Zebra's 2010 Mra Gts-t Build

[zebra]

Cheers Brad,

I tried to find some registered cars at MRA yesterday to see how they do it...but all i could find that was regoed was a triumph TR-7 so doesnt really apply to me lol.

At the moment the plan is to get everything else sorted out, and running smoothly on the track then ill get the cage made up, i figure that there is no point doing the cage now only to find there are engine issues etc, plus I need track tyres aswell.

[Risking]

Yeah you wont find many rego'd cars out there anymore. Its entry level but getting rather serious kinda fast, Almost everything out there was a purpose built car yesterday and rightly so.

Going off the times where would you have roughly placed??

Id guess around the 1 min 10 mark??

[zebra]

TBH I have no idea what it runs around there, only been out on street tyres, played with the suspension a bit and was not far behind a couple of evo 8s (street tyres aswell)

but then the motor decided to piss oil everywhere so went home before I timed myself.

wtf how the f**k did I miss this thread!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Good build up mate!!!

Cant wait to get chopped by this @ the track!!!

we'll need to organise one race weekend, you, me, ando, Ryan, brad and have a mad weekend at a race meet and beers after

FTW!

Cheers Chubbs

Not much to update on the car atm...waiting for my EMU harness to arrive.

But lack of funds has put the brakes on this for now...might go strip the rear of the interior this week

[zebra]

Not much to report here atm, apart from installing my Tech Edge 2J1 wideband and having a bit of a play with the tune.

Boy doesnt the stock ecu run rich...9-10:1 afrs just crusing round town =\

[Risking]

if you bought the tech edge second hand throw the sensor in the bin and buy a new fresh one before using it to data log.

I have found recently with data logs that a new sensor can read signifiacantly different than an older sensor and on a race engine running two sensors in each pipe we only get 6 months from them before they're not accurate.

AFI who I buy from says its the heat that would be shortening the life span of the sensors which bosch confirms in most of their tech documents.

[zebra]

I bought it brand new, but that is handy to know

Its been worth every penny so far....got 160ks to a quarter of a tank today

Going to try and wire up the standard boost guage sensor to it and see how it goes logging boost pressure.

Also do you use to tech edge to log RPM? cant work out where to wire it too...im thinking the tach signal wire or is there a better option?

[Risking]

if your going to use the tech edge to log then use the number 1 coil pack output or the tacho signal wire yes.

As long as you configure the TE and you know what voltage=what boost pressure then you can log that sensor with ease.

There are far better data loggin devices on the market than the tech edge though. Its main purpose is a lambda obviously but data is okay for simple things

[zebra]

yea i just want somthing simple for now.

The ECU has onboard logging at the push of a button, but doesnt display boost, just airflow voltage

[Renfen]

tough as

[evil_weevil]

This thread needs more updates!!!

[zebra]

hahah...id forgotten about this thread....well im chucking in a whiteline 22mm rear sway bar this weekend.

now has 740cc injectors......

and well thats probably about it for now.....gotta fix a leaky sump this weekend too

[zebra]

This project has now come to an end...car is for sale now

[BOZ22N]

NOOOOOOO don't give in to the S13 hype.

Seriously i hope all turns out well for you mate, all the best.

[zebra]

Cheers mate,

dont worry though im not heading over to ns.com though lol

[evil_weevil]

lol

Yiou gotta do what ya gotta do Andrew!

but hope you can still build it for track use!

[zebra]

Well....So much for selling the car lol

new bits and pieces have been ordered, such as, a New turbo setup

Adjustable front upper camber arms, a few new gaskets etc.

will get some pics of the newly stripped interior once i get back from holiday.

[zebra]

A few Teaser pics of whats about to be fitted over the new few weeks

Pillow Ball adjustable upper arms

this will be used as my catch tank, just have to modify it a little to fit some filters on it

And this was an impulse buy. Dunno if it will do a whole lot but i love the look of "noddy's" Yellow R33 so I couldnt help myself.

Also a new turbo setup, as i wasnt convinded the cheapy stainless manifold would be up to the task of being a full time circuit car without cracking,

So its back to the standard exh manifold with a Hypergear ATR43 G3, with the big .82 rear housing.

Im hoping to have a nice linear power curve upto 7000rpm with this setup

So if any one is interested in a nice complete high mount turbo setup for cheap as the turbo needs new seals shoot me a PM for more details as i dont wanna turn this into a forsale thread

[evil_weevil]

hahaha you caved son!!!!!

good to see some new bits n pieces!

now finish build and track the thing!
