Damo's R32 Gts-r, On Going Project Fun Car. History And Use Full Info


Recommended Posts

another taken by Bens steady hand. if you look real hard, and i mean hard, you can just see it pop a masive flame on the back straight.

incar will come over the next few days. tomorow if pull apart day.

Well done again Damo, 62.6 is a very respectable time and considering track temp was so low and you struggled for grip only tells us there is more in it!

PS im still waiting for my cheque... or is it in the mail? Lol!

bit of an update. got injectors in after some dicking around.

modified stock fuel rail to make it twin entry centre out using stock fuel pressure reg.

put it on the dyno and this is the result.

before every one makes their judgments there is a few things to add.

fuel pump ran out of legs so couldnt get enough fuel in the top end. single external bosch.

car was ran in 5th as it wheel spun in 4th

so the number is marginal but it shows the difference e85 can make on an engine. its the same turbo back to back with only the injectors changed and a turbo beanie.

it makes more power, cooler engine, quicker, and with less boost.

upgraded fuel system is the next mod but im not looking to do that any time soon.

few pics to finish it off.

sticker bombed center console and changed switch gear

put mesh in intake to make it appear to have a headlight from a distance.

remounted my carbon pannel to cover wiring.

The front swaybar was disconnected to get better turn, but it did make it wander under brakes. The bar that's in it, is the size of a structual beam.

Yea thanks ben for uploading it. last run was my quickest by half a sec but i think the second last one was the nicest run.

thats on street tyres too. bit of an oversight. i had some better tyres but didnt have the time to change them during runs.

very pleased to get a good run out of this thing.

E85 makes the world of difference to the mid range, it feels far more responsive than earlier this year.

im pretty rusty in the driving department but i was only there to have a bit of fun. and like ben mentioned having no sway bar tends to make it dance under brakes.

Got the final round of the tassie drift series to go to this coming saturday so will see what it can do there.

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
