i'm thinking of doing some circuit racing this year and was wondering what class people would recommend? i was thinking of super tt but i'm not sure cause i've never raced before. i don't think i'm going to be able to afford Drift Australia again this year, but i still want to compete in something. i'll have to modify my cage and i'm not sure if my standard brakes will be up to it, what pads do people use? thanks in advance for any tips. nathan weissel

Get some r33 or r34 brakes on it, nice wide semi comps, then take it hillclimbing :glare:

I know a place you can practice :laugh:

There's also the motokhana champs in addition to the hillclimb champs. Or the circuit club or the SSCC etc

Nathan,

It all depends what you want to do mate.

When you say race, as in grid racing like Improved Production or any "State series?"

Or supersprints etc with other clubs?

Doing any state rounds etc, Im pretty sure you'd need to modifiy the car in line with the rules and regs etc.

If you joined the SSCC, you can do their interclub series with the alfa,hsv and wrx clubs.

They do supersprints, hillclimbs and 'khana's. (these guys arent strict with mods and stuff!)

With their classing, Im fairly sure you would be in the SVD class.

I joined the SSCC and will be trying to get out to a few sprints.

Pads? check out the suspension/braking section - theres a brake pad user rating guide in there! All I have been using have been benedict's.

Cheers,

Chris

p.s. Steve, werent you meant to be joining the SSCC?!!?

i kind of like the idea of racing door to door with other cars.

Have a chat with Duncan. I know he is doing a series this year, one thing though I think there is alot of restrictions to mods etc.

As soon as my cars moving under its own power ill send the money to them

Funny that, its up to this bloke :glare: .......

Didnt you say budget is a constraint?

Door to door wont be cheap. As far as racing on a budget goes IMO the SSCC sprints are good value (points are awarded etc)

i'm not giving up drift, i might have to postpone it for this year due to lack of funds, but i should be right for next year. i'll still do local drift comps and interstate ones with decent prize money.

yeah thats a shame to hear nathan - no doubt money is more important than talent in motorsport.

SuperTT for sure for an ex drift car.

Cams doesn't have any category suitable -

production cars like I run in are 99% standard including boost

improved production requires a 38mm restrictor (tiny) for turbos

sports sedans you would be legal for those but they are about 1.00 flat around wakefield.

AMRS is the most friendly for turbo cars in nsw, they run a couple of rounds in nsw each year. I'm going to try and do a round or 2 with them now I'm allowed to run a boost controller.

I haven't done a round with them yet, but I understand there is a maximum difference between your quakifying and race pace. Not sure what the penalty is but they've been doing this for afew years now,....

be a damn shame to not see you in DA this year, allways liked your driving style smooth and fast.

Would be very interesting to see how the car goes in proper racing, as in grip and power levels. And to see how someone thats been drifting goes in it.

Good luck!!

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
