Wow.

Yeah it has been a long time since an update in this thread.

It's been laid up for a while. Sitting on stands and collecting dust. The last 2 years of my life has been a case of home renovations and getting married. The 32 went on the back burner.

After Campbell crashed it in June 2013 the only event it did was SAU Nationals in SA. I actually won the motorsport side of the event which I was pretty happy with.

Only change to the car was a new front bar and diffuser. I also fitted an Accusump oil accumulator under the dash to fix oil surge problems. Despite having a winged and baffled sump it still needed it.

After that event, my mate grabbed the diff for his car and it's not moved at all since. Currently the rear subframe is out of it ready for an R33 subframe and GTR diff and shafts. Hoping to get it ready for SAU nats this year and I need to get back to PI coz I haven't had a decent crack at it in it's current form.

I've attached some pics from 2013 SAU nats at Mallala and Collingrove hill climb.

Quite proud of the time I did at Mallala considering it was my first time. 1:14.63. Don't know of any other 2wd skylines that have done a time faster than that.

WTAC 2017

[Russman]

Haha we'll see, I'll be happy with a Deca and 1 x track day this year! Not sure about WTAC 2017, my times in 2012 would still get me 20th in Open class haha. Might be able to get it down to the 1:36's without too much work but I think Vic time attack and some SAU rounds would be good enough of a comeback.

3 years worth of dust!!

Clean and up in the air. Final bits of work required to hit the track in November.

And then? 

[Russman]

Gee it's been a long time since I've logged in to SAU forums. Basically I did a motorkhana in Nov 2016 and blew 3rd gear. Wheeled it back into the shed and I haven't touched it since! I have all the bits to fix it but not time, I'll get to it....

You should sell it broken to me for cheap...

[Russman]

Pulled the gearbox apart and what a mess! That's what 'clicking 3rd' with hot 295 AO50's will do to a 33 gearbox! 

With some bits purchased from another donor box and help from Donny at Forced Motorworx, I have a gearbox again... It'll go back into the car soon and work on hitting the track again. Can't believe it's been another 2 years since I've driven it! Time flies!

I've also moved house and have my own shed, because of this I don't have a hoist anymore. Back to changing gearboxes on the floor...

About time.
