hope to have it done by may! (i hope)

(nearly all this stuff i already have waiting for it)

Why have you changed from the 2.6 full counter to a 3.0 litre, given the success of the 32?

hi mate

yeah good question, we are hoping for more torque across the range with similar turbos to what we currently use.

rpm limit will be about the same at 8000 or 8200 rpm,and we will have an extra gear too with the six speed sequential.

also this car is being built for a very different type of racing as it will be mainly on circuits and cill climbs, and the 32 was built as an all rounder with alot of ability on motorkhanas and things with a hydraulic handbrake setup and it could just bolt of corners and witches hats. and great gearing especially with a higher rpm limit.

i hope we have good results but wont really know for a few months.

chassis is almost stripped and stand is being made

cheers russ

So Russ are you going to reveal plans for the body work? hehe. or can I?!? It's certainly going to be a one off in Aus that's for sure.

absolutely you can if you like!

it will be great,cant wait to drive it! and help me forgive myself for doing this to such a lovely car and my wife will get off my case too!

Hey, I only just found this thread. Do you remember me? I am the guy with the GTR covered in Falken stickers. I raced at Maryborough & gatton. Are you comming to gatton this year?

I'm not racing this year. The car hasnt changed at all, hardly gets used actually coz I'm starting to build a house etc. I am setting up (suspension & alignment) a 32 GTR for gatton. It is a pretty serious one from what I can gather too, Its got a sequential box & stroker too I think.

I will be there to see how it goes, so I'l come n say gday.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
