I've been searching for the past 15-20 minutes trying to find more info about motorkhana builds for 32-Rs.

I have a 89 BNR that I'm going to send over the USA eventually. It's very much stock except for a few bolt-ons, etc so I don't want to modify it much (stock 32-Rs are getting rare). I decided to run motorkhanas because of the ability to have fun while not causing too much stress on my old GTR.

From searching on SAU, I see that hardly anyone races their GTR in motorkhana. I found more that GTS enjoy the sport as opposed to Rs. It seems that more GTRs are rally'ing, road racing, etc.

I don't mind road racing (HPDEs in USA) in 'stock/street' class either but motorkhana is a lot cheaper and more accessible so I'm leaning more towards that.

Is the GTR a bit of overkill for motorkhana?

Should I just focus more on a road race build?

well, unless I misunderstand autocross is a bit quicker and more open than our motorkhanas, so it won't be so bad. They are a little large and heavy for local khanas, but still great fun :)

In the end, you'd still get eaten by an evo or some sort of mini special

Thanks, mate.

I've done autoX'ing in the past and loved it but I suppose it's not as popular in Oz like it is in the US. I remember a lot of younger guys were autoXing and usually the older drivers were doing HPDEs

No way overkill! I've competed in GT-Rs for the last 18months at our Vic SAU days (max speed is around 140, avg about 60-80) - and the GT-Rs go just as well as the 180s etc. Just gotta learn how to drive them and set them up really.

Good diffs, suspension & brakes will make the world of difference. Of course power will also help and either way if i was you - change those turbos before they fail and potentially take the motor out.

For a good khana setup if you put on say:

Garrett -7s / PFC/ Tune

Nismo Diffs & transfer case rebuild & a high volume sump

18s or 17s with good rubber

Brakes (perhaps the GB? Link in sig)

You'll have around 300rwkw, and it will be super responsive & nimble (well, as nimble as a GT-R can be) and handle like a RWD or AWD car as the diffs lock hard and are good for tight stuff to get the ass around and then straighten the wheels and bury the pedal and 4 wheels drag you out :)

I had larger -5s but for that type stuff on a 2.6ltr they are too laggy.

You saying you competed in morokhanas? I'm not sure what Vic SAU days are.

I definitely want to setup the GTR for maximum grip while still maintaining the originality of it.

Thanks for the build-list. ATM, I'm think about doing a simple 33-R brembo upgrade as opposed to anything to crazy.

Just youtube "SAU-VIC DECA" - there will be heaps of footage of skidpan and also the back-track type stuff. Not your traditional stuff, little more speed involved but I managed to get a R33 around pretty well when i remembered which way to go :merli:

33-R brembo's are overpriced and a waste by the time you get new rotors, pads, rebuild (and paint) the calipers etc.

^I can get them fairly cheap in Japan. Believe it or not but I have a set of front R34 Brembos before I found out that I would have to drill a larger hole. lol.

I watched the videos, mate. Thanks for the info. ;)

Back on the subject of racing the GTR. What are some good engine supporting mods that I can do to help the engine longevity? For example, oil sump, ceramic coat the block, mine's cam baffles, Tomei oil orifice, etc. I want to keep everything stock but I do want to add lots of supporting mods.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      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 stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not 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?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      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.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
