This thread is interesting.

I have just started using my track R32 GTS-T on the dirt stuff as well. Although I cannot compete in the full on dirt rallies as yet, I have entered into the North Queensland Khanacross series. The car is all caged out and cams log booked and I am just waiting for my rego to come through so I can enter in the dirt and tarmac rallies at a higher level.

These photo's are from two weekends ago up in Mossman.

What are peoples thoughts on actually needing turbo power in a 2wd rally car? Iam not sure, seems to just turn them into a tyre lathe.

I say this because we run a 4AGE Sprinter with a massive 80 odd rwkw (Stockish motor with quads) in the Tasmanian rally series and we are keeping up with and even beating some of the 4wd turbo cars. And there is a 2wd N/A SR20 Sunny Gti down here that regularly makes it onto the podium.

I think we need that Formula Atlantic engine to keep up with the Gti though!

A pulsar SSS with the SR20DE would destroy a stockish turbo RWD skyline... NA torque is where its at. My 1600 had a class winning motor out of a 180B put into it... in the hills on tarmac or gravel it was a SHITLOAD of fun!!!!!! short gearing, response/torque, this is why a 3.4L R31 would be my pick, and shells are peanuts

looks like GREAT fun

I've been running an R32 rallycar for about three years now over here in NZ. Built it up from a road car.

The car started of just as a taily tank slapper on gravel, but over time we've developed the suspension and got it handling. It's such an unorthidox car with pretty much 70:30 weight split, apparently totally wrong for rallying, but we've proved them wrong with some good results, class wins and a 1st 2wd overall in sprints.

The car is built to our cc capacity rules, so it is still a 2ltr N/A with head work and ITB's.

A Silvia/180 etc would be a better car to start with, better weight ballance and the SR20 is a good donk to get N/A grunt out of. I just wanted to do it different and run a 6.

no matter how much better FWDs are on gravel, I still wouldn't rally one.

same goes for a NA Silvia or Skyline. Everything is better with turbos! The only thing I own with wheels that doesn't have at least one turbo is the camper trailer!

ITB sounds great!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
