Hster time attack build 180sx SR
As of 3/20/2018
https://image.ibb.co/iU91Sx/1521560034826.jpg I will keep this super simple. I'm basically on a journey to build a reliable/fun street class time attack car. First goal is to beat my track times set with a e46 m3 using same tires : Hankook RS3 255/40/17 SOW 1:27.1 BW 13 2:04.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psx1muelpy.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pscwpcb17v.jpg April 2015 shell purchased https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psvkukhg9x.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...ps0dgutrok.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psulqytdc8.jpg May 2015 Engine in https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psigp7vvr7.jpg May 2015 First drive to gas station. (always nice :)) https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psa45qapys.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psgkdo5knq.jpg Sep. 2015 worked on F/R suspension Added front mount intercooler/ front bumper https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pscbfrlttx.jpg Sep. 2015 Rattle can paint :facepalm: https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...ps6pzpsmtu.jpg Oct. 2015 Couldn't stand the rattle canned bumper. Couple of friends helped me paint for first time. looks half way decent https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psp9ih09qb.jpg Oct. 2015 Went to adams motorsports parkway several times to shake down the car. got decent time. running stock s13 sr engine with Hankook Rs3 255/40/17 and megans track coilover Nov. 2015 Went to adams on drift night because I really wanted to crack my bumper. :facepalm: That's probably the first and last time I will drift with this car.. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psgqzifx8p.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psuqfp4vaj.jpg Jan. 2016 Found out stock head gasket was bad. upgraded to t28/ 555cc/ JWT Ecu https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psj0hddqik.jpg Mar. 2016 Upgraded coilover https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psjfpyizxe.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pszljatjam.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pstsqjrwav.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pstyj0fryd.jpg Mar. 2016 Along with t28, I wanted to keep myself safe at the track. Notice I have a bat dog with laser eyes. very rare breed. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pspjlibbcw.jpg Apr. 2016 Keeping earth greener : magnaflow 100 cell https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...ps4nkuckmf.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psw6mxwq7r.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pszdmielq2.jpg May 2016 Wanted more traction in the rear : s14 subframe, carbonetics 1.5w https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psrgq4t7kk.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psqsi5npqd.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psnsk78tqu.jpg May. 2016 Vented hood. Apr spoiler https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psiuhdlj2g.jpg May. 2016 Went to SOW. I expected little better time but I found whole lot of issues that needs to be worked on. Thanks for reading. will update as new things happen. |
Biggest thing I wanted to fix was corner exit oversteer and excessive roll.
I bought some whiteline sway bars to install before the next track event, but did not received them in time. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psbmerhqn2.jpg June. 2016 Auto Club Speedway (ACS) Roval https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psl6juufcd.jpg The day started fine but after revving high on that bank, oil started shooting out from valve cover. I think the ebay catch can I have was too restrictive. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psq6poh40y.jpg three downpipe bolts decided to shoot out after continuous heating/cooling/vibration. had to tow the car home :-/ Best time of the day was 2:03.8. Still have a lot to improve. hopefully I can get my sway bar/ oil catch can in by next track day. |
Are the door bars constrictive? I noticed that you maintained complete door panels so that puts the door bars close to your body. Does it bother you at all?
I want to keep my door panels too and am debating whether to do it like you did or not. |
installing the factory oil separator or utilizing a s14 SR valve cover will help with pushing oil. These engines like to do that without either or.

1 year in the game...

Been going through some personal stuff..
need to do the following : - buy new set of tires - install sway bar - install jwt s3 cam/gt2871r - fix oil catch issue once I get the tires, I can rock the new wheels! https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...ps9sogmixc.jpg |
Damn, this is cool! Keep it up man
|
Awesome stuff. I think I saw you at ACS at the last Nissan Challenge event.

Getting ready for ACS Roval (California Speedway) 8/13/2016
https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psnyy2mm9h.jpg Changed water pump pulley https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psrmdxxbbj.jpg Added stock oil separator to see how much better it is. If this doesn't do much, I'm gonna have to modify the valve cover https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psfbbljcbp.jpg Added whiteline sway bar on the front. When I installed both whiteline fr/rr, car oversteered just as before. I ended up with 27mm front and 15mm on the rear. Hopefully this setup works better. Is anyone else going? I think there is nissan challenge this weekend. |
regamasters yummmm
|
Swaybars made a big difference?

I went back out to ACS only to find more trouble.
https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...ps4wxx76n8.jpg First session after warm up lap, my intercooler hose blew. No big deal, just clamp it down tighter and go out on the next session. Session 2: as I finish my lap 1, car started to lose power. I look at the temp gauge and it was pegged hot. I try to pull over to a safe area but car eventully died and never started back up.:facepalm: Looking back, I think my timing was set wrong (on retard) which caused my engine to run hot. Once it got hot and built pressure, one of my radiator hose clamp was not fully tight as all of the coolant leaked out. I verified this by pressurizing coolant system. compression on cylinders are 90-90-90-20. probably seized the piston as well. It's all my fault. having a warning gauge would have been nice in retrospect. I'm gonna try to figure out where to go from here. maybe another SR or VQ. Definitely planning on keeping the engine stock as possible. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psjaqddauh.jpg |
New Journey begins with built bottom end.
Hopefully this engine will stay strong. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pstux5bh0o.jpg |
An EMS that has some failsafe procedures would help a lot probably in extending the life of the engine when you can't keep your eyes on gauges.

Awesome build!

I was actually talking to a buddy that has set of defi gauges with warning lights for his car and he told me he saved his engine one time from oil starvation. I always thought they were waste of money.. time to change my mind. Quote:

Yeah. I went with an infinity myself it'll shut down the engine for me if anything goes out of WACK.

Been busy with traveling and some personal issues..
https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psz9khsd65.jpg Managed to pull the motor out https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psxwkpares.jpg Found this! looks like it was resting against the turbo. Perhaps, that's the reason for overheating... https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psklz7mkcn.jpg Upgraded the hose from nylon braided to steel braided with heat sleeves. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psdkw21unj.jpg Mounted gt2871r https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psjtvcreqz.jpg Safety wired the elbow https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pscjz5d57d.jpg Ogura for added power https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psdcyph4kd.jpg Changed trans front seal along with couple gaskets https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psja2bovjh.jpg Got the motor back in Still need to do alot more, but hopefully car will be running soon! |
https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psmipdcyri.jpg
Finally started the car back up. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...ps8x28tv1e.jpg Had a welder weld in some bungs and intercooler pipe https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psvydzcgdt.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psudbpudsj.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pslor0nhi7.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psffob40dw.jpg compression were all good some more minor work and it will be ready for shakedown! |
Found a cool shot of you from the last Corner3 Motorsports Nissan Challenge.

Cool, Thanks alot! |
Subbed, definitely cool with all these parts and quick upgrades.

Swapped the valve cover with modified crank vent.
https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pscvc9s63d.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pson7cue3j.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psx8gfngfj.jpg I got the idea from slider2828's thread but I believe I can use the rear port for crank vent, kind of like s14 setup. S14 valve cover definitely has advantage with sloped rear to push fluid towards the front vent but I believe this setup would work too. If it doesn't do the job, I would have to source a s14 valve cover. This is cheapest method so might as well try. I will report back after getting the aem ems tuned. Looking for a tuner right now.. |

I opened the valve cover again to do the cam : jwt s4 Valve cover decided to crack. I think I over tightened the npt barb fitting. Luckly, I had an extra valve cover but I had to have my welder weld in a bung for crank vent hose. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psx1yxiywr.jpg I then took out the maf and put in gm 3bar sensor along with gm ait sensor for ease of tuning. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...pstfn4afln.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...psluiqlfjc.jpg Wired up 6 sensors (4 of them had to be lenghtened like picture) for Defi advance ZD. Hopefully this will save me from engine trouble in the future (knock on wood) https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...ps9flvwdsv.jpg Mounted oil catch can and moved the intake down low. https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.fixp...ps0thgxmql.jpg Mounted gktech fan |
You'll love the S4 cams, best sr20 cams out there.
I like the safety wire method for the o2 housing. What did you do for the nuts for the turbo to manifold? Is it difficult to drill the bolts for the safety wire? |
Quote:
I used stock nuts and locking plate on the turbo to manifold side. I've had alot of problems in the past using aftermarket headers where those back out, but with stock manifold, it should be good. To drill the bolts, you just hold the bolt tight and use drill press. |
