Hey guys and girls!

Thought i'd chime in and say hi. My names Drew. used to be on here under another user name but had problems with it so decided to make a new one seeing as I've found my way back into a skyline after a couple of years toying around in a little MR2.

Here is my new 32 Gtst. Its very basic. Coilovers, kinugawa turbo, full exhaust and lots of little things taken care of. Have only had it almost 3 months now but about 2 weeks after getting my hands on it a few friends managed to convince me to enter NSW Time Attack at Wakefield. So a quick chat with my dad (read: Crew Chief) and it was all systems go! Installed an oil cooler for good measure. Grabbed some new rims, CST Hyper Zero's in 18x9.5 +15 all round and chucked some 255/35 RSR's on. Then off we headed for 2 days of track time. We decided that instead of going out with the mindset of 'I need to win' I should think about nothing more than getting on track in the new car and having as much fun as possible while doing it. In my little N/A MR2 my best time round Wakefield was a 1:14.5. By the end of day 2 at time attack i'd managed a 1:11.1 so came away extremely happy with my new PB.

Anyway, enough of me rambling. here's some picks of my new toy and also one of mine and dads cars together. He's got a 32 Gts that I gave him a couple of years back. 220,000km on the clock and it just soaks up the track days with no issues at all.

Thanks for reading. Hope to catch up soon.

Thanks guys :)

Looks impressive man. Wish my dad had the same passion for cars :(

What wing is that?

Wing is a genuine C-West adjustable twin blade. Managed to pick it up for $50 lol. Dad had a spare bootlid with the holes welded up so we mounted the wing to that and i just swap bootlids when i head to the track.

1:11s in damn impressive on rsr's.

quite a tidy car

Thanks :) I'm a big fan of the rsr's. I'm confident i can dip into the 1:10's in the next track day or 2. Was so close at time attack. Forgot to mention the car only has about 195rwkw :D

Nice, Ive got some RSR's to go on my boat

But less tyre and more weight mean 1:14s are my target

I saw that you're thinking about front splitter/undertray options, any luck with that? Me and dad are also starting to design something for the front end of my car to try and bring the times down a little more. Basically trying to keep my car in line with clubsprint time attack rules because i'll be back at NSW Time Attack next year and will also be looking to enter WTAC next year

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
