Yeah cool! Wish i had the money to throw at a project like that. It must be a good feeling not worrying about what the boys in blue think.

Can't wait to see that t-bar go.

What are gonna race it in? Whatever you want i suppose. drag, drift, hill climb, sprints?

the conversion wont be until late august when the car returns to brisbane.

beleive me, im as excited about it as anyone else lol. i just cant do it where i am atm.

the car is going to be a very multipurpose car, and will be raced an any event i can get to.

and yeah i am absolutly sick of being hassled by the cops so i took the plunge and made it a track car, its just much better and it means i can run a propper car.

the main racing i want to start doing is sprints and hill climbs tho.

i would of left the original dash in, yank out the stereo, A/C, and spair din pocket and just make that square bit in aluminium (or carbon fibre) and put ur gauges/ switches there.

otherwise looks tuff, keen to see wot its pullin

goodluck!

yeah i was thinking about it.

but i was aiming for the moon when i was in weight saving mood, and the dash is a fair bit heavier then the ally sheeet.

:P stole my idea of side pipes... nevermind ill have to go twin coming out under each door :D

mate the side pipes are FANTASTIC lol. i really love them and they sound amazing with no cat and no muffler.

i was thinking twin but then i just wanted to get the exhaust out of the car as quick as possible. so i went simple and just dumped it out the side.

it should flow around 30% ish better then previous.

but it sounds absolutle porn

My only suggestion would be to try and make the plumbing from the front-mount to the inlet plenum more direct, reducing the length/bends of piping to the plenum will make your car more responsive.

(I lost a lot of response on my r33 when I went to similar setup as yours).

I have seen 2 ways of doing this, one is by cutting and shutting the existing inlet so the throttle faces forward, the other is just getting a pre-fabricated replacement plenum.

What would be TOTALLY awesome, though, is if you could get an adapter plate to run the side-mount plenum and 6-throttle setup from the rb26. Imagine having the variable cam timing AND the individual throttle setup! wicked.

i thought about your first way, and put it in the to hard basket

i thought about your second way and decided upon that when funds allow.

and i never even thought about your third way, but now that i am my little brain is hard at work pondering it

  • 2 weeks later...

update pics!!!!!

after finishing the engine i started on presentation and i decided to go for a full reverse panda paintjob, the roof was allready severly scratched from the previous owner so it was a big day witht he sanding block!!!

the bonnet is yet to be done, but the boot and roof are finished, well i still have to fill the holes in the boot and add the new carbon fibre spoiler but you get the idea.

PREP

240rwkw but then we had shitloads of blue smoke and i thought we blew an oil seal on the turbo

but turns out i needed to run a restrictor in the oil feed and it was over oiling and causing smoke the.

so hopefully back for round 2 next week :(

Looks like a great project mate. Only suggestion I'd make is to replace the standard seat if you haven't already. They don't hold you in place very well under hard cornering.

thank you

and deffinatly planning on changing the seat, have just been putting the $$ in other areas atm, have to buy a Tow car and trailer this week :)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
