The fine upstanding folk down in SAU VIC decided I needed to get one, many thanks to Roy for pushing me into it. The car is just something held together by zip ties and race tape... just some odds and ends I had sitting around in the garage slapped together. I'm really after the Dalek look, Dr. Who is making a comeback some day.

well your doing a sterling job replicating the original theme!!

INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT..EXXXTEEERRRMIINNAAAATE THEEEM!

that huffer would take about a minute to spool up yeah? would suck in peak hour i reckon.

Quick peek at the deathtrap I've been building up for the past few years. Do you think I can run it in Improved Production? I have a CAMS license now.

now we're talking! looks awesome, improved production for sure. not sure how well that turbo would run with a 32mm restrictor in front of it... i don't have my measuring tape on me but it looks like that compressor inlet may be a few mm bigger than 32mm.

now get it out there doughy.

It takes around 6-8 seconds to hit peak boost, biggest problem is going to be windows cracking from chassis twist.

hahahah, faaaaaark! ;)

6 to 8 seconds... i bet itd sound like a jet engine ..vvvvVVVVVVVVwwwooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHHH

The body of the compressor wheel (behind the nut) is 32mm, surely that rule can be constructively interpreted? Actually there are going to be alot of problems running this combination in this Skyline chassis, trying to address them all before running it but there aren't too many cars in Aus running a similar combination. Have redone nearly everything several times, one of the reasons why it has taken so long to get to this stage - and it needs to go back for more chassis work after I get it running.

Yes it's a V8, similar to the 5L motor found in many a Ford ute/grocery getter/garbage truck.

and how exactly will the car be drivable if it takes so long to spool up? And THAT in race conditions? So its a V8..with a truck turbo attached to it..youd have massive torque from the V8 and the turbo is quietly doing its thing when suddenly and unexpectedly, mid corner mind you, full boost is reached and youre spat off the road faster than you can blink..

not actually whats going to happen mind you but that was the crazy vision that popped into my head just now thinking about what your car would be like to drive.. :sorcerer:

When I was a young lad, dad owned a Ford Sierra XR6 in South Africa (you guys dont get them here... think cossworth...)

anyway, due due some engine problems (read: dad killed engine with NOS) it got replaced with a small block chevvy,

old engine but yeah was awesome car

dad's wasn't a race but but this is sorta what they look like:

lol, you are a funny guy dough boy. I didn't think heads and intake like that were standard ford issue, but then again I'm not a ford afficionado...

as for 6 seconds to hit peak boost I think 1. dough boy is tugging your leg a little m3gtr. and 2. that is what staging is for... boost mid corner is not a problem there's only one to worry about and it's most definately taken off boost!

I just want to hear it.

well for some reason, i thought the application was for the track..

now it turns out its drag so i digress. Its too big a turbo to be for the track anyways..theres no way itd be drivable...no way on Gods green earth.

still, id be very happy to see how it all turns out.

How long exactly will it take to complete mr doughnut?

and more precisely just what are you expecting of it?

Should be finished by the end of the year, as for performance expectations check the video link and see the comments I made about it in previous post. It's going to be alot of work dialing everything in, but the potential is there.

I could run the car without turbo (basically a larger capacity group A touring car motor) for around 800hp, and actually might do that on shakedown passes to get a feel for the car. But have another R33 for circuit.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
