Also very interested in the undercar surge you have made brad, looks the goods. Does it tuck up under there nice and high ie. away from harm and is it suitable for a street driven vehicle, and is this same tank/design suitable for a GTR.

Thanks in advance, Allan

The R33 surge tanks suit GTsT and GTR. They won't fit properly into a 4 door r33 though.

They don't hang any lower than the chassis rails.

Some of the larger "race" versions are about 10mm lower than the chassis rails which is how they gain some capacity.

Never had one hit the circuit or ripple strips etc.

talk neil into being the gineau pig. cheryl needs a surge tank to deal with those 150 mighty kw.

Brad,,,rule my car out as the guinea pig,,,Cheryl needs nothing in the fuel dept at the moment. Control your self Handley,,,we are not turning her into a 300kw plus car just yet.

Cheers

Neil.

Dammit.

Alan, I never would have fitted an undercar surge tank to the rally car unless I was 100% happy about how far it sits above the chassis rail. Anything that hits the tank is going to bash a lot of other bits firs

Just checking duncan :) Best to ask the questions, as the ones you dont ask are the ones that bite you :) Brad, if you wouldnt mind, and if you have the time, can you please PM me a rough cost for one of these undercar surge tanks with a pierburg and barb fittings and also a cost for an extended sump with windage/baffles we were talking about earlier. Im happy to do exchange or to send you my unit as the car is in a million bits for the next few months.

Thanks in advance, Allan

Finished off one of the R34 combined overflow/catch can units.

I've managed to utilize the original battery clamp location and weld on a machined pin that locates the tank.

A simple bracket and bolt secures it into an original hole, no drilling required.

I'll post up photos of it tomorrow when I get time.

Sump has left already mike, it went this week so I'd expect it to arrive today or Tuesday.

I put the fittings in a separate bag so they didn't get damaged. Just be sure to clean the inside Before it fitted. They get washed here but Another wash won't hurt it.

This is one of the R34 combination catch cans. Its a radiator overflow and catch can built into one unit.

Catch can is baffled and at the customers request has a 3rd fitting to vent back into the intake as opposed to atmosphere.

Also have one R32 GTR/GTsT infront of battery location catch can left that has 2x -12an fittings welded onto it.

Its $180 inc postage if anyone is after one cheap. Its been sitting around the customer fell off the face of the earth so might as well sell it.

A few hours was taken to put a basic CDS cage into a DC2 type R for Tony the marketing manager at wakefield park.

Nice tight fit with basic intrusion bars to make it easy for him to use.

Has been a couple of weeks since we did a full cage ( put a few off due to alloy fab orders needing to be cleared out)

We also dragged prestige motorsports Time attack S15 out of the corner today. Ill put up a few photos of that latter. It turned into a full house build with carbon suspension and loads of fabrication work.

Couple of cars to clear out next week (AWD R31, STI Andra cage and a 120Y E85 conversion) as well as the S15.

Opening back up for 2012 tomorrow. A couple of new things happening straight up.

A good fabricator and mate of mine is joining us for a while to help out with the prep work and design work

Also a new project is beginning. An idea that's been floating around for a while is to fabricate fuel tank extensions to actually bolt to the factory R32,r33 and r34 fuel tanks. The idea is to have internal pumps with a float type baffle plate that's entirely sealed inside the fuel tank. The extension will act as a surge tank that's self feeding being a part of the main tank.

We've been racing GTR's and nissans for a long time now, everything we sell has been race proven multiple times over so these new components will be no different. Testing prior to sale is paramount.

The old undercar surges were tried and tested so these will hopefully raise the bar a little higher and make things a bit more compact for the circuit guys.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
