sounds awesome russ, I'm sure you will have a ball regardless of the result. I think it should suit you and mark pretty well considering you guys are very fast at wakefield. The new changes will make a massive difference too. best of luck!

Here's my track car, it doesn't compare to a lot of the ones posted but i made the decision to buy it instead of an Evo 7 because i'm not worried about crashing it and repairs aren't quite as painful as my old GTR. Unfortunately i warped the head in April due to a blocked radiator but i'm finally back now. Mods are:

-SR20DET Manual: bottom end rebuilt 20k ago, fresh head rebuild

-SR20de Inlet Cam

-Modified combustion chamber

-Port matched inlet

-S15 Turbo w/ 360 degree thrust washer (handles high boost)

-S15 Injectors, RB20AFM

-S15 ECU w/ BikiRom USB Multiboard

-40mm aluminium radiator

-Cheapy FMIC

-Custom 3" exhaust

-Nismo 2way mechanical Differential

-5 stud conversion (s14 front, R32 rear)

-R32 GTST brakes all round

-Braided brake lines

-RDA Slotted rotors with Lucas Pads

-S15 rear subframe

-Adjustable Rear Upper arms

-Tein HR Coilovers Front/Rear

-Tein Caster Rods front

-Tein Tie Rods and Rod Ends

-No rear swaybar

-Braided clutch line

-Alloy steering shaft spacer

-Sparco PRO 2000 Bucket seat

-Volk 16x7.5" rims

-Dunlop DO1J 225/50/16 Tyres (not fitted in pics)

-Sunroof sealed for headroom

-Crap paint, shithouse interior, character dents

Tuned the other day making 180rwkw@15psi. I'd like to bump up boost a bit to get closer to 200rwkw. I've only driven it a few times in the past few months so i've still got a lot of learning to do. I want to use it mainly for sprints and maybe a few hillclimbs.

awesome thread guys! inspiration to get stuck into mine again and get it up to spec!

Good luck in Japan Russ, would be great to watch time attack over there, let alone compete. and now the 32 will be going even quicker! :rolleyes: will be good to see it back out there in action.

hey mate

sound like your pretty close too!!

i reckon thats i good idea sticking the dry sump on his car first to make sure it works!!! hehe :laughing-smiley-014:

i will let ya know for sure, it will be blast!! thanks for your help too!

cheers russ seeya soon

hahahaha yeah like usual im the test dummy. Should be good though was planning on redoing the engine anyway so will be fun trying to destroy this one with the dry sump setup on it in the purpose of R & D. lol

haha

i thought you might like that!!

seeya soon

Where do you blokes get time to breath. The 32 racing its heart out, Building the 33, starting on the 34, and now revamping the 32, I am out of breath just typing it. :thumbsup:

hey mate

its pretty hard at work at the moment, lots to do!!

mark is working non stop on it after work every night and all weekend, and things dont always go as planned as you know.

r33_racer

as far as testing the dry sump setup , there are so many dry setup combinations , that if you get it wrong it will go bang, i have seen many engines with dry sumps shit the engine till they got the setup right.

(if you had no issues when you put yours together you did very well), that even comes down to how well the pump is mounted and aligned ,let alone crank vacum pressure and line syphoning and a myriad of other things.

cheers russ

how did you guys setup your dry sump systems? Shouldnt need to have a test dummy if its setup right from the start.

Thats right you shouldn't need a test dummy if set up correctly but as dry sump set up's for GTR's are not available off the shelf and just about everything has to be custom made you surely wouldnt want to take any risks with a big dollar engine. Although the basic set up is not overly complicated it doesn't take long to destroy a set of bearings So that explains why we would fit it to an older engine first for peace of mind. By all means feel free to enlighten us with some expert advice how is yours set up?.

how did you guys setup your dry sump systems? Shouldnt need to have a test dummy if its setup right from the start.

Just incase, we are doing everything from scratch including the modified sump (which hasnt been tested) so will just make sure everything is in order before building another expensive engine. Also we have a 5 stage pump so unsure of what crankcase pressures will be doing yet??

Sure it will be installed right but there will be allot of issues to sort out once its up and going

hahaha we all responded to that at the same time. awesome.

2nd post (So how many engines have you blown??)

Edited by mathewg2509
Have a look at this video about 30 seconds in. Make sure the volume is up and then name the 'you will know what' :D

LOL...how cool i that link :thumbsup:

At first i thought the wine of the box was a supercharger of somw absolute beast. Instead it was the gearbox of an absolute beast

All the motors weve blown have all been due to incorrect bearing clearances, thats all sorted now. Nothing wrong with the dry sump system....has been working perfectly since we put it on.

Man you guys are almost over complicating the whole thing...believe me its a hell of alot easier then it sounds. There are no kits around for a gtst either, we had to custom fab everything ourselves also. Id love to see your setups to see how similiar or dissimiliar they are to ours. If its much the same as ours then i wouldnt see a reason why it wont work on your cars.

Just make sure you run the inline filters to the pump, then you wont get ball bearings cracking your gears lol. Learnt that the hard way haha.

Good to see another S13 ready to take on the Skylines at the track. Come and give me a hand, i need some support.

Michael(r 33 racer), took another 0.4 seconds off sprint track today and bit bit over 1 second on clubman. Great fun today, car much nicer/easier to drive after a few changes!

Think my brake master cylinder might be on the way out- vacuum not working very well, no leaks that i can find.

That's my last go for the year, off to US until Xmas with work. Building a 26/30 for the Sil80... might source dry sump pump for it while I'm there!

awesome work simon..

Yeh if you do..hit me up when you get back ill help you sort it all out. Next year you should hurry up and get a cage and come join us in the JDM class. We really need more cars in it.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
