R33 farmcar. Who like's no-fuks-given builds?

Gday Blokes

This will be for the boys who enjoy backyard crap, not full blown nice builds.

So we have a farm, that farm has a race track and each year we run a few events and buy shit cars to race, now if your quick you can pickup a few imports cheap...last year i went out with a stock sr20det 180sx that i later turned into a full drift build......a few months ago I picked up a crashed and shit R33 skyline.

friends

The car was pretty molested and shit, after tidying up lots of things I tried to get it started......long story short it had been sitting over 5 years in the weather and the engine was full of water/rust and all sorts of bad crap....i measured 0 compression on cyl 1 and 2 - then gave up testing.

* rusted fuel pump / replaced with a spare walbro had sitting around. the fuel in the tank has melted all the seals and gone off.

Installed a r32 rad i had lying around, had to remake the bottom mounts, make it sit higher + different rubber mounts type.

Installed an intercooler on the front reo bar

What ran across the track at 20 sec mark - is that a sheep?

Yeah the paddock is full of sheep...they usually all run away when we come down but this one was a little late to the party. 

Thats not the whole track btw, that's just the "short track" its split-up so you can race two cars at the same time. (crosses over, so you do long, then short, or if your on the other side short then long)

a few of the guys have made videos of our adventures over the years...next weekend will be the weekend for racing and im pretty excited to thrash the skyline for 4 days :)

the much awaited update! well maybe not much awaited, but an update non the less.

 

the first day was a 40deg day and the skyline was boiling the coolant...dident help that i dont have a fan shroud installed.

Installed a thermo fan on the radiator (from one of the dead cars parts stack) wired that into the headlight loom, because dont have headlights.

after that the temps stayed under control.

 

The exhaust was trying really hard to melt the loom on the first day, so i built a heat shield and covered it in the heat tape.

 

replaced the hicas with a lock-bar

 

car ran great all weekend! here is some pics.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
