My Autronic SM4 is hooked up to an oil pressure sensor and drops the max rpm if it reads lower oil pressure than usual.

You can also rig up a pressure switch sensor with cuts ignition/injectors if pressure is below certain level.

that's how we have done it in the new car. 30psi oil pressure switch in the earth for the coils, with an override switch for starting.

mines the same...dual contact n/c relay running off the hobbs switch...one set of contacts for the coils the other for the injectors with a start override switch and big autometer warning light. With ignition on the relay and warning light are powered through the n/c contacts of the hobbs...after starting the contacts of the hobbs are opened and the circuit override switch is opened...when the pressure drops the contacts of the hobbs are closed powering the relay and opening the contacts feeding the coils and injectors.

Just thought i would post some pics of my R33GTR circuit car. I am still in the process of building it but am starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Have just got the car running and am running the new engine in at the moment 40klm's so far but still plenty of work to go. Build time so far has been around 18 months. Specs are as follows.

1995 R33GTR non vspec (dont let the sticker fool you)

Interrior: 6 piont roll cage, Cobra suzuka seat, 6 point Willans harness, Seabelt seuade wheel

Suspension: Tien super street coilovers with EDFC, Whiteline front and rear sway bars, Whiteline front camber kit, Tien adjustable castor rods. Hicass will be deleted. This suspension set up will get some attention as soon as the budget permits.

Brakes are currently Brembo F50 front calipers with 355mm rotors on flaoting hats with ferrodo ds3000 pads and standard brembo rears with project mu pads.

Engine: N1 engine block, HKS step 2 2.8lt stroker crank, HKS rods, HKS step 2 2.8lt piston kit (different pin height), full Tomei metal gasket kit inc head gasket,inlet manifold,throttle body,exhaust manifold,turbo & dump pipe,

Head has been mildly ported and fitted with HKS inlet and exhaust cams 264 10.2mm & 272 10.2mm respectivly, Tomei type B valve springs and retainers, Tomei cam stud kit, ARP head stud kit, HKS cam gears, Nismo timing belt.

Hi Octane modified sump with a custom dry sump set up running a peterson 5 satge pump 3 pickups from the sump and on off the back of the head, Peterson 3 gallon oil tank, ARP main stud kit, ACL race series bearings, N1 water pump, Tomei exhaust manifolds, HKS gt2530 turbos, Hks adjustable waste gates,HKS hard piping kit, Tomei 3" dump pipes, Custom front pipe twin 3" into 4", Full 4" exhaust.

Fuel system: standard fuel pump used as a lift pump custom serge tank, Twin Bosch 044 fuel pumps running thru two -6 delivery lines and 1 -6 return line to a HKS fuel rail, Sard 700cc injectors am currently undecided on wich brand of fuel reg i will use either a Magna fuel or Turbo smart

Cooling: ARC 120mm intercooler, ARC swirl pot & Breather tank (not yet fitted), PWR custon radiator cross flow 75mm core with inbuilt water to oil oil cooler.

Drive train: Is currently running a standard 5 spd gearbox with ATS carbon twin plate clutch. This will be swapped for a Getrag 6 spd (R34 gear box) with Ats carbon twin plate clutch a one piece carbon tail shaft as soon as the engine is tuned and will also be looking at fitting a ATS 1.5way front diff as soon as the budget allows.

Electronics: Running the engine in on the standard computer injectors and afm's at the moment will be fitting a Motec M800 ecu as soon as I have enough klm's on the engine with motec boost control. Ruzic engineering (user name mountain runner) series 2 engine monitor, Ruzic engineering Race logger (in beta testing now) and will be looking at fitting a Ruzic engineering 4wd controller once the data logger is fitted so i can maximize my set up.

There is probably a heap of other stuff i have forgotten but as like nearly all race cars it will be constant and ongoing deveolpment. All work on the car apart from the roll cage and exhaust fabrication has been done by myself in my shed out the back without the help of any sponsors so has been a long hard slog and kept me poor but am starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel and is starting to make all the hard work and sacrifice worth it.

Looks great, will read on...

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
