R33 farmcar. Who like's no-fuks-given builds?

Gday Blokes

This will be for the boys who enjoy backyard crap, not full blown nice builds.

So we have a farm, that farm has a race track and each year we run a few events and buy shit cars to race, now if your quick you can pickup a few imports cheap...last year i went out with a stock sr20det 180sx that i later turned into a full drift build......a few months ago I picked up a crashed and shit R33 skyline.

The car was pretty molested and shit, after tidying up lots of things I tried to get it started......long story short it had been sitting over 5 years in the weather and the engine was full of water/rust and all sorts of bad crap....i measured 0 compression on cyl 1 and 2 - then gave up testing.

* rusted fuel pump / replaced with a spare walbro had sitting around. the fuel in the tank has melted all the seals and gone off.

Installed a r32 rad i had lying around, had to remake the bottom mounts, make it sit higher + different rubber mounts type.

Installed an intercooler on the front reo bar

What ran across the track at 20 sec mark - is that a sheep?

Yeah the paddock is full of sheep...they usually all run away when we come down but this one was a little late to the party. 

Thats not the whole track btw, that's just the "short track" its split-up so you can race two cars at the same time. (crosses over, so you do long, then short, or if your on the other side short then long)

a few of the guys have made videos of our adventures over the years...next weekend will be the weekend for racing and im pretty excited to thrash the skyline for 4 days :)

the much awaited update! well maybe not much awaited, but an update non the less.

 

the first day was a 40deg day and the skyline was boiling the coolant...dident help that i dont have a fan shroud installed.

Installed a thermo fan on the radiator (from one of the dead cars parts stack) wired that into the headlight loom, because dont have headlights.

after that the temps stayed under control.

 

The exhaust was trying really hard to melt the loom on the first day, so i built a heat shield and covered it in the heat tape.

 

replaced the hicas with a lock-bar

 

car ran great all weekend! here is some pics.
