33 Gtst Street/track Car


Recommended Posts

After that i installed the hks oil cooler kit, pretty straight foward. With the aircon removed, i decided to

mount it in front of the radiator for now. Gives me more space to utlize my brake ducts.

You might get lucky, but I found my oil temps weren't well controlled with the cooler mounted between intercooler and radiator. It's been moved and hangs underneath the RHS headlight. Time will tell if it works better there.

Went and bought some dry ice today, then went too work removing the sound deadening.

Worked a treat, got all of it out apart from some bits on the tranny tunnel and the vertical

pieces at the rear. I'll get to them with a heat gun a bit later on.

Also removed the aircon box above the passenger side dash, and the fan box on the left side of that. Bloody big items,

not light aswell. I'll remove the whole heater box behind the dash later on, once i take the dash off.

Got a hill climb this weekend so dont want to be rushing to put the car back together.

Another goodie arrived yesterday, a very snug Racetech seat :)

Put the car back together for the huntley hill climb this weekend. Haven't bought a trailer yet so i'll be driving it down there,

hopefully no dramas.

Got some photo's of my new daily and tow bitch.

An 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, fully optioned, awesome interior, 5.7 Hemi v8. A bit thirsty

but i don't drive that much. In love with it already, tow capacity 3500kg's.

Now i need to get that trailer

put the car back together yesterday and took her out to the Huntley hillclimb this morning.

Went alright, had to get use to the sticky rubber. First time i've used r spec tyres, and

they are alot gripper than the shit i have used before.

The car was missing anyware above 4500-5000, i did have them gapped at 1.1 and they were fine before,

but the combination of removing the cat and putting a larger exhaust plus a couple extra psi was blowing them

out. I'll replace them this week and run them at .8

Was lot of good fun though!

Now to pull the car back apart again :)

nah decided to go a different route with the engine. Going to put all the bolt ons and tune it on e85, but i'll go an rb30 bottom end when it's time.

Was away for a couple months for work, just got back and going to start work on it again fitting the intake manifold, turbo kit and fuel system.

Hopefully get out for a few track days asap. Bought a Tilta trailer so keen to test it out :)

well been away for work non stop which doesnt help, but got a couple days off so trying to get as much done as possible.

Got my head back from the machine shop. Head it cleaned up, oil returns drilled out, valve seat job, supertech springs, retainers, seals, seats.

The hks cams are in, hks manifold is on with a tial wasgegate and the greddy inlet manifold is on. Just waiting on a tomei headgasket to arrive.

Painted the cam covers blue with some left over paint.

Today i fitted a rear oil feed restrictor, blocked off the middle oil feed and fitted some arp head studs to the block.

Also fitted a surge tank with an 044 and wired that up with a relay straight of the battery.

Put the powerfc in and put the blitz dscb spec r in but havent wired it up yet.

Once the headgasket gets in, i'll fit the head, wack on the 3076 and take it in to get tuned on e85.

The car is also on stands as i just sold the te37sl's, and am getting some AME tracers and hankook z221's

So over the last week got the head back on with a new tomei hg and arp studs, fitted up the 3076 which was a pain(had to grind away some of the engine mount), manifolds all one.

THEN........i put oil back in, put coolant in......AND.........coolant started pissing out. Right away, before i even got a chance to try and start the thing.

Had as best a look as i could and there is a full on stream pissing out from the rear welsh plug.

So I am really depressed at the moment, whole week of work for nothing, and as i start work again next week i wont have any time to rip EVERYTHING off again, so probably going to go drop it in to someone.....arghhhhhh

yeah that's a bitch!

i'd be interested to know what valve seats you put in and what valve spring seat pressure your running.

wing and canards look phat, when you re-registered the car as a 2 seater, i assume you had to produce a roadworthy? how ever did you manage to get that wing passed?

i have an rb25 block if your still going that way.

also, doing an rb30 bottom end for the first time so would be happy to collaborate with others who will actually do one and use it on the track.

    • I had a similar situation with my R32 GTS4. I replaced that solenoid, but it hasn't solved the problem. So its possible the pump is failing. It seems you need to drop the diff in order to do anything that might fix this. So its important to know exactly what the problem is. Or just replace / repair everything while the diff is out.
    • Yep, I was supprised. Its all about flow rather then housing size.  Doing G35-900 Vs ATR45SS-1 Next. 62mm V 61mm. 
    • Of course sometimes you cannot go with the cheaper alternative but I try to weigh it up for the application - am I competing or am I going to the track ten times p/yr. As long as there’s enough information out there to back the cheaper alternative as a good option I’ll go for that.   I’m a bit of a bastard though as it’s my job to reduce costs, particularly on non income generating assets. EUR 500 saved for the diff + EUR 1,000 saved on BC racing over Bilstein and then say EUR 300 versus EUR 600 on an off brand windscreen versus OEM (for example) soon accumulates. I mean, I’m probably gonna put the car in the ditch anyway. Absolutely do not take this as a justification for always buying cheap shitty parts, just a rationale for doing your research and considering what’s necessary for your application.    
    • All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.
    • Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
