I have offen seen this thread and thought I'll have a look later... Later is 1 of those things that can take a while to get around to. Anyhow Im gald to see somany others are having a crack on track with thier Skylines of all vintages.

This is my little R33 gtst that Im slowly getting up to speed to have a go at the 2A sportscar class, over 3L. It is logbooked but we are still early in developing it. Last year we took to a few street sprints where it won its class fairly easily in a street registed class, 4-5L regoed vehicles. At a little track in Stanthorpe we got a surprise when it came in 3rd outright behind a formula libra and a turbo westfield on slicks. there was a lot of very worthy vehicles there including Don Vidlers insane 1300 mini sportsedan/hilclimb special.

jesus mate, you've picked a hard class. 2A has some very quick cars in it - I had never really considered running in category 2 in fact I didn't even realise skylines were eligible.

not as a Marq sports unfortunately but 2A is not a problem. I have a lot of fun hasseling GT3's at my local track, Morgan Park. I'm Hoping to use this car as a test bed for engine and powerplant to build a Sportsedan R33 in a couple of yaers.

Hi guy's

I was just havn a look through the Hills dyno day and other threads

Unfortunatly I couldn't make the dyno day as I was in Tassie competeing that weekend. ahwell

But I thought I would post a few pics up of my mild mannered racing machine while I'm here. plus I wouldn't mind showing old mate Duncan what my old hack looks like before the new paint and sponsors logos go on

BTW it does have a skyline engine in it lol

haha thanks Tomm0...must have been ages ago it was my first motor rofl.

Brian - I hadn't seen yours before - skyline motor in an s12 is a top idea. How easy did it go it in? I take it that its got the independant rear?

that is an awesome photo Duncan!!

Oh, and yes thats me behind James....but not for long ;)

Noddy - awesome 33 mate! thats some nice front camber! How do I get that much lol :P

Hehehe Duncan

You have to think out side the squre when it comes to Skyline's

You know I build some insane RB series engines at Hills

But my FJ20et donk was originally from a good old DR30 Skyline.

They go in really easy as S12's come with FJ's aswell.

I know of a few guys running RB26's in S12's but the cars balance is all messed up

I don't have IRS in this car as S12 IRS is about as retarted as the old 1600 set up and get's no drive off the 2" of the tread it lays down

I run a 4 link live axle has rose jointed chrome molly trailing arms so I can dial in grip by changing the pinion angle I have also made custom towers in the rear to accept the S13 HSD's

Funny is I only coverted to disc brake rear 2 days ago as my hydro handbrake burst the wheel cylinders during the top 16 battle in Tassie, I still got through to the top 8 battle but couldn't really do much with a brake clamp on the rear line, But hey I still had a go...

lol, nice track position steve. :no: I don't know if I'd admit to that. looks like you are pulling over for a tea break!

Nah Steve-o's pulling up to practice his starts. Notice he's just about on Pole.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
