Building A R31 Track Car

[BrownDog185]

so the racing bug has hit me and a friend, so we've decided to build a track car

We want a 31 cuz around theres too many Silvias, 180's, 32's and 33's

Havent got a car yet, but we do have a motor, a RB20DET someone had in their VL Commodore, no idea if it runs but we're tearing it down anyway

also got a nice shiny cooler

Todays progress:

Got both manifolds off

removed nearly all water and oil lines

removed the sump and oil filter

painted the cam covers

Parts we got:

RB20DET Block, head, manifolds, turbo and ecu

After market front mount intercooler

Parts we need so far:

Car

VRS kit

Timing belt and water pump kit

Head bolts

plugs, Coils and loom

injectors

Turbo the rb30.......

Yeah mad.

Bring it on.

Don't forget the (compared to later IRS Nissans) crap rear end. You'll have to get a good diff and put a KAAZ in, possibly do the bearings etc as well. Or if you're cheap (which 99% of R31 owners are), mini spool and away you go. I'd recommend 4.11 Pintara diff gears.

You'd also want to upgrade the brakes. Plenty of info on the R31 Skyline club forums/wiki.

Looking forward to the finished product. GLHF

might have to change the topic heading, found a red R32 GTS-t thats a little beaten up, comes with two rb20 blocks, couple of other spares and a MINES ECU

$1000

[r32-25t]

Throw the mines ecu in the bin, it's probably the reason there are so many spare rb20s

[BrownDog185]

i thought it was sort of an upgraded version of the standard ECU

I might be wrong but from wat i have read, they can be a bit hit and miss with the results, one reason i haven't got one. If your on a budget you could probly get away with a piggy back
