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


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

Power cruise skids.

note the front lip had been broken in the middle.hence it looks pointy. to make the 33 lip work it had to have aprox 80mm out of the middle and 40mm out of the back of it on each side. i had originally plastic welded and braced the join but broke it loading onto trailer as the 33 lip in the middle is about 50mm lower than my VS one that used to clear.

this is an average pic to give you an idea of what the 33 lip looks like when fitted properly.

got a small list of things to sort out before drift series starts.

Power fc being repaired.

fitting modded knuckles if time permits

i am keen to strip my loom out if i have time.

need to make ducts up for my roof scoop.

try and stop compressor surge from turbo

nearly 3 months down the track ive nearly got it ready to go for a club day / shake down this saturday.

have had the power fc repaired but that is all from the list above. i think i have 3 events in 6 weeks then there is a lul in motor sport here so a "mid year" pull apart will commence.

i have had the lower control arms extended ready for the knuckles but only got half way through the swap then decided to put it back ready for anther club day.

2 major things i have done are. remove and re-shim my diff as it had started open wheeling. will invest in a decent LSD one day.

and fit up a R33 steering rack and tie rods.

for the people that are interested the r33 tie rods are 20mm longer than the stock r32 rods. the rack itself is 5mm longer than the 32 rack. and the 33 rack has more lock/travel than a stock r32 rack. only 6mm extra can be pulled out of the 33 rack over the standard travel. i have uras spacers in my 32 rack 2x8mm and it has the same as the standard r33 rack.

the only mod i had to do was tweak the power steering lines and banjo fittings so they would bolt up. they use the same bushings and threads for tie rods ect.

hope to have a pic or to after the weekend.

Ok Club day done and dusted.

i managed a 60.4 according to Bens data logger but got timed at a 60.5 which was also logged on natsoft. Still that was enough to win the day.

My Uncle also drove the car as i like to share it around and he was next in line haha. he managed a 62.5 was a super effort for his second outing in the car. It was grate to watch someone get into the car so much. buy the last few sprints he was getting out of the car talking with ben and i about where he could improve and how the advice just given to him about gear selection, corner ect had helped the lap times drop.

Most of the time i will put down to the rebuilt diff after going through the logs it was putting power down every where and my speed was grater with less throttle on corner exits.

can now confirm that r33 rack works a treat. if anything its a little heavier than the r32 rack but its a long way no power steering. time will tell regarding lock and durability.

damage from the day resulted in this

before pic here

also added during the week some original style weather shields from JustJap. very happy with the look and quality of them. they were easy to fit aswell.

should have some incar up soon.

mid 60's is fair going, looking forward to getting to run my own car there sometime.

you entering the supersprint champs on the 25th of November?

i remember seeing this car for the first time in 08 haha, have watched it grow over the years, then i bought a 32 for drifting , sweet build :)

how much did the weather sheilds set you back?

Im pleased someone was watching, most people only watch s chassis or lloyd smith. Haha.

If you want any advice im happy to help

Justjap do carbon or plastic. The plastic is tinted. Still see through thoe. Not to sure on price best to check the website

Yes i won 2nd over all at the first one 3years ago. Its basicly a tassie time attack event in my eyes as a lot of fast cars come out of the wood work. Hoping to keep up with rodgers mate in the r32gtr this year.

Im hoping to have a run at basky soon but time will tell.

ahh cool. yeah i saw it in the events calender and thought it may be along those lines. will def and try to make it up, maybe even have a run against you!

good to hear the car is going well, minus the nose getting smashed. how did that happen anyway?

Haha yeah seems abit that way at times, but i love the sound of a sweet rb , so ihad to have 1 , are you entering the rounds this year ?

cheers mate

yeah i had seen the carbon ones but was after tinted ones, will suss it out thanks :),

yes the more the merrier. with any luck you will be at the same basky one. unless pete puts on another skyline day.

well i guess it just wasnt secured properly. being a drifter a few cable ties and a couple of screws didnt cut it but it happened at low speed 120ish. had done quite a few before hand.

i couldnt find the tinted ones on the site but i rang them and asked for them as i knew they did them.

hope to do the full series. will do the first one and see how i feel i think. i have to try and work out a realistic budget as the entry has gone up. my fuel cost has doubled (e85) having more power costs more for maintenance and im not good enough to pick up a tyre sponsor. will wait and see.

Yeah sweet , im entering round 1 aswel , will come up and say hello, yeah the $ is always an issue haha

yep just checked the events again, the next sprint at basky is the combined clubs event on the 28th of october, bit of a way off but no excuses for me, should have my cob web infested dust collector lapping by then =D

August 5th drifting tas are having another test and tune day which i belive is cheaper than a normal day. it goes somthing like half hour of drift half of circuit. ect ect. would be a good cheap day and i can have a go at both.

what do you need to enter these sprint days,? same sorta requirments for drift?

a level 2s licence and all the same safety gear.

looks like my long time sponsor in Kerry (owner and lover of motor sport) of the Jail House grill and Leeve Food Co is back on board for 2012. thats a grate start for the year.

  • 2 weeks later...

more motorsport.

Round one of the tas drift series done and dusted. not the best finish but am happy i never got bogged.

few small improvments to be made before next round 4 weeks away.

here is one clip for outside. incar to come.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
