Just want to see what sort of Track/Race/Rally Skylines are around. Throw up some spec's if you want.

No streeters please.

This is my budjet build club rally car, setup for gravel and tarmac. -Just running a stock RB20DE until I build up another unit with some power. It's got adustable suspension, 6 point cage, harnesses etc and is fully race and road legal for around $6K NZ.

mine's not a skyline, but it goes ok :D

It's a budget 100% backyard build, using mostly various types of leftover factory Nissan parts from different models.

SR20DE

Did 1:09 flat at Wakefield, (which I am hoping to beat on Saturday) and should be well under my previous 1:54.8 at Eastern Creek in a couple of weeks.

It's currently road registered, but won't be for a whole lot longer. I'm planning to run in Improved Production next year if all goes according to plan.

Ah goodie was about to create a thread like this myself, the more pics the better from any angle of any car as im getting ideas for my current build.

I damaged my r32 gtr drag racing so I bought another street gtr and have decided to keep this damaged 1 as my dedicated circuit car. So far im only in the process of stripping it down (prob another week or so of that) then I need to weld up the damage, paint the interior, boot and engine bay and get some and then start assembling it again.

Nothing exciting but here are some pics of where im at so far:

Most of you know it, Blown VH45 Powered 33 on methanol, full andra cage ran 10.17 to date on stock internals, new engine is a few weeks from completion hoping for some good 9's out of it.

well credit to Louie at Xclusive colour for the paint job - we asked him for something that would stand out.....

but the stickers are crazy....Kel designed and cut them on a $600 ebay special vinyl cutter

how much was spent?

I believe its gotten so high now that we dont keep track.......if you dont think about it, you cant lose sleep over it.

House in the country.....i was thinking more along the lines of a nice apartment in the city :D

Does yours go simon? Ours goes when its not bogged down with problems.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
