N1GTR Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 no idea to be truthful the blue patrol is not mine it was just parked next to my car in the shop. Its a sand racer and 1300hp nissan patrol engine 1300hp RB30? DAMN!!!!! Whats it got inside as far as internals go? Also how do you stop the block from exploding?!?! Those sand races are awesome to watch my race machine, this was taken a few months before i banged it into that wall just behind it there in the picture.r32 gtr on the way. *drool* Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/177171-show-me-your-racing-machines/page/27/#findComment-3379722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedi Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) abit of a downgrade going to a gtr? race spec 600 hp gtr will be quicker and handle easier but be chaeaper to fix after a prang- (cost almost as much too), this tail happy bitch is the best car i ever fanged on a track though (its unchanged from factory and does 12.3's with no turbo), sounds awesome but cost a fortune when somethiong breaks and i broke lots of things. repair bill for current prang more than 100k.

Stupid Toyota Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 hey johnyou dont have time to be on here get back to fixing the head gasket!! come to think of it, i should be in the shed too! cheers russ LOL, Ive been busted... I'm taking my time with it I must admit. Barely touched it today, serviced the work ute instead. Looking into a few upgrades because it sounds like I might be chasing your times again with all the mods you've been making Might even start on a new engine for the car, for next year. Won't go for any more power initially as 2WD is pretty limiting currently. More like less weight, better distribution and bigger brakes.

Gts-t Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) sounds good. I will try some rear toe in, and some less caster. I get doug heasman to do it for me. he uses old school equipment. I too had massive problems with laser equipment not being even close to accurate. you put it on the machine 3 times and you get 3 different figures. I mean, they had a workshop fan and when it was on the force of that air onto the car made the alignment readings jump around. after I saw that I gave up on the laser machines and now only get doug to do it with his setsquares and dials. Ive had no problems with laser equipment at the bridgestone i use. I know the guy there as we send alot of business their way, and long story short do the spanner work under the car, watching the figures change untill im happy. I also have someone roughly 70kg sit in the driver seat for me while this is going on. On the printout you get it lists old alignment and the new. Every time i went back in to re adjust the alignments it had not changed at all from before. my final settings were(full sk package) camber front 2.0 neg each side castor max around 6 toe 2mm out each side camber rear 1.5 neg each side toe zero im pretty confident that if i went back now and put it on the laser gear it wouldnt have changed. Unless u hit a pot hole its really not going to change that much, it would have been six months since ive had one so ill have to get it back around there soon and see. crap stories aside, can someone show me a pic of these traction rods fitted to their 32 gtr? would love to find an improvement in my suspension alignment area and giant, your car is possibly the best looking 32 ive seen!!!!

phunky_monkey Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Car looks AWESOME Russ! The black TE's and carbon doors really set it off. That's what a 32 should look like!

I'll see if I can get you a pic of the traction rods. there you go (it's the gold ikeya arm): Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/177171-show-me-your-racing-machines/page/27/#findComment-3384479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumHedz Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I do my alignment by eye, and sometimes a stick Fine tuning is done by feel - ie, too much understeer? more toe out!
