.... If you need 2L AWD then go R32 GTS-4 baby but seriously...

One of the guys down here ran one - and its not a bad thing. Building one from the ground up would be better again as he bought his as a going concern.

The boys over here dont seem to be hearing the "Its been done..." M8

TT

Is that the one dressed up in Gibson-esque colours? It was a nice thing when I was looking at it. But when you see EVO6s for 8k as race only imports...from a performance standpoint the lil GTS-4 does not really stand up :(

But, if you shoot me an email addy Greg, I would be interested to know if there is any competition history for the car I am considering.

Yeah he had a very similar paint job to mine, you can't argue with his times though.... But his tyres were shagged at Targa fest.

You know there is another gtst for sale down here roy?

I only know of the two on my105...

I like the idea of classic as the variety of cars are more interesting and a fun rwd car does not have to worry about the army of awd hypo cars so from time to time there could be a few cars that you can get close to. There is a prepped and caged shell and a cheap registered runner to turn into one car for a decent enough dollar. It will be COOL!

now classic goes to 85, someone with money to needs to buy one of the group b road cars. A SWB Audi Quattro Sport, Lancia Delta S4, or RS200 EVO would go off

86 model though :(

Bodge is prepping up Rob Sherrard's RS200 for next year.

There's talk of 650 plus Hp all within rules.

Ummmmm, fark yes! :D

I'd rather a Subaru Leone than an Escort Cossie though :P Mainly because I could afford to fix all the shit that goes wrong on the Pommie crap.

And yes, my vag is tender.

just throwing this out there for the classic interest ( im not a huge follower of clasic) doesnt some voltswagen win every year?

how about a DR30 with FJ20 turbo?

they have IRS, turbo, cult following.

i know of a good 2 door shell in tassie and also of an original rs 4 door with original fj20.

Timmys had less than 6 months around EVOs and hes oviously been brain washed with all the coding he talks of AYC ABS STI rubbish. someone needs to take him for a ride in a nissan and show him what lifes about.

You could go to town on a DR30 since it's now under the classic rules. You could get a proper rear end designed for it, redesign the front end while keeping the struts. You have to use a turbo from the same eara as the car, so you could run a trust truck turbo. Stroke it to 2.2. Carbon fibre panels. They have a modern style ecu, so you could put a good computer in it.

Wouldn't make a bad jigger

A DR30, particular one of the ones with the big factory turbo would be a bit of a weapon, the man to talk to about DR30's on here is Discopotato.. he knows things, talked me out of wanting to build one LOL.

Well there goes that, was pretty obvious really. I have spent a good two weeks finding two cars to buy, one with a fully prepped shell and cage...and a DR30 is what I am looking at. May head up this weekend to look at the caged shell. 2.2L with a 5 speed dog box and with a friend who has a Gibson R31 and the pipeline of support on how to make a DR30 go :) Old school rwd goodness may be a Goer. ... :) Big thing is if the numbers add up need to consider what I could get if I sold it, as for me a lot of the fun woudl be building it...not sure if i can handle the logisitics and expense of tarmac rallies...so moving the car for not much of a loss if the sport is not for me is another consideration ?!?!?

The other thing i was looking at was a Nismo 270R as i can get a good running aus delivered car for a song to be used as the base. But S14 isnt as interesting as a DR30 :)

Well that makes two of us as I would kill for one of these Pommie Pieces of CRAP!

[pics above]

Sheesh, no love for the Royal Wedding or white trash Bristol Spec performance cars :(

A partner in the Rally Safe ting with YT has one as does his M8... one a repsol copy, the other Ford factory colours - look very ipressive...

Yeah a Z-Tune works for Outright Snowy.

Ok now we are talking :)

That could be some fun with an extra 100kw's or so. Then the car will also be in Pikes Peak spec as well.

Might have to go have a chat with the boss today and work out some numbers.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
