Some of you guys know that grumblebee (James) is entered in superlap.

Unlike most of the cars out there this is a genuine budget shed built bit of awesome

And you are not going to see many r31's at superlap having a crack.

This is his car:

Anyway it costs a fortune to enter and have a decent crack(you won't get change from 5k I recon)

So I am putting this up to see if everyone in the club will get behind him and maybe help out.

How can you help?

slip him some cash. This can help him by:

Buy the good tyres (the super softs are about 3 seconds quicker than the medians)

Buy petrol

Subsidise accommodation

Buy faster bits and a tune

Lighten the car

Or maybe you can help out when he is out there

Or even cheer him on( whilst drinking beer like me)

So anyway I've slung him $100 to get the ball rolling( just because I love r31's)

Be generous and help a 31er out if you can.... Even if it's five bux

Any cash received goes straight to James,

Good thinking and a really thoughtful deed Pete.

Will post link to this thread in the ACT section. (James' home turf)

and I can pass the hat round at this Friday nights meet and help out.

I'll match your donation.

Great idea Fatz - I'll contribute towards this worthy cause!

By the way, here are some more photos of "Grumblebee" for those who havent seen it in the flesh... I think it's likely that this will be the only R31 at WTAC this year, I reckon it will also surprise a few people too. :)

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
