All the cars need a full cage. Some just hide it well. I plan on being out there towards the end of next year. No idea what I'll be driving though. What ever pops up on my105 cheap I guess.

Will be good to see some more sau'ers out there

Boz and I are building a budget s13 currently. It was cheap as a race only import.

Sr20det. It'll cost about 7k caged and built basic to go racing with a brake upgrade, seats harness blah blah.

Cheap cheap way to go racing.

Andrew you should look at buying something similar, it will still take some money and talent to get an s13 to the front but to run top 10 shouldn't be hard.

Cheers was just looking at a hq. but I think the slowness would drive me nuts. But it would be nice to have a car I could race anywhere if I move to qld or if mra stops running

I have no talent lol. But I just want to get out there

The money you'll spend doing the rb20 and buying parts for an r31 would be better spent on an s13.

A serious break down would be

Cage $2200

Seat and harness $1000

Brakes $1000

Rims and tires 17 inch $1500

Safety gear $500

That's $6200 if you bought new tires and paid top dollar for safety gear like isolators, seat and brakes.

It could be done for 4k.

S13's are also elligiable for IPRA.

I'd build an r32 GTsT over an s13 but the s13 is so cheap to buy and replace if it gets shunted.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By Radical_Goodspeed · Posted

      So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?

      Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.

      NC MX5

      By The Bogan · Posted

      So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
