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

cams..... :P

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.

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 :P

soon to be at a track day near you :D

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

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

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

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 !!

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

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

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

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.

we'll see. :P 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. :banana:

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. :down:

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

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
