Well I just picked up GTS1 SVD #157 and I must say ...I had almost forgotten how much fun these cars are. I sold these new back in 1988 and the way they drove then left a lasting impression on me.

Technically this is the wifes new drive car as she wanted to quit the Hyundai Lantra wagon. She claims it leaves her feeling brain dead which I understand perfectly :O Anyhow ...expect to see Cambo and I rock up with it at the next cruise ...I don't need much of an excuse to strap this baby on :P

Not sure if we will make it to the drags this Sunday but we will try. Does anyone have any idea how long the lane is booked for ? Like will people still be there at 2 or 3 PM ??

ps. Anyone want to buy a Lantra wagon ?? It holds lots of stuff and doesn't drink very much :)

The day finishes at 4pm, starts at Noon.

Last entries to race are at 3pm.

I'm only takin my Pintara wagon and will probably only do 2 or 3 passes so I doubt I'll still be there...

If you could be there at 2 there should be plenty happening, by 3pm things will be winding down a bit;)

For those that like to see pictures ....well here are a couple that I have taken today. You will see that the previous owner hacked up the front grill (i'll strangle him) because if was getting too hot idling in traffic with the air/con on. He didn't think to replace the viscious coupling fan clutch which is stuffed.

The guy was asking $9000 but I didn't think it was worth that. I wont say what I paid but I expect that if I put it on the market here in Perth I would get somewhere between $7000 and $8000 as it is.

The drive line is pretty strong with only a few minor problems. The interior is also above average condition with only a couble of blemishes. The body work is above average condition but I am planning to give it a coat of paint and sort a couple of ripples and minor blemishes out.

I really want to get rid of that hacked up grill as well ...it annoys me :P

Shit yeah he hacked up the grille alright!!....iiiidiot

I got this bit of info once as I was lookin for one........If you buy one let me know I might grab one as well.......discount for 2 :D

"ring ml wreckers the link is on the top of our web page (r31skylineclub) speak to max he can put you in contact with the guy who has the mould and sells them"

22nd June would be nice. Hopefully I will have some better quality tires by then. My wife is keen to have a go at the quarter mile so I don't think having the GTS step out sideways on her would NOT be a good idea.

Cam is not quite ready to take the GTS down the strip ...maybe later in the year after I have taught him how to launch and how to drive fast without destroying the car.etc.

My daughter pointed that one out to me in the Auto Trader as she knows I want another one. Unfortunately building a new house plus garage is full ATM.

Having said that if anyone sees #101 I want it back for a full restoration:)

Cheers

Hey R34 ...my garage is worse than full ...its spilling out onto the street. Last count we got 5 cars here. I need to sell the Lantra wagon bad ...its such a pain shifting these cars about LOL However I just couldn't resist the GTS ...I have wanted one of these forever and the price was right.

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
