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


Recommended Posts

another taken by Bens steady hand. if you look real hard, and i mean hard, you can just see it pop a masive flame on the back straight.

incar will come over the next few days. tomorow if pull apart day.

Well done again Damo, 62.6 is a very respectable time and considering track temp was so low and you struggled for grip only tells us there is more in it!

PS im still waiting for my cheque... or is it in the mail? Lol!

bit of an update. got injectors in after some dicking around.

modified stock fuel rail to make it twin entry centre out using stock fuel pressure reg.

put it on the dyno and this is the result.

before every one makes their judgments there is a few things to add.

fuel pump ran out of legs so couldnt get enough fuel in the top end. single external bosch.

car was ran in 5th as it wheel spun in 4th

so the number is marginal but it shows the difference e85 can make on an engine. its the same turbo back to back with only the injectors changed and a turbo beanie.

it makes more power, cooler engine, quicker, and with less boost.

upgraded fuel system is the next mod but im not looking to do that any time soon.

few pics to finish it off.

sticker bombed center console and changed switch gear

put mesh in intake to make it appear to have a headlight from a distance.

remounted my carbon pannel to cover wiring.

The front swaybar was disconnected to get better turn, but it did make it wander under brakes. The bar that's in it, is the size of a structual beam.

Yea thanks ben for uploading it. last run was my quickest by half a sec but i think the second last one was the nicest run.

thats on street tyres too. bit of an oversight. i had some better tyres but didnt have the time to change them during runs.

very pleased to get a good run out of this thing.

E85 makes the world of difference to the mid range, it feels far more responsive than earlier this year.

im pretty rusty in the driving department but i was only there to have a bit of fun. and like ben mentioned having no sway bar tends to make it dance under brakes.

Got the final round of the tassie drift series to go to this coming saturday so will see what it can do there.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
