Hey guys im still pretty new to all of the high performance stuff and I really dont have thousands of dollars to blow

on a shiny looking engine bay but im obsessed with turbo cars and to me if it aint turbo its just not a performace car.

Because I dont have a shit load of money to blow my build will be done as cheaply as possible, yet still having the correct gear in the car

to make her fly on the track.

I started with a goal in mind of doing 1:10 at mallala in SA, as i was told by a few people it wasnt possible unless i had like 50k to spend on a car

BS i told em ive had a 1:28 in a interga with a type R engine and mild suspention and brake work, so i only need to wipe off 18 seconds

and i believe it can be done with a budget of 10k. They also said the hardest car to do it in would be an aus del R31.....so thats exactly what i went out and bought lol :laugh:

and so the journey begins, i needed a 31 with some work already done so i could spend more on the handling side than the engine side,

I looked for a WHOLE SOLID HOUR lol, before i saw this bucket for sale

Be interesting to see what you have planned and how far you can get....

Yep roy they do:

http://mallala.com/information-2/lap-records/

I dont know how up to date they are with their website though.

Please dont take this as criticism, more of an observation. You should possibly think about a different form of

motor sport (all out time attack might not be for this project) or a different platform in which to start.

I wish you all the best in your endeavours.

WOW! ok im abit confused as to y some of those times are over 1:30? ive done 1:30 in my brothers corolla with an NA 20valve in it, ill chase him up for the video!

ive also had 1:28 in an integra gsi with a NA Type R motor

so my thinking was i could shave off those extra seconds with a high horespowered turbo car? or maybe this is gonna be harder than i thought lol

well i will be going nuts with handling too so i hope i really can get there

few more photos of it im tossing up the idea of transplanting the engine into a S14 but i feel more determined to do this with the 31 now.

ok so to strart with I found a 31 with a load of goodies already in

they consist of

Rebuilt by Phil Collier himself, at Collier engines in Adelaide

Forged pistons, standard size (forgot brand ROSS i think?)

ACL race series bearings

450cc injectors

nisstune computer

adjustable fuel reg

front mount cooler

multi layered steel head gasket

decked block

full balance

bored out throttle body

turbo cam

3 inch mandrel bend turbo back exhaust with high flow cat, custom dump all 3 inch

lightened fly wheel

external waste gate

garret to4e top mount turbo

ported head, 3 angle valve job

clutch was slipping cause it wasnt the right pressure plate, and it needs a Z32 to run properly so a real project it is lol

So the first thing I did to anticipate abit longer lasting driveline was get a clutch made by Keith from KB Clutch Engineering, its a 5 puk ceramic clutch capable of taking 350KW ATW

Here it is!!!!

And here it is on the 31 now

IMG_0048478x640.jpg

IMG_0049478x640.jpg

saving up to get a 25 gearbox so i chucked a RB20 box just to get her moving around

IMG_0050478x640.jpg

ok so over the weekend i started to check for rust and striping the interior out

IMG_0056640x478.jpgIMG_0056640x478.jpg

IMG_0054640x478.jpgIMG_0053640x478.jpg

IMG_0052640x478.jpgIMG_0051640x478.jpg

was a crap job to do but it needs to be done! and best of all NO RUST!!!! WTH a car older than me with no rust? i was so dam happy lol

Ive found an s13 5 stud front susp conversion i want put in the 31 but she has developed some kind of oil problem today so i might put that on hold for now and look into a better oil pump, crank collar ect ect before i start on the handling side of things

will update on the weekend

Edited by mungy

lol, goodluck with that. Ill assume you dont drive Mallala too often then

you of little faith, even if i dont get 1:10 it will be close, and ill personally put the egg on your face if i manage it lol :domokun:

Be interesting to see what you have planned and how far you can get....

im cash poor because i have a kid on the way so the complete build will take at least 1 year, but when its done i promise she will not dissapoint

the plans I have for the handling side are going to be the most important and im currently looking into IRS rear end with the help of a good mate building his own monster

IRS will require cutting and fab work but i think the results will be well worth the effort

if you want IRS etc why not just start with a 32 or 33 GTST shell? if it's only a track car you could get a pretty decent 32 GTST or 33 GTST non-registerable shell for not much coin.

Very true and i have found a track only 32 shell, but the reason i chose the 31 is because people say it cant be done, well i say with the right mix of power and handling it can!

every car has the potential just have to find what works for each car.

kitto 1:21.89 (30ET Aus 4 door)

I believe Kittos time was done with a 200kw RB20DET with semi slicks at skyline nationals. But i could be wrong.

Good luck i will be watching this thread. Deffs need abit of chassie strength so maybe a rollcage and extra bracing.

aaaah good point i havnt even thought about the chassi :thanks:

thats an awesome time, honestly with my budget if i come close to a time like that ill be really happy.

anyone know where to find a cage for a 31 lol?

Ive been looking into a custom built one, ive never seen the design before but it looks promising

it seems to go from the top left of the suspention tower on the front... into the cabin, then crosses over to the rear right side of the car and vise versa for the other side

then it looks like it braces the rear quite well too, ill try n draw a picture of it and post it up lol, but im crap at drawing so dont shoot me when its up.

I'd be looking at a goal of 1'20 TBH. Like above, 500kw R32 GT-R running close enough to 1'13 and its only got a half cage and full interior so you've got a long journey ahead of you. But all the best.

P.s - Brad Trentworth just got the T.A Philcom Lap record last week with a 1'11 something in his RX-7. Just afew cars you'll be up against.

Nice ambition, but for $10k you will struggle to crack a 1:20. I am willing to bet serious coin that you never crack a 1:15 within your $10k budget, if at all. Hope this motivates you more, but you are dreaming :D

And by 'just shaving 18 seconds off your old lap' in the Honda is like the difference between doing a 13 second quarter mile and an 10 second quarter mile.

Greg Murphy holds the lap record for V8 supercar around lala at 1:08. Martin Donnon has shot a fairly out of the box evo X to 1:15 and STi to 1:16. Keir has sent his 35 GTR with a mansion-load of development around for a 1:11. Good luck!

PS: Mallala is mostly about handling and braking, what have you got planned in the brake region?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
