will drive it for a bit to make sure its not going to explode down the 1/4.

Less embarassing to do that in private lol

Had a win today, finished wiring up the Map sensor and IAT sensor, both seem to be reading alright on the Link G4 software, slight difference between the coolant temp and IAT sensor values (Top Engine Coolant port is still open, no coolant in engine) but thats probably down to the coolant temp sensor being probably near 20 years old lol.

Just have to wire the boost solenoid which will be done as soon as I get some deutsch crimpers on monday to wire up the plug (Awesome that I can use the same plug I used for the PFC boost solenoid) and that will be about the wiring done. Have a switch wired up for launch control etc which is providing the only problem at the moment, albeit a small one. It has an LED built into it, but I can only get the switch to either light up but not signal the ECU, or signal the ECU and not light up. Pretty annoying but can live with it if I have to lol

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
