Hi all,

We're building a new car for the Queensland Time Attack series. Starting with a pretty much stock 1999 R34, we are adding the following bits to get the output up to around 300-350HP ATW.

We started the build yesterday (08/04/10) and hope to get it all finished in the next few weeks.

Here is the shopping list;

HKS GT-RS Turbo kit

Apexi Power FC

HKS EVC Boost Control

Nismo 480cc injectors

Nismo Spark Plugs

Nismo High Pressure Fuel Pump

Nismo Fuel Pressure Regulator

Nismo Coppermix Clutch

Nismo GT LSD TT 2-way

and here is the progress so far.

Finished in a few Weeks!!!!!

Nice, gotta love a quick turnaround.

Some nice parts you have there, Looking forward to watching the progress.

Is it going to be a track only car?

What times are you hoping you will get out of her?

Thanks for the support guys! We are planning to get to the injectors and fit up the turbo this afternoon. Pics to follow!

Duncan1 - We will keep it road registered and we hope to break into the sub-one minute bracket at QR!

BWRGTR - Yeah, the Bayside Blue GT-R we are pretty happy with, no new mods to it at the moment. The 205HP ATW also seemed a bit low, but we did hit the speed cut.

Luke_ENR34 - You might have to put a bit more work into your proposal! :D

hmm yeh 205hp is very low i think, 206kw stock (not at the wheels given, but thats ~280hp) vs rb20 165kw(~220hp) and my old 32 gtst made 200hp atw with a 3inch exhaust, fMIC and a pod filter

does the car still have stock exhaust ?

otherwise great build ! good to see some people still go for a nice amount of power instead of chasing huge numbers :wub:

I much preffer a bit less power but more response, linear delivery

Day 3 12/4/10

So while I was at the workshop yesterday, the CF card in my camera exploded. Luckily, my trusty camera phone

was there for backup.

LSD & gearbox are now bolted back in, factory turbo is out & HKS GT-RS is in!

are you guys going to remove HICAS?

We're leaving the HICAS alone at the moment, we'll take it for a spin once it's all together and see how it it feels. We'll make a decision after that if it's going to go.

Should be a nice car once its complete. but I am suprised at the choice on the Little GT-RS when QR is really all about straight line poke.

What suspension / tyres etc are you guys gonna run?

Zebra, we are going for strong and reliable, rather than going for the highest output. It doesn't have to be the quickest car out there, just enough to have some fun.

Leaving the suspension alone at the moment, it has a set of racing logic coilovers now and we will probably make a few changes, but nothing yet. The wheels will be LM GT4 18 x 10 all round and as far as tyre choice, we use either Nexen, Corsa or Achilles depending on the day.

I like your thinking with that.

Are you not going to run proper semi-slicks for the track?

Its just that you said you wanted sub 60secs on the sprint track...which is pretty damn fast.

Sorry mate, I didn't include Falken Azenis that we use at track days! On standard rubber in its previous form, we have managed a 1.06.03 from this car, so we are hoping that sub 60 is within reach. If everything falls into place, it will be ready for the next track day to find out!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
