Just want to see what sort of Track/Race/Rally Skylines are around. Throw up some spec's if you want.

No streeters please.

This is my budjet build club rally car, setup for gravel and tarmac. -Just running a stock RB20DE until I build up another unit with some power. It's got adustable suspension, 6 point cage, harnesses etc and is fully race and road legal for around $6K NZ.

mine's not a skyline, but it goes ok :D

It's a budget 100% backyard build, using mostly various types of leftover factory Nissan parts from different models.

SR20DE

Did 1:09 flat at Wakefield, (which I am hoping to beat on Saturday) and should be well under my previous 1:54.8 at Eastern Creek in a couple of weeks.

It's currently road registered, but won't be for a whole lot longer. I'm planning to run in Improved Production next year if all goes according to plan.

Ah goodie was about to create a thread like this myself, the more pics the better from any angle of any car as im getting ideas for my current build.

I damaged my r32 gtr drag racing so I bought another street gtr and have decided to keep this damaged 1 as my dedicated circuit car. So far im only in the process of stripping it down (prob another week or so of that) then I need to weld up the damage, paint the interior, boot and engine bay and get some and then start assembling it again.

Nothing exciting but here are some pics of where im at so far:

Hopefully it's back on the road by Xmas time.

Heres my shitter...

Most of you know it, Blown VH45 Powered 33 on methanol, full andra cage ran 10.17 to date on stock internals, new engine is a few weeks from completion hoping for some good 9's out of it.

well credit to Louie at Xclusive colour for the paint job - we asked him for something that would stand out.....

but the stickers are crazy....Kel designed and cut them on a $600 ebay special vinyl cutter

how much was spent?

I believe its gotten so high now that we dont keep track.......if you dont think about it, you cant lose sleep over it.

House in the country.....i was thinking more along the lines of a nice apartment in the city :D

Does yours go simon? Ours goes when its not bogged down with problems.

    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
