Hello thanks for letting me in to the group

Im Matt.  Been building car for a while.

Most recently I have been doing the Rally thing with a 1984 Nissan Bluebird. Full CA18DET (160KW at the wheels) anda full Group A body kit. (Photo Attached) The car now lives in SA.

Im now setting out on the most ambitious build Ive ever dreamt up.  A Nissan Bluebird withe a RB26DETT and 4wd. 

I will start a build thread - I know of a couple of RWD RB powered Bluebirds but I don't think anyone has gone full GTR on the light weight chassis.

My goal is Track days, hill climb and WTAC if they will have me.

 

Thanks for reading.

Matt

Thanks, I think it will be epic. 1000KG and 1000HP????  (well maybe not straight away but we can dream)

Heaps of pics of the old car, and there will be a build thread of the new car.  I think of this build like the bad uncle or the black sheep of the NISSAN family.  Sort of great Uncle-Zilla or Gramp-zilla

You can also check out the Bluebird Mafia group on Facebook for more.

Cheers

Matt

      They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.

      Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
