Looks like some dollars have been spent on that. They run a similar intercooler set up to what we have planed.

How do the jap powered cars go at speedway?

Iv'e found the answer to my question :-

Here a bit of info for the guys interested in building a cheap race car for dirt circuit. This car was started 12 days ago by a couple of novices and may be almost ready to race this weekend. The car (something a bit different a Hyundai sonata) was free. The materials for the roll cage cost $170 and the whole cars should be built for approx $500 - $600. Check out this thread it has some good info on how to fit the roll cage yourself and eventually will contain all the info to build a sedan based car.

still no new car in the garage it is still sitting in a shed that we cant access atm due too a muddy track :-( but on the bright side i picked up 2 rear tyres for it ....thank god for friends with sprintcars i scored these 2 that only had done 1 heat race on them

well actually i could damo these are 94 circumfrence x15inch rim size x 15 inches wide i grabbed the small ones they use . they use up too a 105 circumfrence x 15 inch rim x 17 inches wide . but there 410 ci alloy moter pulls just a bit harder than the 308 ive got lol

Hey Dean, Here's another option. Chris Noth on the Truro raceway committee has this for sale :-blown, injected, 350 Chev. It was last run in a commodore super sedan from Roxby and as you can imagine was insanely fast. It's a pity they banned nitrous a few years ago. A bit of laughing gas would make the 308 go hard.

yeah damo still sticking with the 308 cause i have one sitting here already just waiting for the pistons too rock up then will send the lot in to be balanced and will put it together .

i really dont want too spend a lot on the donk so if the car runs c or b grade so be it im really only after a bit of fun thats reliable and cheap ..but if growley custom cnc wants too buy that blower and sponser me a deal im happy to buy low comp pistons lol .

cheers all more pics as i go along

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
