S13 Sprint/Time Attack Style Build

[No Crust Racing]

This is a running joke with my mates actually, that I'm a drifter. 

I hate flat brim caps, not a fan of drifting/drifters and at the last event I did a little slide and managed to not f**k it up so now I'm a drifter apparently lol

The drifting community, the bad elements, ruined a lot of what was good about the JDM "scene" if you want to call it that. Also gutted the prices for cars/parts (good and bad depending if you're buying/selling) and was far too representative of the dumbass yolo concept. 

I've found some of them are OK, and funnily enough the ones that are usually grip drive also. 

I do love me some rice, but I'm fairly anti drift/drifters. It's the only "motorsport" that's judged by anything other than measurable numbers. I fully admit there's lots of skill in doing it well and that I do not have, nor will ever have, nor want, that skill, but I can appreciate it when I see it.

#flatbrimdan lol

Japanese drift and live by yolo.

But they wear coveralls and crocs while doing it.

I'm all about those Tsukuba laps 

[Anfanee]

If you ever get sick of not using the Silvia for it's real purpose, that is drifting, i would be happy to give you $50 for it. 

[No Crust Racing]

A mate of mine is 1st in line to buy it, but honestly, I only "lose" what I've spent on it if I sell it so I might as well just keep enjoying the R&D that's gone into it. 

I'd say the GT-R will be sold before this. 

[Anfanee]

in that case $50 for the GTR.

 

Maybe $100 depending condition of paint. 

[No Crust Racing]

I have some parts from both you can buy if you like, or is this just about getting closer to me? xox

[Anfanee]

nah closer to that sexy 34

"Do YOU come with the car?"

[Anfanee]

haha

Been slowly making progress.

Borrowed guard roller and lined up panel beater for this weekend.

Come across a near new GTX2860R, only a Kinugawa. Would have preferred 2863 but this was half price. Has a T3 vband rear on it so if anyone wants to swap me for a T2 standard 5 bolt housing let me know.

Been looking at WMI as well, blame DosePipe for that. I don't wanna move the Silvia to e85 and WMI will get me most of the result while not needing to change my fuel setup beyond a small bump in injectors to support the bigger turbo.

Wouldn't mind building a setup but don't see how you save much on the average kit costs. Thoughts welcome.

Did consider I could've bought a 2863 for the price of WMI and 2860 but I wouldn't get the benefit of the additional timing or cooler temps.

See how I go on the WMI front, still on the fence.

Still meaning to buy a helmet and Hans but bought turbo instead... Woops!

Buy in a complete water injection kit.  Will save a LOT of hunting around for the right bits.  Yes the benefits are there to be had, and they're worth taking.

HANS should probably have taken a higher priority in the purchases stakes, but there's nothing to stop you getting a setup before taking this thing for its next run.

[Hadouken]

Is it time to drop budget build? No diy guard rolling to save cost. Tsk tsk.

[No Crust Racing]

Yeah will still get a Hans, especially with this huge turbo upgrade that might see me into the low 200rwkw range lol

Not rolling the guards is a back saving measure. I'm off to the specialist in October to see what we can do there. 

Rolling guards was not in my best interest and for $150, worth saving a few hours of my weekend 

[No Crust Racing]

We'll illness ruined plans this weekend.

Neighbour is sick so he won't be doing guards.

I've come down with what the girls had, so happy father's day to me.

Got a the EBC in yesterday before I got hit. Very simple install.

Not hooked up to wastegate actuator yet as I'm planning on going external with the new turbo.

[No Crust Racing]

Guard rolling was a fail, need to go too far out. 

Looking at something slimline like this, unless someone has a better 20-25mm or so option that doesn't require a full quarter replacement.

Turbo here this week, but no rush on fitting as i wanna get tyres on and go do laps. 

 

[No Crust Racing]

Get around china's finest. 

Ordered some of those 30mm flares. Long wait for them though, couldn't find anything locally. 

Tinkering away on the some other bits and pieces. 

 

[R_34]

2860 or 63 ?

[No Crust Racing]

Just a 60, it was half price and new so couldn't pass it up given I almost never see any gtx stuff second hand, let alone new fit second hand prices.

I need to deal the rear housing as its T3 and v band.

So if anyone has a T2 .64 standard 5 bolt dump let me know.
