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.

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.

      I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.

      R33 GTR N1 REO on an r32 ?

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard

      If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
