looks good russ, can't wait to whip your guy's arses :cheers:

you going to log book it as 3d?

i like your style, will be really interested how light you can get the car. And don't worry by the time you've stripped and cleaned it all it will be lovely. my car never gets time to get too dirty between rebuilds lol

cheers dunc! yeah 3d most likely i think it's about the only class it will fit, glad they changed the rules. for turbo 4wd cars

i also mixed you up with paul(dirt grage) on another thread , i have some video's ( skyline group a races) i need to send him.

i know what ya mean about between rebuilds, lol:)

are you doing targa again?

i will definately let you know how light we can get it, as a shell i can pick up the whole front of the car one handed on the hoist!!

hey david are you meaning the bathurst sprint at christnas(drive bathurst) or is there another one i can go to??

ahh good I was wondering what you were smoking lol

there is the bathurst supersprint (full track @ $50k a lap or whatever their price is) or the hillclimbs and supersprints run by BLCC they are about $100 ea. First 2 are in march, there are more runs mid year and they run another one first weekend december each year.

our production car is running again today should hit the track tomorrow, it looks nice and clean right now. And as covered in the bathurst 12 hr thread we beat the guys who op qualified back in October - shame they have banned the 32 gtr (again) by bringing in a 5 year age limit to the bathurst races this weekend :cheers:

our sports sedan is a way off yet - engine is ready standard 26 bottom end with a bit of porting, oversize valves and big cams with releived head. but on 2530 turbs I'm sure we will be well short of the power you guys make. probably ready mid year.

I am curious how you mated the sump / diff to the rb30 block? did you modify the block or sump? Have you rigged up any oil squirters for the bottom of the pistons?

I have seen a 30 block modified to suit gtr sump before, but it was a bit experimental & costly.

thanks for the info dunc

are you going to the march sprints?

have you been around the mountain! what times if you have?

i would love to give it a crack sometime soon.

there's i a hillclimb on tomorrow ( just testn tune ) that i am thinking about turning up to!

i feel a bit shagged though, as i went and did a heap of mowing out at lakeside raceway today to help clean the track up.!! bloody hot and burnt

they are in for lots of trouble when it opens back up, as someone complained from a house near by the moment a motorbike went around the track! and it was a bloody quiet bike doing no more than 60!!

I'ev only done the hillclimb and par track supersprint, which are still great fun. COuldn';t justify the price for the full track sprint and $5k or whatever it was, but 2 GTRs (Whitehead and Holland) went up there for that. They didn't trouble the '92 times to much

I have been arount the mountian a few times, only in a HQ race car tho! dam good fun.

When is lakeside opening up again? I would like to get involved, as thats where I cut my teeth on bitumen racing years ago.

if you are going to log book it as a 3D Sport Sedan, those front gaurds aren't legal - the opening at the rear of the gaurd is not allowed. The front undertray would also be illegal - not allowed to extend rearward beyone the leading edge of the front tyres. Canards are also not permitted.

HMMM...thanks for that, we might have to have a second set of front guards and bumper for log book racing

mind you mainly interested in time attack events and sprints, jdm etc.

cheers russ

we have decided not to acid dip( at this stage ) car is ready for body prep and just finishing the stand for it, then we will sandblast what we can and

take the rest off by hand. then off for cage and some other mods.

to be honest ben , i dont know

the chassis will be sandblasted to remove all body deadner and seam sealer and then heated before doing seam welding to get most of the under seam sealer out,

i would guess we will probably remove 20 odd kilo of body deadner and i think the shell weight is around the 300/350 kilo mark currently, we havent weighed it yet.

there is a few areas we were concerned about in regards to acid dipping without intimate knowledge of the process eg r34 has dual skined firewalls, removing all the acid out of places like that may be a bit of a nightmare, secondly i have a sandblast booth available to me so that is the easiest & an effective method for us.

not sure whether it's on all r34's , but the underside of this shell is coated in deadner also in the wheel arches. so probably that again in weight

    • Been a long time since r31 got some love, my brother dropped a shitbox ls1 crapadore in my lap to fix up.  Put a wiper motor in as the flooded one was no longer alive.  got windscreen wipers now. Time to clean respray and install back in the titanic  IMG_0505.mov
    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
