Can you run a 13b in the s1-3? I though you had to run a 12a.

That car of stringers has had squilions spent on it

S1-3 came out with 13B in the US. S3 12A Turbo in Japan.

But didn't Benson say something about a particular model that you could run? 13BT?

Oh my, if I wasn't at the pub overlooking Hamilton Island harbor awaiting the arrival of Captains Close and Cuneo, thus talk of rotors could make me ill... The Coronas ate making me giggle though instead :)

See Timmy,

now thats what I am afraid of with the Rotor. Its just too far for me to come to suffer a fail early in the event.... But I am sure there is someone out there that can build a tough one if I dont ask too much of it. Rick Shaw seems to make em last.

Re the 13BT, I think there is a window to run one as Stuart mentioned. Pretty sure there was a turbo model released at the end of the series overseas. That said, seems if you go classic MS there is just about no limit to what you can do to one regardless of what it had standard. I think you will find a few guys will go for the FC rotor chassi (series 4-5) as they had some nice updates but are heavier.

Ah Woo, you have got the life. Sunshine and cold caronas could even make GTR ownership and maintenance funny. Maybe Snowy needs a trip north??

Shame everything has turned on its side for me this year, I would have gone to sydney to see him live, but again Rallying fuct me over.

I'm sketching a carby and points setup on a napkin that I reckon will be the gun on 35 Gtrs.

Going to have to run that past Stuart.... Triple 48 IDA webbers FTW. :)

EDIT: And Timmy I will definately have to make use of that expression. Winner.

Yeah I need a trip much further north than that. Where the beers have a decidedly European flavor!

Because there are some Caterhams calling us to come visit next year that want us to jump in a Spa with them amongst other fun activities!

I didn't realize how loud I was laughing due to earphones Timmy..... I looked around to find a few folks suggesting I should suck a bag of dicks ....... and "make them all cum" LMFAO :D

ROFL! I thought you might like that, you wanna see the rest of his stuff

You're gunna love Barry's boat Woo. We had dinner on it a while back, veeerrry flash!

Harsh. Damn harsh.

But fair.

I have a mate who put a VH45 in a 300zx, running and roadworthy !

One of the engines he considered before he settled on the V8 was a 20b, Lulz would have been uncontrollable.

S1-3 came out with 13B in the US. S3 12A Turbo in Japan.

Believe it's only S3 that had the 13b option. Drama with the 12a, turbo or not, the housings are unavailable and the 10% rule won't get you over the line to 1308cc, the cut-downs would give the parc ferme ghouls a little shock though!

Everyone has their own personal wank, wank apex seal horror story, as long as you keep em cool and avoid the hairdryer, they'll be the most reliable thing out there, plenty of endurance races attest to that.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
