ok, time to lower the tone a bit! this is my new track hack.

Bought it as a race only import in January, made a few changes and did its first track day a couple of weeks ago at Lakeside. Ran a 1:00.32 first time out, which is OK considering how bad it was handling. Have since discovered the front springs were 9kg (about 500lb) so have replaced them with some 7kg/390lb jobs that came out of the rear. My ride heights were all over the place too. So that's sorted now and hopefully it will be a fair bit better for its next outing. Other than that it ran fine all day, so that's a pretty good start.

has a pretty decent power curve too.

and me doing the drift in it like all the cool kids wanna do...

Here is my 98 R33 Gtst, I bought it about 5 years ago, It was my daily driven car. I did a couple of club days and thought, this is great.

So in went a cage early last year, got my cams ticket and did the last 4 round of the tassie series in the targa class last year which was a real learning curve.

Over the off season, i built a 25/30 with forged internals, and running a gt3582. fingers crossed all goes well this year. 1 round down and 5 to go.

Nice S13's boys, welcome to the club! They're great fun to drive and parts are cheap and plentiful.

Harry, how are the JJR coilpacks holding up? My splitfires wouldn't play nicely with my HKS twin spark so I got rid of them, and am looking to purchase some. Tossing up between those and genuine Nissan ($$$). I can buy 2 sets of the JJR's for the price of 1 set of genuines so I may take the risk.

Troy: Them's fighting words... Once I get a new oil pump onto my engine it's on! :starwars:

Wools: Nice GTS-T mate, looks really clean.

Sandown baby, being the "Drag strip" everbody like to claim :starwars:

We can line 'em up on the entry to the straight and see who will hang in there the deepest under brakes. I will win as i dont mind the taste of armco and have no problem rolling in the sandtrap if it means me shooting under you in the braking area :blush:

Nice 13's boys. Great little platform to learn from!

That 33 looks pretty tough too.

Here's mine. It's still in the build.

2.2ltr, 50 thou forgies, ballanced and blueprinted bottom end, 460cc's, 5 button clutch, Custom GURU motorsport torsen LSD, coilovers, custom build T3/T04E turbo with 38mm gate, drifteks, 300mm rotors etc

Going in for a tune in the next few weeks. Hoping for 300+hp atw.

Hopefully going in for a cage after the tune.

Rega wheels eh, I had no idea what they were. They are pretty light.

Steveo, that's because it is a screwdriver handle... It was on the car when I got it and I kinda like it. Also has the fully sick drift button on the handbrake lever like Richards. I didn't like the old 15" Momo wheel though, but I kept the Sparco off my previous Datsun 1200 track car.

JJR coilpacks are OK for the little running its had so far. but like I said, I've only had the car a few months and its just done 1 track day...

Dave, are your bumpers and side skirts held on exclusively by zip ties and tek screws? lol mine's an ex drift car. It had bog falling off the drivers rear quarter when I bought it. I've re-bogged and resprayed the quarter panel, and side skirt on this side to cover the white marks from rubbing a tyre wall in its previous life...

Here's my dyno sheet. The 271bhp peak doesn't tell the full story. There's over 260bhp at the wheels pretty much from 5000-7500rpm :( Benno, you better get some D03's mate! :D

heh its great to see all these S13s poping up, i have never bothered putting mine up but may as well. Flavor of the Day!

Started life as a auto 180 fresh off the boat a few years back.. now its track only.

Fairly basic lot of mods, but its good for 220 at the wheels.

28-60rs

cams HKS 264s

PFC

555's

Z32AFM

Big Oil cooler

5 Stud with 324mm's on the front

garbage exedy clutch

HSD's all round..

bunch of different arms..

17x9s all round

Half Cage

Racetech seat

The motor has never been pulled apart and has done over 15 track days and just as many Deca days... Mind you most were on standard power but it certianly had the crap flogged out of it each and every time. the way it should be. touch wood.

The engine bay looks like its actually a rally car in a coal mine so no pics. not that there is anything to see.

heh, im looking forward to dutton only because i get to go to P.I. again and hopefully get some laps in without it breaking straight away. even if it is only 2 timed laps... i should be right on your heels. what are you? 51's?

Hahaha, great stuff!

Hows it attached? Just welded on?

You forgot to mention its a great car for passenger rides in when being caned :verymad:

Ben? Russ? Can we pony up either of your rides as mine is still in pieces, a cunning attempt by Belsil80s co-driver to stop another rwd 2L from being quicker :verymad:

Seriously, if somebody wants to enter Dutton Vic, let me know

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
