Why did I have to open this thread?

man....I think I might turn my 33 into a full tracky!

Currently she goes well in motokhana's like DECA and some supersprints, just thinking now, tidy a few things up, get some more $$$ and enter some more events, would love to do Dutton but I think my cash flow isnt there :P

speaking of Dutton....

How do you guys go about it with sponsers???

Where are you getting the lexan windows from and approx how much each?

i am getting them made through hi octane, if i havent recieved them yet so i dont have a price.

if you ring hi octane racing in sydney they may line a set up for you, i think they only have a pattern for the door windows so far.

i do know you can buy a gtr lexan kit from ikeya formula.

cheers russ

hi mate

if you have done a few events , you will love having a full track car, just try to make sure you know what you want.!

our car started off as a road car with a bit of weekend fun. now it is basically a registered track car rally car!

cant use it on the roads anymore.

also as others have said if you can do without it during the week it's a lot less stress when something breaks or you have an incident at the track! rather tracking you everday road car.

as far as duttons go, they are great but can get expensive trying to do more than one( but great fun:) )

sprints . hillclimbs, circuit club meets all a blast and fairly cheap.

with sponsors it is hard but some mileage can be had from events like the dutton because of the good media coverage.

results always help too and a good approach toward what you can achieve for the sponsor.

some of the most fun i have had , have also been the cheapest events i have entered.

and met some really good people along the way.

cheers russ

oh well who needs sleep

Hey Russ cage is looking good mate will post some pics of mine tonight.If you guys want a hand with anything over the weekend just give me a call and I can come up and lend a hand if not I should be starting on my engine over the weekend still alot to do on my car but I am definately not on as tight a scheduele as Mark and yourself.I will give you a call soon to catch up anyway. Take it as easy as you can mate.

If you got some parts you need washing ill come up with dazza and give you guys a hand too. :laugh:

giant,

Thanks for the reply mate - much appreciated :laugh:

Ive got an R31 gxe as my daily so no problem with not driving the R33 all the time and if anything wrong, Ive still got transport!

I guess Im stuck at what to do now?

well....I know the car is going in for a Z32 AFM and injectors and powerFC retune

I then need a better diff...

other than that?

I guess strip the inside?

Would I benefit with a half rear cage in the car for my level?

plenty of locals can make lexen windows, pretty much any plastic/perspex place can cut them. Ours are getting done at a place in Castle Hill (don't have details atm) but will be under $500 front, rear and sides.

good luck getting it together Russ, there's nothing like a deadline to motivate

what our car is legal!! :)

it's lightly modded! haha

yeah looks like we will miss wakefield on the 7th as suspension wont get here till the 4/5th! but will will keep the deadline anyway as is it booked in for dyno tune on tuesday.

fineline i hope to have it a QR before japan , i will have to see what's on once it's running(more likely to be a wednesday test at morgan park)

and thanks matty , i will know how much stuff we have to do later this week

cheers russ

gday russ yeah thats correct mate

fatz and i crashed the night in the common room of the wakefield park cabins

that morning we got charged full price accommodation when we tried to drive out unawares..

Good luck with the project giant, it will be nice to see you guys and the beast again at QR.

I think QR next print day is on Sat the 15th of Sep

Duncan, how much weight did you shave off with the lexen? I don't see why it should be illegal....if anything it will help to cushion the pedestrian head during an accident :)

that was a good weekend !! we need to catch up again!!

hopefully soon

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
