Saw some of these cars passing me like I was standing still the weekend before this on the test and tune day, awsome things. I was in the white 32 GTR with the SAU WA sticker's in the qtr windows

Ah ,yes I was driving the Blue United Oil Series 6 RX7

I remember seeing you there.

Where can i read more about Kerry Wade's R32 GTSt?

Not sure I think its all kept pretty close to their chest!

I know its a R32 GTST with a twin turbo RB26 in it.

All cars run the PPG straight cut do box 5 speed.

we have limits on wieght/tyre size.

My RX7 is 1210kg with 16x7 inch rims, 225/50/16 Bridgestone RE55 control tyre.

i went down and checked this event out with a mate and damn it looks like awesome fun, im building a 32 gtr up for track and was interested in joining up but speaking to a few drivers and costs seem to go through the roof doing these sorts of events, they all said dont bother unless u run a dry sump for a start :thumbsup: I could get the car specs as good as most, but the ongoing costs seem to be alot more than i imagined.

The late model rx7s including yours kingscorp are the best base for this type of track work going by what i saw on the weekend, they seem to be soo competitive in all motorsport to be honest, the little rotors dont get enough credit in my book. They also sound awesome in person definately one of my favourites. Wade's r32 is right up there too, we left before the last race, who ended up winning that one in your class scorp?

great racing guys, good dicing and a little rubbing but nothing silly. I like the look of the gtst's interior too lol.

unique1...sorry to say there's no such thing as cheap racing. I stuck to production cars to keep the costs down but its still a real big step up from a club car and supersprints. If you can't spend enough you will just end up at the back (or in the paddock) no matter what class it is.

All i want to know is what suspension and power is the GTSt making. I have been thinking about a PPG gearbox, but they dont make a gearset for the R32 GTSt box :cool: A good gearbox is cheaper then a bigger engine and power that jsut stresses everything else on the car

It would be a genuine 450rwhp as are all the front running cars you see in the footage. I would say its a R33 GTST gearbox, it is definatly a PPG gear set

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
