Big Congrats to Steve and the BC Automotive team, about time we got the GTR back on the podium. Very impressed with the result, I have finally decided to read your thread and I'm a few pages in and I'm liking what I see :yes:. I wish I could have made it to WTAC this year to have a look, and tow my GTR down for the Flying 500 but been so soon after Jambo didn't have time to get my shit sorted. What did your car end up weighing in at? mine is 1280KG no driver running very similar set-up to your car except I got half the interior still in it but I got 1200+hp ups its arse :) . Anyways congrats again keep up the good work looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

cheers benny, would have been great to see your car compete at the flying 500. congrats on the 8.39 super quick time also. Cars weighing 1278 without driver or fuel, we will be back next year running a 2 car gtr team.....in 2 different classes, can wait.

You stepping up in class? Or will it be club and open?

Nice... 2 cars = twice the headaches :woot: , I am also have another R32 GTR chassis on the way to turn into a hopefully a very low 7sec GTR 3/4 chassis drag car retiring the current one. I have also discussed with my team in using the current 8 sec R32 chassis to compete in either next years or 2015 WTAC. I am hoping of débuting my R32 with my mates R35 GTR (ex Mercury Motorsport Time Attack R35) at the same time flying the same banner. It won't take much to convert the drag car to time attack. The transmission and driveline are compatible, most of the suspension is done just need new coil overs, Got a brand new RB26 head and RB30 Block and Crank for its new 800HP Quick Response Setup. Just need some big brakes and a lil bit of Aero setup and Rollcage needs a few extra bars. Can't wait to start this project and set some new challenges and goals.

Sounds like a fun and busy year ahead for you, it's always great to set goals and even better when you achieve them. The more gtr's running the better, looks like the skylines will finally out number the evo's at world time attack as I see a trend happening.

Cars heading to phillip island next month to see if Deano can brake our 1.33.5. Hopefully with better conditions this time and a new set of tyres perhaps, it might just get into the 1.31's I'm hoping. Still needs a new set of suspension but will do for now.

What day are you going down for? PIARC? What about SAU nationals in SA? your time to take the wheel, even on low boost you'll smash everyone there haha

9th and 10th at the island and deans driving and maybe I'll take the wheel, and I'll be honest I'm still a crap driver and won't smash anyone til I learn the car. It's been over 2 years since I've driven the car properly and never at this power level so happy to take my time. Need to put the spare seat in and get some driver training I reckon.

So wtac is done for this year but still getting the car out there to develop it further as we're not in a rush anymore which is nice. Boys took the car to Philip island for the national supersprint championship. First day had clutch issues with the clutch clip popping out, so they drove back to the workshop to sort it and head back again the same night. Day 2 great results and a personal best for the team... 1st in class with a 1.33.3, I believe 4th outright just behind the radicals, on advan A050 used tyres, and officially the fastest gtr at phillip island on record that we know of. Top speed on the straight was 302.2km/h. The tyres are the limiting factor here as they were falling apart after a lap. Set of slicks and we reckon it might break the 1.30 lap time. I guess the only way to find out is try it. Still haven't updated the suspension, would be great if we can get some sponsors, Hint hint if your a suspension workshop by the name of bilstein, mca, koni, supashock feel free to email me as I'm happy to test your gear on my car :)

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
