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.

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
