This thread is interesting.

I have just started using my track R32 GTS-T on the dirt stuff as well. Although I cannot compete in the full on dirt rallies as yet, I have entered into the North Queensland Khanacross series. The car is all caged out and cams log booked and I am just waiting for my rego to come through so I can enter in the dirt and tarmac rallies at a higher level.

These photo's are from two weekends ago up in Mossman.

What are peoples thoughts on actually needing turbo power in a 2wd rally car? Iam not sure, seems to just turn them into a tyre lathe.

I say this because we run a 4AGE Sprinter with a massive 80 odd rwkw (Stockish motor with quads) in the Tasmanian rally series and we are keeping up with and even beating some of the 4wd turbo cars. And there is a 2wd N/A SR20 Sunny Gti down here that regularly makes it onto the podium.

I think we need that Formula Atlantic engine to keep up with the Gti though!

A pulsar SSS with the SR20DE would destroy a stockish turbo RWD skyline... NA torque is where its at. My 1600 had a class winning motor out of a 180B put into it... in the hills on tarmac or gravel it was a SHITLOAD of fun!!!!!! short gearing, response/torque, this is why a 3.4L R31 would be my pick, and shells are peanuts

looks like GREAT fun

I've been running an R32 rallycar for about three years now over here in NZ. Built it up from a road car.

The car started of just as a taily tank slapper on gravel, but over time we've developed the suspension and got it handling. It's such an unorthidox car with pretty much 70:30 weight split, apparently totally wrong for rallying, but we've proved them wrong with some good results, class wins and a 1st 2wd overall in sprints.

The car is built to our cc capacity rules, so it is still a 2ltr N/A with head work and ITB's.

A Silvia/180 etc would be a better car to start with, better weight ballance and the SR20 is a good donk to get N/A grunt out of. I just wanted to do it different and run a 6.

no matter how much better FWDs are on gravel, I still wouldn't rally one.

same goes for a NA Silvia or Skyline. Everything is better with turbos! The only thing I own with wheels that doesn't have at least one turbo is the camper trailer!

ITB sounds great!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
