Hey all, I'm new to this forum and sau.

I joined to attended track day events in the near future when my project cars done. I am currently building a Nissan s14 st20det (I know it's not a skyline ) I am building it for circuit, at this stage I am unsure how to post pictures, when I work it out I will post some

Cheers

So I worked it out haha, wasn't that hard in the end,

This is my build, everything single thing done to the car is done at home, including building the motor(other then machining)

Except for the diff witch I thought would be a good idea to send out and get built by a pro,this was the first time I ever went to a mechcanic and it's the last, I got the diff back, checked it and it was completely out of tolerances. Sent it back, still not perfect. Next time il be building the diff my self like I have in the past.

Basically building the car from ground up, every single bush has been replaced. basicaly every single bit in the drive line will be new.

Let me know what you think

Cheers

I like it. I agree diy for the win. I rarely pay mechanics to do anything either. What size is the turbs is that the arms 7960 or 8270? Did you also remove the vct? What cams?

yeah exactly, I went with the m8270 with pon cams and yeah I removed the vct, I didn't really want to but I didn't want to pay 600 for a new vct gear because my original one was stuffed, and I'm running double row valve springs so I don't think a new vct would last very long, ( I can't stand vct tick even though it's safe, that noise just makes me cringe lol)

Fair enough. That should make pretty decent top end power. Good luck with it and hope you get it finished soon. See you on the track[emoji106]

Cheers mate, it's already taken me a year to get to this point, but I've decided to get my ass into gear and set a goal to have it done for an event in the next few months, not sure witch one yet though. [emoji1305]

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
