I have long loved to own a neat litlte R100 as a daily driver. But is cool to turn one into a Sports Sedan.

Yeh, i was waiting to get all my pics and post up a thread on "Stuff track cars...build a road/club car" But i think i am about to pull the pin on the paint nad body repairs to my car in favour of just buying a neat std GTSt and swapping over parts. Which will leave me with my current car as a shell with enough spare parts to get it to the track for some serious attempts at corner speeds/late braking and ultimately binning. Sounds like under 2L Sports Sedan is the go. Surely it will keep up with those Geminis :whistling:

what's so wrong with your car now?

it looks a hell of a lot better than what mine did when i dropped mine off for panel/paint...

doing the parts swap thing and registering another car will be as much if not more of a headache?

neat road/club car is the way to go...

if you think you have problems now with just one car why throw another car into the equation?

and just a theory here but the more time and effort ($) you put into a car the less likely you are to bin it, you will only (or should only) ever push nine tenths in a car you care about...

just my 2cents :whistling:

I was speaking to mat and he was doing 1:41's at winton in the datto he's racing and coming 3rd. However the 1st and 2nd cars were doing 1:34's.

what's so wrong with your car now?

Just what you can see in the pics on the earlier page. Body and paint just costs way too much so its cheaper to start again. You are right, its not easier, but it is cheaper...also means after going through the car and putting all the good bits into one single straight car i will know everything is in reasonable health condition wise.

Just need to find a good body car quickly

I know its not a nissan but this is my little Mazda R100 Sports Sedan, it should be ready to race in a few months.

That is an awesome little car. My old man had an R100. Lowered and fat rims. The thing went round corners or 3 wheels. Loving the wide body look.

What's it running?

Finally some pics Brian,,,about bloody time mate. It's fat little monster indeed. I almost bought that car some years back and stupidly bought the Capri.

Brian is it still running the 13BPP with that filthy big 51mm weber with extended bowl?.

Neil.

The old R100 is still running a 13B PP im going weber injection now have a 55mm EFI Hardwear injection set up and a fule only computer. Heres some more pics...

Few more weeks and its going to Alex at Redline Rotary to get tuned

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!

No prob any time.

Moving back to vic + out of a job since xmass = kit on hold. Still will do it but at this stage dont know when ill be able to get it out. I striped mine and can make further reductions so the estimated weight will be around +/- 5kg. At the moment i am just creating the wiring diagrams in CAD then we will go from there.

Cheers

Got the rb20 tuned at CNJ Performance on Tuesday and was really really happy with the results, customer service and price :)

Got a track day comin up next week, will be good to see how it goes just have to sort out my bloody power steering now :D

Nice power mate. 3rd gear run????

wow a PP right next to your leg.... that would be loud in the car... brap brap braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap

love how rotaries are so small, barely bigger than the bellhousing on the box!

do you run a scatter shield over it?

Yes, it has a 5mm thick stainless steel sheild over the clutch and flywheel area, then just has all the other alloy covers that sit on top. its always in the back of my mind what could happen if........ but i dont want to think about it.

Dad drove the Targa car in a support race for the V8 Supercars this weekend. Poor car needs another new Front Left. Lap 3 of race 1, a widebody Porsche GT2 brock a lower control arm coming out of the hairpin, and went off to the left, hit a car and came back into Dad. Me and anohter guy bent the guard out, and cable tied and taped the front bar back together to get him out for the next race. Porsche had to go home.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
