Russman's Time Attack Build

Wow.

Yeah it has been a long time since an update in this thread.

It's been laid up for a while. Sitting on stands and collecting dust. The last 2 years of my life has been a case of home renovations and getting married. The 32 went on the back burner.

After Campbell crashed it in June 2013 the only event it did was SAU Nationals in SA. I actually won the motorsport side of the event which I was pretty happy with.

Only change to the car was a new front bar and diffuser. I also fitted an Accusump oil accumulator under the dash to fix oil surge problems. Despite having a winged and baffled sump it still needed it.

After that event, my mate grabbed the diff for his car and it's not moved at all since. Currently the rear subframe is out of it ready for an R33 subframe and GTR diff and shafts. Hoping to get it ready for SAU nats this year and I need to get back to PI coz I haven't had a decent crack at it in it's current form.

I've attached some pics from 2013 SAU nats at Mallala and Collingrove hill climb.

Quite proud of the time I did at Mallala considering it was my first time. 1:14.63. Don't know of any other 2wd skylines that have done a time faster than that.

Haha we'll see, I'll be happy with a Deca and 1 x track day this year! Not sure about WTAC 2017, my times in 2012 would still get me 20th in Open class haha. Might be able to get it down to the 1:36's without too much work but I think Vic time attack and some SAU rounds would be good enough of a comeback.

Gee it's been a long time since I've logged in to SAU forums. Basically I did a motorkhana in Nov 2016 and blew 3rd gear. Wheeled it back into the shed and I haven't touched it since! I have all the bits to fix it but not time, I'll get to it....

Pulled the gearbox apart and what a mess! That's what 'clicking 3rd' with hot 295 AO50's will do to a 33 gearbox!

With some bits purchased from another donor box and help from Donny at Forced Motorworx, I have a gearbox again... It'll go back into the car soon and work on hitting the track again. Can't believe it's been another 2 years since I've driven it! Time flies!

I've also moved house and have my own shed, because of this I don't have a hoist anymore. Back to changing gearboxes on the floor...IMG_5551.thumb.JPG.f46d10f37b57fcfa7ecaa83a54e2c978.JPG

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
