Looking at doing more running in September before WTAC. I've got a new turbo, which will boost power a little. But I'm umming and arrring around swapping the manifold out for a larger side mount, more so to help with EGT and keep everything happy.

*tips hat to you* Very inspirational thread. And I'm so glad that a grassroots theory and practise approach is working so well for you! Can't wait to see you attack Sydney Motorsports Park in October! I'll be there to cheer you on.

Sad you couldn't make it to the MelbS15 track day, heard you had diff problems :( Anyways, I'm sure we will hit the track again soon! Sadly I wont be able to pose any serious competition for you lol.

You are very lucky to have a great team of family and friends to make your racing project a reality!!! ;)

Yeh the diff ingested itself the weekend before the MelbS15 day. Was looking forward too it.

More work on the car this weekend. Current turbo comes off and on with a new prototype from Hypergear. Which needs some additional pipe work etc, so will have to wait on that.

We still need to finish the rear diffuser and brake ducts at the front of the car. Then get the front bar painted.

For the moment, I think I'm going to stick with my brothers non ABS 1.5 way diff.

Are you going to pinch holes in the rear bar or banking on tucking it up super tight to the body?

I'm interested in DIYing a rear to go with my front so I'll be interested to see how you tackle it.

I can fit a flat floor though if I want as I'm just tooling around on club days.

mmmm, work has been getting in the way...

Car goes in for a tune next Wednesday. Doesn't look like I'll get any testing in beforehand. But the car is relatively setup, it's just the increased power factor.

Good luck for this, looking forward to seeing an (or a few) R33 going nicely at the event :) What is the new turbo?

Update on the road to wtac.

Trent put in a big effort to tune the car while getting thier car ready last week.

This is hypergears latest highflow. its a stock 21U exhaust housing with an ss1 comp housing and some trick customised wheels.

For something that cost under $900, its a good thing.

it wants more boost, but my engine is tired and has stock valve springs.

sob of a weekend.

we kept blowing cooler pipes, constantly. got very few laps in, there is more in learning the track and setting the car up.

in previous spec the car did a 47 around PI on ad08's. I'd expect a 43 in current trim and a 40 on a050's.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
