shame, targa tom just sold a very well prepped 32.

my105 is the place to go for prepared race cars, but the fact is most cars that are "for sale" are sitting in a garage somewhere and noone knows about them.

If you want to build it yourself, rally import from japan is the way to go, you can get hold of just about anything dirt cheap - and then spend 2-3 times your purchase price on getting it up to scratch.

That is a very large pic.

I'm not serious but would be intersted to know what you think it will go for.

Might be another year or two before I get a dedicated track car.

Sadly there is no where to hook up a tow bar on the R34.

I've always loved the concept of being able to take the tow car out if the track bitch dies at an inoportune time.

Im thinking 18k would buy you a quick R32 or R33 GTSt. Get it on Rally plates and keep the engine pretty std, just completely gut the car and get it down to 1100-1150kgs.

Outside of that your probably best decide on what sort of car your after then ringing up Car Clubs listed on the CAMS website. Often the good buys arent advertised, just sold off within clubs

You might find it to be a good idea to have a track car that has the same sort of driving/handling charateristics as your road car, this maens that when you jump into it at the track, you get back in sync with the car quicker.

I am also looking for a Tarmac race car.

I was hoping to get a fully race preped GT type car from japan as I would expect they would be cheap and well setup.

Does anyone know places in japan that offer these types of cars for sale ?

I already have a CAMS license, so I can import a FIA approved car on Race & Rally rules.

Thanks

you can import a Evo VII these days for under 30K on road including compliance, an early R33 GTSt will set you back 10k on the road... and that's under the regular SEVS import scheme, so it'll be cheaper as a race import.

If you want give me a budget and minimal requirements and I'll fish out some potential race imports for ya.

We just brought in an STi as a race import a couple of weeks ago... don't really list em up on the website unless something special comes up... like this R33 for example. We only look for race imports on request only as you can import nearly any car that is FIA approved (or permitted by CAMS in a motorsport they sanction).

My budget is $20k for a full race spec car. I do not think I am unrealistic in my expectations. I think that a race prepped RWD car from japan could easily be aquired for that money. I have a further $10k to spend on spares and anything that needs fixing.

I have also seen EVO6's going in race trim (rally) for $20k FOB.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
