R32 Gtst - Track Car

[bcozican]

Where am I at ?  as usual here now prob a dump of accumulated months and months

 

I have decided to do some upgrades both to advance the car and also create a spares package to reduce time off track should something occur... all the theories

 

there is engines, bodywork, technology and just stuff....

 

So pulling the car basically all apart

 

New engine will be built to rb28 specs the current decent built rb25 will be a spare

Head starts as a hydro rb25 head but full porting, supertech solid conversion + other goodies also the usual Kelfords etc etc

 

I use a 5 - 0 Ignite trigger kit - they upgraded me to their new 36 -2 situation

 

Updating the rad - the Koyo has done its job and moving to a PWR crossflow

 

Ive been running 9.5" rims with 265/35 tyres up front to date - they have done the job but really are struggling and get torn to pieces so move to big boy tyres means alot of changes - going to 295/35 is a huge diameter jump and some width

New TC105X 18 x 10.5 + 12s acquired

 

A struggle is to fit the combo into the arch etc as it hit alot of places so we added some inner clearance modding the J arm and now all fits nicely

 

Have gone the Motec dash route for data - not that i know what Im talking about but others do so they can use the info

 

One of the upgrades is also Bosch MS ABS for braking and outward sensors for wheel speed allowing lots of data for the likes of traction control, the diff guy to get info and blaa blaa

 

 

 

I think thats it for now

Casual updates worth 50k... you know, just casually... lol

Awesome stuff mate, that ABS seems to be the hot ticket item for all the TA bois lately. 

 

[bcozican]

Says Mr. engine and upgrades himself 😄

Eh not here to be showy, but also got nothing to hide on my build have spent lots yeop and just hope I go faster lol

I just got inspired and sort alot of info through reading about cars on this forum so put it out there in case someone has a question or might want to try something 

Ye I prob seem like ABS fan boi been talking about it for ages finally just threw it in the f*ck it bucket and bit the bullet

 

[No Crust Racing]

The long block got a bit carried away but the rest will be budget racing at its best, No Crust if you will

I looked at the ABS kit costs.... that can wait for another refresh lol 

[robbo_rb180]

Looking forward to seeing the results of this upgrade.
Are you going to be also setting up full traction control too now you have the wheel speed sensors?

 

[bcozican]

yes to traction control the sensors are there so why not - it'll be through Haltech - I know there are better out there but cant have everything... yet. How good it'll be will be interesting and up for debate till proven in a practical situation

Interesting for those playing at home, apparently outboard sensors on the hubs vs using those in std gtr etc off the diff increases the accuracy of the data dramatically as there is so much chatter that comes off the diff

f**k me, 10k for the ABS? 

Will be interesting to see how the difference feels.  I've been living with 3 channel, 30 yo ABS for a long time, would be very interesting to see how it feels back to back.

That was my reaction when I looked at pricing. 

Given I am about to replace my master, is it worth me trying to implement basic Nissan ABS? I was also under the impression it was not suitable for motorsport. 

I'm just going to a BM57 to match the 350z Brembos - the car has never had ABS.

The J arm mod, did you do it just for that section because it was the most like aera to hit the tyre and also did you think about carrying it around to the top were it bolts to?

Ive been living with no ABS

back to back will be hard considering I am making so many changes at once but obviously feel etc blaa blaa

I also saw it (we all stretch for any justification in these circumstance's) as a combo thing coupling the traction control - so that halves the cost ???  bahaha

It was the first incarnation of this thought process

The tyre shouldnt reach there any tyre deflection under load should be squish which is sideways so shouldn't need ? 🤷‍♂️

Also need to add bracing to the back of it for support

f**k, solid update!

[Looney_Head]

what front hubs and knuckles have you gone to to get non driven wheel speed?

r33 gtst knuckle and r34 gtst abs hub

Edited August 5, 2022 by bcozican

[Looney_Head]

did the R33 knuckle bolt in to the R32 amrs?

[bcozican]

I have all adjustable arms etc but yeop bolted up fine

I now know of 2 more r32 gtst and an R32 GTR running r33 / r34 gtst (same) front knuckles also - so should bolt up fine  * all have fully adjustable arms though

[Looney_Head]

sweet thanks i will try to get a set. i'm looking for ways to get non-driven well speed

[Komdotkom]

I just run R32 ABS knuckles with GT101's in the hole, perfect fit. I knocked 1/2 the teeth off the ABS rings to keep the count under control, GT101's being a bit shit.

Got a new diff built 

 

S15 housing to match what my current one is 

Nismo GT pro 1.5 centre

Neat gearbox new 4.11 gear set shot peened & polished

Gktech rear cover for extra oil - takes 2.1 ltrs all up

 

Moving from my current 3.7 gearing to 4.11 to make use of more engine and revs and bigger profile tyre means I was geared to break land speed records and the gear although was nice and 'safe' to roll around at relatively low revs really wasnt right

my current diff is built almost to the same specs - will be going 4.11 also and be a spare, hopefully I never have to use it though!

On how many platforms you want me to tell you this is sick? 

Because I'll do it...
