there are also startermotor relocation kits available now which puts the starter on the other side which would solve all the issues. if your 32 goes 1350kg, you will be 450kg lighter than a VE, trust me, you dont need to turbo it. the car turns 3rd gear for fun. the torque is massive.

found a thread on sump extensions and baffeling, going to do this before next track day.

That sump looks the money, bolt it up and get to wakie hehe

COOL! Thanks for posting. Its got some toe out of turn 1 when you stretched its legs. Sounds so sweet, makes more usable power then any turbo 6 would make. So in the world of crazy conversions i am torn between Chev or 20B :P (not that i will be doing either...but fun to dream)

brakes are great, they were recommended by Duncan who is a good source of info and advice for most things bar pushrod v8s lol. They easily outbtake the mechanical grip of the tyre if you jump on them. i realed off 6 laps straight, 3 of which were in the 1.08sand the rest 1.09s and they were great. its the first time ive had the confidence to climb on them hard as the car setup is improving all the time. i could cover the brake in turn 1 at 240kph without unsettling the car and easily make the turn in to turn 2, very happy. but my car is light so doesnt work them as hard.

Sounds plenty strong stu :P

How are you finding the brakes?

haha get stuffed both of you :P

good to see the times tumbling Stu....I'm sure it has a couple more seconds over the next 12 months with more development which makes this about the quickest GTST going around

ok Roy, its only a warm up lap while tuning but its ok.

Oh yeah bring on the SAUNSW day!!!

Im not kidding, so many people say it sounds like a v8supercab, and you know what? Get someone to drive it and close your eyes. You'll agree!

I finally worked out where you got the inspiration from for the colour scheme for your car - you copied one of my toys! :devil:

I built this baby from a wreck 25 years ago and have spent the last month bringing it back to life after having it in storage for 22 years. She also runs a side pipe with a very open exhaust - she makes some noise (stirs up the neighbours to no end) but it is not in the same league as your car.

In addition, Daniel's car now has a complete new front end (suspension, steering and brakes) in it and it is at the panel shop for some structual repairs. I am also in the process of picking up a full set of R33 GTR front panels (guards, bonnet and front bar) so the big question is do I make it into a Series II or a GTR. Decisions, decisions but to save 20 kg and be able to run 9's all round is very tempting........

ahh, good charles, good too see the projects are coming along. the little jeep looks great. sooner its done you can turn your attention to the track cars.

I started the oil pan/sump modifications on saturday. actually almost finished it with only some internal gates left to do and put a relief in the front fot the sway bar.

hope to have it finished this week.......then just have to swap it with the one in the car and re-plumb the cooler and external oil filter. Pretty happy so far as it only took about 4 hours.

ended up finding that it was rocker ratio that was the issue, not the brand so replaced the 1.8s with 1.7s.

we tried to run a group buy on custom oil pans, but had no interest. if you want one done PM me. there are pics of the rb sumps i have done on here, but like i said people were to tight to spend $550. rather rebuild engines lol.

Looking nice stu :P

Do you wanna do my 30 sump lol?

And what rockers did you replace the Yella Terra's with, I think you said Harland Sharp was a possibility

hahha, you know, they look like a horse.....

got the sump finished this arvo and back in the car tonight. re-plumbed the remote filter, cooler and oil pressure switches.

everything is sweet, fits neatly with no clearance issues. Engine now holds around 8.5 litres on a dry fill which is a great improvement over the 6 litre capacity from factory.

unfortunately on start up we found a pin hole on one of the welds around the high pressure outlet so the pan needs to come off again. I wont be doing it in the car again so going to pull the engine and put a bearing set through it while im at it.

happy that it all fits and everything is plumbed, but also dissapointed with the leak.

probably puts me out for sau track day. ;)

charles....definately gtr front....more rubber is always handy up front and it gives you the option of running same size tyres all round.

stu...what is a "rocker"??

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
