Show Me Your Racing Machines

[t01-100]

Hi Stu, who's doing the cage in the evo for you? it looks sweet as im about to put one in my R32 finally

Cheers, Ray

Ray - Darren Elphingstone. Will PM his details. Come have a look a the cage if you want.

could find that he is running agressive grind on cam which sacrafice mid-range. Just speculating though.

You probably need the more aggressive ramp rates of the solid lifter cams to get the mid range and response that goes with the multi setup on the RB26s

[Noddy]

cams.....

they are

Inlet 255deg 8.21 mm peak lift. Installed with 0.48" lift @ TDC (no variable timimg)

exahust 258 deg 8.22 mm peak lift. Installed with 0.18" lift @ TDC.

That should make the lobe seperation 112deg....I think.

The tourque line on the dyno is much flatter, doesn't have the boot response out of a corner I was looking for. I was only able to put in a short test this week and didn't get a chance to try much. just felt slow and sluggish down low and needed to be up in the revs. felt very forign. Gatton is this weekend so I have put it back to the old setup.

On that note, is anyone else going to Gatton?

interested mine is complete different. I'm still running stock cams and cam gears with the VCT.

What turbo are you running? I have responds everywhere compare to my oldsetup.

more pics of my rig. the boot's fairly busy now. plumbing is going to be..fun

[Roy]

...it all looks like too much hard work. Std cars for the win as track cars. Just throw good susp at the thing and go circulate

[code blue]

Plus when you turn into an old poof you'll need the room for the golf clubs

[NickR33]

okay posting for phunky_monkey... please note I did not build it and haven't gotten it to the track yet but hey, what else am I going to do on a Friday

Previously owned by Nathan from the SAU Vic club

'96 R33 GTR, built by Ben @ Racepace many moons ago so is a bit old school

Built motor with Tomei gear, pistons, big cams, springs, lifters etc etc... with Benno custom sump and catch can etc

Trust T517Z 8cm turbos

Trust FMIC, Radiator and Oil Cooler etc

Tein Type-RE Coilovers etc

Harrop 4-pot Calipers, 355mm 2-piece Rotors

BBS LM Forged Alloy 18x10.0 +20

and a bunch of other supporting parts... makes 360rwkw @ 20psi

Is pretty loud and lumpy and generally not as refined as recent Racepace GTRs but I love it... it has personality

and it gets me to work really quickly lol

soon to be at a track day near you

Excuse the filth, had been driving in the rain before this...

[phunky_monkey]

Ahhhh, I had a feeling it may have been Nathan's old car. Nice buy, I love that car!

[evil_weevil]

So, how hard was it to sell the gtst Nick?

Nice GTR too mate!!!

[NickR33]

nope not hard to sell at the price I sold it for! lol

I got the shits with it and sold it to the first guy who sounded serious and came and looked at it... he got a bargain but I'm happy as I didn't have to put it on carsales and deal with all the dreamers and test pilots

[sikjet]

Hey Nick are they Benos custom Tein RE's?

[N1GTR]

Jason - wow! Thats going to be a rocket! Similar setup to Benno's old R33 thats now for sale?

Nick, Nathans old car is a fu(king weapon, great buy!

[Tektrader69]

Holy crap !! That looks really tough !!

Lot of people think R33's are a bit heavy. But I just love the look of a R33 GTR. If ya love it who cares !!

[Roy]

TOO many diffs

[BezerkR32]

its mostly r32 drivers who say that, but onlt a Zed driver would consider it to be light lol.

LMAO, I look forward to making you eat them words with the race zed at 1100KG in a few months

JP laughs when I tell him mine will be lighter than the slot car. Short wheel base, hard top FTW

finished stripping the R33 yesterday (need to nick a cam from work). When i pulled the carpet up, I found a HKS F-Con S. The rear wheel bearings we got were the wrong size so we can't move it to get the cage in yet. Nissan said there was a set in Melb, so we should be able to get it to the cage builder by the end of the week.

[Tektrader69]

we'll see. whats the go with short wheel base?

Well the Z32 came in 2 versions 2 seater and 2+2 which was 120mm longer wheel base. AFAIK there where no hard top 2+2. All where targas.

The weight distribution on the 2 seater is slightly worse than the 2+2 BUT it also weighs over 60KG less. And being a hard top it even lighter losing another 30 KG.

So basically as much weight as possible out of the front and between the axels. Then leave the back alone shoving as much as possible rearward.

4WD is cool when its a GTR. I just like Z32's and love RWD. Most of the useless weight in a Z32 is creature comfort stuff.

I dont have any of that.

I am hoping it will be ready to go by the time we get Superlap down here and will enter Marque sport in the meantime.

I have a huge pile of nice bits to bolt on when the workshop is cleared out.
