Damo's R32 Gts-r, On Going Project Fun Car. History And Use Full Info

[XRATED]

Ha ha ha... I love it. Cut that sucker up!

Have you seen the oval pipe, places like burnsstainless do? Maybe you could go with a 3.5" down pipe into a 4" then press the 4" pipe into an oval shape so you can get enough clearance??

How did you find the itb's, think they are worth the effort?

I have a couple of sets laying around...

Cheers

well the 3" dump hangs about 1/2" lower than the rails so even 3" wide oval will be to low. i was going to make somthing along the oval line but hey why not cut up the floor i say.

my cars not eligable for any particular classes because of some of the other irraversable things ive done to it so if i ever log booked and raced it it would probably need to go into an all out class so i may as well go all out.

but no i havent seen thoes products. at the moment tossing up between 3 1/2" or 4" for the exhaust. either way it will be straight through with no mufflers at all. ive been running this car with a straight through 3" for the past 2 years and its definatly never been the lowdest car at the track.

Not to sure about the ITB's yet. i havent been able to prove any gains at all. they more than likely wont affect anything untill i get over 300rwkw but they should help for spool time and throttle response. they also help with surge in bigger turbo aplications.

as far as seat of the pants they are very noticable. they feal grate under the right foot and are like a light switch. open and you know it ,off and you know it. the first time driving around the pits i found it hard to drive slowly because you only just have to crack the throttles and the engine starts to pull so thats a positive.

i just wanted a forward facing plenum cheaper than the plazman ones and thats pretty much what i got. i played around with a few different options and spoke to a few metal work places about just making a simple box style one that bolt on to the lower runners but they all wanted a fortune and wanted to do it completely different to what i wanted to do.

the mate i have with over 300rwkw out of a rb20 has just a cheap box style plenum ontop of the bottom runners. cheap and sucsessfull.

What about twin 3" pipes?

Ah f*k it- just cut the f**ker up!

I have a couple of gtr intake sets kicking around... The 25 allready has a ported greddy copy manifold on it. I wouldn't expect power gains, just throttle response. I don't think I'll bother, that 32 is going to end up with a rb26 in it anyway. I might just whack on a HV45 throttle body instead.

I'm pumped about the motorkhana in dec! Still bringing the 4dr?

there is a hillclimb at highclere (NW) on the 4th of dec. you could come up and do that then stay the night in town with us and then do the motorkhana justin.

you will definatly get the throttle response you want with the 26 plenum

Want to test your skills? Impress your mates? Drive with no speed limit?

This is your chance to have a great night with friends, cars and action!

Driver Skills Australia (DSA) are running a Gymkhana Sprint Series designed to be suitable for all drivers - from first timers up to experienced motorsport drivers.

...

Events will be held on Wednesday nights and Saturday days.

Cars must be road worthy, registered and drivers must have enclosed shoes, long pants and a helmet. Excessively loud vehicles may be turned away so keep noise to a 'sensible' level.

The focus is on providing drivers with somewhere safe to enjoy their cars.

There will be some prizes on the night - based on consistency rather then outright speed - so everyone has a chance.

This is the first event of this type being run by DSA in Tasmania - however many events have been run Australia wide succesfully and we are looking forward to providing a fun and safe environment.

Hmmmm looks like fun i mite have to enter.

welded some brackets on to hold my power steering cooler that had previously been held on with cable ties and found a bit of old intercooler ducting so i can duct the air onto it properly.

also mounted up the reo bar and mounted intercooler to it. looks the works.

That will be a cracker! Its a state champ round and all the old boys in mg's/mini's etc get quite flustered with wheel spinning turbo cars!!!!

[XRATED]

AWSOME!!!

Looks like Dec is shaping up nicely....

4th- North West Hillclimb

5th- Symonds Plains Motorkhana

8th- DEC Gymkana

11th- DEC Gymkana

I had better get cracking when I get back!!!

Digging the PS cooler... what's the core from? fits well. I was thinking about using the back half (hicas) pump on the steering pump to feed the PS cooler loop.

I'm not going to have time to install a GTR plennum/itb's before december.... It would help get the 5557 on tap a little quicker though... hmmmm.

Is it a motorkhana? or is it a propper gymkhana...ie bigger corse?

MSCT lists the Symonds Plains event on the 5th of Dec as 'Motorkhana' round 3.

[sav man]

I meant the one at the DEC

[XRATED]

That's listed as 'Gymkhana'.... not to shure what the actual course is???

[DJRIFT]

the cooler is off a late model rx7 i think. got it off a mate who got it off a mate. was going to use it as a fuel cooler.

the only time ive ever had issues with PS boiling was at a motorkhana. the last few ive been at with the drift car i dont need to work the wheel as much so it doesnt get hot. once you start pushing more lock and spending more time on the lock stops is when they will boil. its not realy neassary just somthing i have.

i hacked up the IC duct to make a pretty good duct for the PS cooler tonight. will put pics up when finished.

The Gymkhana at the DEC is run by DSA and has nothing to do with CAMS or AASA so expect a fair bit of freedom good track etc..

I suspect it will be using a similar course to the targa stage that was run through there a few years back, but maybe longer?

Im pissed its a wed night and likely that im in Melb's anyway

SWEEET.... Should be fun!

[ahh 33 s2]

would the way u mounted the PS cooler be effective for an oil cooler. coz its not really face on to the on coming wind, although i can see how air will still pass over it,

well it probably looks worse than it is. it is dead square with the rad suport pannel.

that spot is where the GTR trust and HKS oil cooler kits are mounted also as there is no room in the right hand side.

and im putting a duct directly onto it so that should help also.

thanks for the query thoe. other peoples perspectives are always handy.

oh just had another look at the photo, and i was looking at the photo wrong, so my above comment was well, wrong, going to try that possition over the weekend,
