But have another R33 for circuit.

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

It is the car to prove to some of the Vic crew that given the same nice mods their GTRs have it can be as quick, if not quicker at places like PI ;) Only you need to do it, then be kind enough to let me flog it a few Vic tracks :thumbsup:

I was doing some laps at a practice day at oran park gp a month or so back and Kerry Baily was there with his Z with glenn seton doing the driving. had a good close look at his car and it is very impressive. pretty sure phil ryall built that car.

Yes, Phil did. I built my engine under the watchful eye of Phil and my new 26/30 will also come under the same scrutiny. I start that build late Jan08 - off overseas for 4 months next week with work.

Great to see some shots of the car up for others to see and look farward to Evan :( . Can't wait to see it racing in QLD next year!

yeah thats the shit. the things an animal...

i just wish millen would get rid of the crap paintjob...looks like a dogs breakfast

anyone see the vid where they drove te thing to hungry jacks?

insane amount of work must have gone into that s13 quiet acheiver, good luck looks like there is still plenty of work to do.

Will be good when finished,Evans a former State champion and currently the fastest man in WA with Radials and Pistons in his DR30 showen earlyer in this tread

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.

Hey Michael,

I'll probably need all the help i can get with the dry sump if i go that route!

Yes, the cage is on the list of things to do. Ultimately, I am keen to enter JDM- would like to get a bit of experience just driving on the track, only driven on a race track 4 times now- still very green and have a lot to learn:blush:

What sort of cage would i need?

Simon, just get a cams manual, pick a design you like and then get one made like that. For QR, im sure any real cage will suffice so long as its not a jap bolt in cage as they have too many bends in the front supports. But a cams approved cage will get you into pretty well any circuit racing.

hi guys

well cage is in and car is painted inside!! and outside is being prepped and painted now, should

be painted tomorrow.

all that in a week and a bit!!

will keep ya updated

cheers russ

Very nice cage.

But my first thought was: That looks like a prick to get in and out of :P

Very nice cage.

But my first thought was: That looks like a prick to get in and out of :)

funny you should say that !! as thats what i though as i am a fat barstard probably will need a removeable wheel.

and we have exactly nine days left to finish it :P , to get to the test day a wakefield

list of whats left!

paint exterior

refit glass

paint fit new doors and lexan windows(not here yet!)

fit bonnet latches (flush type)

refit dash around cage and seats etc

fit new suspension (not here yet)

wheel alignment

wire new radiator fans and run oil cooler lines

make intercooler pipe

fit hypertune six throttle body manifold

dyno tune engine and test dry sump setup

hmmm bit of a tight schedule

oh well who needs sleep

cheers russ

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
