** and edit: just realised it's a replica, not a factory turbo SE.

Some nice track cars on here so i thought i'd post up my Rally car for anyone interested.

Built it up myself with my Dad and i run it in the Amsag rally series and Cams events. It is time for something new though so S13 Silvia is in production at the moment and hoping to have that up and running by mid next year. Looking to be able to do some track days in it as well although it wont be that well set up for tar.

good one Jason. What's in it?

I have a soft spot for the old Dattos. Had my share of 1200 coupes, sedans and a ute, 120Y coupes and a wagon with everything from A12 on twin SUs, A12 turbo, L16-18-20 and CA18DET engines. And a 4.4l V8 240K coupe.

Yeh gotta love them simple to work on and take a beating day in day out with not much complaint haha.

It has the A15 with plenty of head work big cam, bored out and running twin Dhelorto's. The rest of the work is in the suspension disc brakes all round with vented rotars etc etc its prolly taken about 3-4 years of playing around to get it up to a decent car that is supprisingly quick against all the 1600's and even some of the 4wd guys. It just lacks any straight line speed so ive decided to retire her and go with the Silvia which is going to be a whole different story but im looking forward to it.

oooh any pics or more info on the 240K?

it was a project car several years ago now, but I sold it on. Shouldn't have, it was a really clean rust free shell. Had flares, not the GTR style ones but would have been easy to change them over. It was a Leyland P76 4.4l Alloy V8, basically a bigger version of the old Rover V8. Supra 5spd. Should have kept it... I have some pics somewhere on the hard drive at home, but it wasn't much to look at really. I bought it at a time when I had about 3 projects on the go and never did anything with the car. Always regretted selling it though, and even tried to track it down to buy it back a couple of years ago...

mates parents gave him a 240K as a first car... was absolutely mint, old lady owner had done about 60,000km... he whinged about it and we used to make fun of it, sold it really cheap in the end... now they are popular again and worth a bit he is spewing he got rid of it... some flares, chin spoiler, a V8 and some old school 0 offset rims... would have been perfect!

hindsight is always 20/20

that is a good price! turbo clubman ftw!

look what Santa's bringing me. It may be a slightly late delivery, but I'll let him slide just this once:

these are unbelievably good value from the states at the moment. Will wait till I see how long they take to get here and what the service is like after handing over the money before I recommend this guy to anyone though.

I am loving the idea of a Clubman, but reading up on the whole Lotus 7 Replica cars there are a few good ones around and soooo many dodgy ones. How do you tell the difference :rofl:

I want a R300 Caterham without an engine then throw in some sweet 9,000rpm NA goodness :D But then i live in an apartment that already has a living room full of parts so think i need a house before something like that :D

Defiantly not doable in an apartment, nor is a datto :D

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
