Nothing special

Bloody autosalon car....

With the times you were getting at MDTC you will be into the low 9's next time at wakefield if you drive it the same way.

I'm back at wakefield tomorrow, hope to crack a 10 for it's last NA outing there. Should be fun.

new engine, almost ready

Oh well here it is.

It started as a nice street car when I bought it albeit with a massive body kit...which is now safely tucked away under my parents house, so its back to a standard non M-spec front bar, no skirts and the little drift lip/wing/spoiler

Split an oil cooler line 2 weeks after I got it and junked the original motor, so got it rebuilt and It lasted 2 years before breaking a piston ring.

So now its getting a standard bottom end I bought for 200 bucks.

while im was doing this I thought id get a few goodies for it.

Its pretty basic for a R33 Chassis wise consisting of Jap Spec Tein Super Streets, Adjustable rear upper arms, Adjustable Caster Rods, Tomei Hicas Lock Thingy, RDA slotted rotors on the front with QFM pads in there now, Used to have APexi Pads which were by far better but I cant seem to find them anymore.

Engine/Driveline Wise Its got an Ebay exhaust manifold, 38mm gate, and a KKK K27 Turbo, Greddy Copy Plenum, OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch (the good 600hp one) 50mm Radiator, Oil cooler and relocation kit, Used to have a Power FC Pro...but I sold it, so its back to standard Injectors, AFM and ECU untill funds allow. So no track time untill thats all sorted :mellow:

Wheels are 17x8 URAS NS-01s all around with average firestone tyres...mind you the went ok at wakie when I was there last.

Finally it has a "drift" brand seat which does ok but sits too high for my lanky ass.

So Semis are on the list aswell and so is a better drivers seat and a some what less ricer interior :)

mmmmmmm nice turbo Dave, it looks familiar. was'nt the one on the R32 internal gated???

lol, can't weld plastic to metal steveo! and I wouldn't want to use the shaft weleded as a shifter. gearnobs just screw on my man.. there are a few getting around. snap-on screwdriver handle gear knobs. they even make snap-on screw driver handle keys. so it looks like your starting your car with a screwdriver.

and yes the snap-on screwdriver gearknobs and keys are the height of cool! I might grab some next time I see 'em. :) I'll even buy you one for Christmas steve and we can weld it to your shifter on boxing day. :P that's the kind of guy I am.

You cant weld plastic to metal? Wow, news to me :D

I meant cut off the metal shaft half way and weld big man

So we've had dildo knobs, screwdriver knobs, whats next?

lol it will neva live down its autosalon beautifulness :)

Not fussed about beauty just how it goes!

Yeah i was pretty chuffed with the 43.7 @ MDTC (keeping Ant honest) but i totally agree with it being capable of sub 1:10's... i know it can do it easily as the 1:10 i was doing was just so so terrible... brake shudder, +5mm toe out on rear (stock toe arms are fubar'd) and only able to get 3 laps out of it before it became undrivable... but thats motorsport and i know next time its a 1:09, or if it is a special day.. a 1:08 sumsing.... :P

Let me know who the silvia goes/went today!!!

mmmmmmm nice turbo Dave, it looks familiar. was'nt the one on the R32 internal gated???

same turbo, new housing :) i am not going through those boost control issues again.

So anyway, despite a horrible understeering pig of a car at the start of the day and me thinking i'd be lucky to be doing 13's i was surprised to see a best time (freak lap) of 1:10.3 or so from a previous best of 11.7. Not bad for the addition of some rear camber and a few poly bushes.

Added a bit of front toe out, dropped the front tyre pressures to the point where it was feeling pretty good and managed to get it to 10.1 with a lot of 10 second laps strung together. My mate was also driving and managed to crack a 9.9 something in it during the last session the bastard.

It really needs a bit more front camber but i just didn't have the adjustment left in it to get any more so it would still understeer horribly in a couple of situations but was reasonably happy everywhere else once i figured out how to get it to turn in.

No prob, if you have a vin I have fast so I should be able to get the number if you dont have it at hand.

Ross

Hey Ross, I've decided just to grab the whole pump assembly from the states mate as it's quick and not too expensive. Thanks againfor your offer though, very much appreciated! Did you go ahead with you rewiring kit in the end?

Oh, and good news, engine is apart and all is well. Thank fark for that!

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
