Hey all, i'm new to this forum and relatively new in the Sky land...

My project consist in a Skyline HCR32 (GTS-t) '93 with few modifications.

Maybe the bigger one was de LHD conversion.

I bougth it close to stock, just spoiler removed and front strut bar.

Others mods made after that are:

- Hicas removed

- Front mounted IC

- Apexi+custom CAI

- Turbo upgrade GT2060RS (with ATP T3 turbine housing)

- Greddy profect e01 boost controller

- JIC coilovers

- Work Meister S1 17"

This car is Trackday and rides oriented, but other uses are not discarded (like drift).

ok right, stop boring you with my poor english and share some pics... (edit: i'think can't attach files yet...)

About two month after rising boost up to 1 bar (knowing the possible consequences), i get blue smoke everywhere...

So, looking here and there for best turbo upgrade option (here don't have many), finally i bought a Garrett GT2860RS with ATP T3 exhaust housing (which have 5-bolt ford pattern flange) and an adapter 5-bolt -> V-Band with internal wastegate port.

This way i can keep the exhaust manifold and just fabricate the downpipe. But in the future i'm thinking run an external wg setup.

Then i reuse the original wastegate valve...

Bought a whater&oil line kit for this turbo & RB20

And the downpipe fabrication...

I can provide any details (or more pics) about this upgrade, just ask :)

Thanks mate!

Yes, very unsafe, without the bar it flex a lot, i think in a crash will oppose force at all. So you are right, the cage (with lateral bars) is a must, but here is not too easy to find a P&P one (if not impossible), and cage makers are barely existent (and good)... this is a small country too far from the rest of the world ! but i'm on that...

I have not had a chance to weigh it up yet, but i think that will be close to 10Kg with the polycarbonate.

BTW, this are spare doors, so i will keep the originals intact ;-)

In Australia our racing is organised by CAMS.

They set all the rules ans regulations, they have the requirements of roll cages on their web site.

If you can weld well, maybe you could make your own, and use the guide to make a safe cage.

So far so looking good :)

I will reuse from rb20 the ecu (nistuned), harness (except injectors). and spark coils / ignitor...

Re-routing the water to bypass the heater...

In every forum i've seen, ppl just eliminate the heater making a bypass between the two hoses that go through the firewall. But in that way, the water will pass through it and not through the cooler (the easiest way). I think forcing the water pass only through the oil cooler is a better way and more similar to the oem flow design.

post-118185-0-57680700-1401739418_thumb.jpg

Another wired idea: reusing the oem cross pipe with the front face intake :-|

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
