My Hr31 Buildup

[Ad's]

Haha thanks mate! I was only going to use the blue nuts for a car show but they ended up staying on there.

Good to see another HR build thread getting around!

Keep the updates coming champ.

New PB at Wakefield!

1:09.63

Had a good day at the SAU Vs RENEW event. no breakages but the miss the splitfires were suppose to fix is still there you could hear it anywhere on the track when did it.

i actually started looking at the dash as i was going around and noticed that the car was trying to boost over 20psi! which then the ecu was cutting ignition or something.

im pretty sure that the wastegate was staying closed as when i slowly and gently got on the power it seemed to hold boost @16psi. also a little wd40 in the top of it stopped it from happening for a lap or so it it dried out.

hopefully i have a new wastegate on soon to see if that fixes it.

next things im doing are some new tyres(the RSR's are now over a year old, with several outtings), larger sump and a VLT oil pump. wanna get traction sorted and make it more reliable before it blows lol

pic from the day

[mungy]

wow so much work has been done, and it looks soo dam clean!

I now have a new standard to aspire to for my 31 build

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

haha. maybe from afar it looks clean...

it started like as a cheap drift hack, slowly getting better bits into it.

Sexy daves 31 from the 31club would have to be the cleanest ive seen. but there are heaps in there to drool over

[MaTBoY]

shit photobucket and shit work server blocking your pics .grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

Lol, moar pb umps ahead!!!!!

just bought a set of these off Syfon (pic of shanec86's car)

Sparco 17x8 and 17x9s

unfortunately, i cant afford Federal FZ201 or some slick ATM so it will be FediRSR's again, albeit an 1in wide a corner.

bought a Turbosmart 38mm gate just to trouble shoot till my new mani arrives,hopefully to the dyno soon.

thats about it for now,got to concentrate on getting the silo road worthy. so, heres some assorted pics

and before i really did anything to it. i actually quite like hotw it looked back then

heres a vid from the SAUvs RENEW day done by Eric (Pezhead).

theres not much of me, but some really cool cars like the wide body RB S15 and a Sports Sedan R100

Watch th R34 GTR pass me on the straight. "Hmmm i might just got round the jolly old fellow" lol

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

Yeay!!! issue got fixed today!

cant wait for texi, two weeks till skids

turns out it was boost cut by the ecu. now in part to having the wrong spring and lazyness, boost has been up'd to 18psi. tune is still quite rich for some protection.

does anyone know how to convert Tractive Effort into something i can understand?

[Ad's]

Big effing like!! I bet you would be happy with that power figure . (Wait's for vids of traction with 300kw)

[Silvia GTR]

Awesome build thread, I love cheap home job builds and your two door... theyre so hard to find these days, well up here anyway.

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

Cheers guys, skid vids soon

new wheels turned up today. wider tyres and less camber/castor will help fitment, but more importantly they dont need spacers to clear brakes and they fit the hub

ring thingys.

will feel alot more confident about not shearing studs now

215front/235rear going to 235front/255rear will hopefully help with grip.

[Bullet32]

James, you forgot to mention that it weighs 1,150kg. So with 315rwkw thats somewhere around 300rwkw per tonne... Something tells me you're going to need some damn good rubber

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

why yes good sir, i will need some good tyres.

yeay, now rolling on Federal FZ-201s!

235s and 255s

went up to wakefield yesterday and scrubed them in. felt heaps grippier then the RSR's up until 3rd gear hated life.

8 track outings and a few dyno runs in a 20 box aint bad me thinks. got another $100 box ready to go.

also bought a GPS data logger last night, so i'll be able to keep better track of improvements in the car and myself.

quick mob pic from yesterday.

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

so, i've had a go at making a front splitter.

its is a prototype/having a go to see if it works kind of thing. basically inan effort to reduce some understeer.

2in garden edging, 9mm ply an some s/s turnbuckels that have been attached tothe reo.

will sit flat when the bar is attached.

it sits about 100mm of the ground and goes back to the rear of the bar.

also put on the front tow point incase i poo it.

also bought this, so i'll know for sure if it works

[zebra]

Splitter looks great mang

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

cheers champ

Well, went to the last sau day @ wakie for the year today. Good time had

Met Chris Easton, one of the reasons i originally got the 31, the new tyreswere awesome and the splitter actually worked!

1st session quickest was a 1:10.1, 2nd was a 1:08.7, 3rd 1:08.3 and 4th a1:07.4 and 5th a 1:08.0..

starting to get my consistency down too, with 4 1:7s in a row in the 4th ses.

The new tyres (Federal FZ201s) had heaps of grip, way more than my old RSR'swhich were grippy as too. The splitter removed all of my understeer, defs goingto work on some more underbody aero...

And that little data logger was worth every cent. awesome to know what you did,when you did it and how.couple of quick pics in the pit

and now im going to bed as i've been up since 5....

lol

you scare me

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

Done some stuff J

My missus bought me a RPM duel layer suit for my bday so I can look all pro. Unfortunately it just shows my pot belly so no pics for that…

I have been thinking for awhile that my spring rates are too stiff.

I've been running 10kg'sfront and 8kg rears, good for driftos not so mush for sprints.

After talking over with Blue I have put the rears in the front and borrowed some 6's for the rear off Sweetfu

And my cf bonnet from fatz showed up last week. Quantity so awesome I crack an instant boner

Truth be told, I've wanted a 31house bonnet since I got into 31's… nearly 11years ago!

Also bought some flash aerocatches

They go here

Marking out

The scary part

How flash is that

Bolted to the hinges

After my last Wakefield day the FZ's showed how under braked my car is so now I've had some dogbone brake adapters made up and am just waiting on a price for some project Mu 330mm disc's for the front.

see, 31s can look low...

[N1GTR]

Where did you get the brake adapters made?

Also on your splitter, do you have any pics please showing how you attached the ply to the garden edging? I'm guessing 90 degree alloy edging cut into small pieces
