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.

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

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
