Yeah I seen his build years back what he is selling it for is pretty cheap for what he wants.

Budget would be what ever the parts costs can build engine tune it on the dyno weld up a cage and do all the work

The problem is anything quick in Time Attack wont be legal to run in IPRA or Prod Sports or Targa tas etc

anything turbo in IPRA costs Squillions to even make the top 10 of a state round.

If you ask me I can't justify spending $200k on a car that will be used once a year and needs the likes of John Boston/Tarzan Yamada to be driven quick.

But if thats what you want then an EVO is the only real choice for time attack stuff (you don't want to know how much has been spent on the Cusco WRX)

The more I look into it following the trend with an evo seems to be the only option to tick all boxes.

Even if you didn't race the car in ipra the car would be built for it.

Did some research on increasing a 4g63 capacity and found some nice info on bringing them out to 2.6 with a BC kit and a 4g64 block.

Evo 5 are pretty cheap these days as well.

Yeah it's a bit disappointing the cusco wrx and it's numbers.

Will have to upgrade the dyno to awd tho with an evo

What about an S-Chassis with AWD. Say S14 with GTR running gear!

Didn't FullRace build one in the USA for time attack? Interesting to hear how it went against EVO's and the like.

Just as heavy as a GTR

Then go full house S-Chassis with SR23VET simliar to Scorch S15.

I still think it didn't go close to it's potential at this years event. Plenty more to come and was fastest Nissan there.

Added piccy cause everyone loves looking at hot nissan racecars!!!

If you want to be competitive in Superlap, you need to get this idea completely out of your head, unless you're thinking of Clubsprint class.

Hard to take you seriously if you think that's a good idea, if you want AWD it makes sense in every way to stay with a factory AWD.

Well the rules say, "must retain standard shock tower", says nothing about using them.

Seriously, I'm curious as to what the prize money for winning Superlap/WTAC is outright?

Would it be more than winning an Aust. Champ Sports Sedan Championship? Do they have prize money?

Do sports sedans even have prize money State or National level?

Maybe it's for no money, and just for the glory....

I'm also starting to lean to an S chassis as well considering how well they went as well.

The main thing would be to try get it nice and low in its curb weight and enough power.

Would like to run a vh45 in it been in the process of building a sc kit with a m122 would give nice low down drive out and if what people are saying they weigh they are about 150 pounds lighter then an RB if the weights are correct

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
