Race S12

[Arro]

im pretty sure its a s13 maf, here it is





as far as the year, lvdave looked it up on his nissan program at work, so i dont doubt what he said.

That looks like you have an S12 *turbo* model MAF,  it looks exactly like mine, and I expect that considering the history of this car, it is, because most of the modifications done to it were before the S13, and all they had were wha was available from Nissan in '84 or what they could custom make themselves.

Bluke I'd really like to see better pictures of your rear camber adjustments, and if you know how many dergrees of adjustment that gives, do tell.

[bluke1]

that would make sense about the maf because the ecu has the dial type method of checking the code as opposed to the on off switch that the ca20 uses. although ryan hampton called it a 240 hotwire conversion, so im not really sure. might need to look up the part #. in a day or two i will go wild with the camera and get some of the pics you guys want to see up close!

[Arro]

I correct myself with this:



S13 KA24DE MAF is how it's listed, so I assume that is what they used until the S14, which used this:



This is listed as a KA24E MAF, which may indeed be what you have:

It's more likely like the first one Arro posted - KA24DE. Look at the wire jack (contact) - it is bolted to the body as in the first pic. The last pic (KA24E) have this plug made in one body with the big plastic part.

getting the car ready for a race oct 25-26. pretty close to finishing prep work, but still need to bleed brakes, change pads, mount tires, etc. my buddy don, who i bought the car from, is giving me all the used race tires i could want for free! plenty of life still on them (rich guys throwing away perfect heatcycled tires!) with brands like toyo and hoosier. another  friend of mine helped me redo/add some new stickers, numbers and sponsors, etc. heres a few teaser pics. ill have the car cleaned up and some professional pics from the race, with hopes of a spot in the calendar!!!!  

) and may add some more (if i can get more free stuff).

 More pics on roll cage!

[bluke1]

heres a few of the cage that i have, i can take more specific ones if asked

[Arro]

Edit: I'll send you a stencil graphic for the new one if you want, PM me. Also if you get someone to take some good on-track pictures, maybe you can submit one for the calendar...? It's gotta be high-resolution originals tho.

OMG SO COOL IT BLOWS MY MIND!!

This, and most of the interior is still there.  so badass (I understand is probably a class reg. thing)

Free tires are GOOD!

please, lots of pics of this event!!

can you give details on where exactly this event is at?  I might be... somewhat local

I would like a picture of the mounting point of the main arch of the cage. Also, I guess the cage is SCCA certified??

[bluke1]

the cage is scca legal except i think they now require a 'nascar' style driver door bar. ill get more pics later today of the mounting points. the race is at hallett motor racing circuit, located a few hundred yards of the turnpike near tulsa. you can find directions and a track map here http://www.hallettracing.net/ . i will be racing on the 25-26 of october. it would be cool if you were...somewhat local

here are some pics of the mounting points. i will tell you that in the cages that were built by kirk getches, a master cage builder/engineer, look a lot better. this cage was built in the 80's. scca rules allow a 'footprint' dimension for the main roll hoop and other mounting points, and kirk would maximize it st the strongest structure points of the car. he would also drill through the dash to run his bars, instead of curving around them like my cage. the scca rules allow some ingenuity, they just dont spell out what it is. nevertheless, here is what mine looks like







you can see the footprint could be larger, and also tie in with the vertical structure (based on scca rules). the key is to maximize the footprint of the cage to tie into the most structurally sound points in the car, not just the floorpan where its convienent. i may see if i can get some pics of better mounting points like ive tried to describe and post them up for you.

oh, and i also installed a new windsheild today, getting closer!!!

[DjayS12]

I think I get what you mean. Just draw a short diagram on paint. Should look a bit like this?


That's how I plan to design my roll cage, minus the two front arch (basically a 4pts instead of a 6pts). I wan't to keep my car street legal and these two front bar aren't legal for street car.

my pics are not that in depth but here are the links to them they are huge so I dont want to post them in the thread I can try to get more pics later but right now I dont have a good digi cam so cell phone pics would be all i could get. Also remember mine is just a 4 point back half cage

Nice pics. That is exactly the model of roll cage I'm willing to go with. The only thing is about your rear mounting point, I won't be able to reach that point in my notch, unless I go in cutting. I'm probably gonna mount it in the same spot as bluke1 roll cage.

[bluke1]

redrockets cage looks nice! appears to be strong and streetlegal. heres a simple drawing to give you a better idea of what i was talking about



see how the 'footplate contacts what would be the floor and the side of the cars structure in a large area and the gussett helps tie in the whole thing. multiple gussetts can be used, depending on if you are trying to make it competition legal or just for personal safety.

[sideways_s12]

can you snap off some pics of the engine I am really interested in how it looks also do oyu have itbs really want to see that

[nismologist]

im calling koni and trying to get them to maybe find the plans or something.i dont know im calling and trying hard to get them.

[bluke1]

sorry, no itb's, and it doesnt look very impressive, scca improved touring rules dont allow for much modification to the engine... most if what it has done is internal, but you might notice more of what it doesnt have, like all the emmision and idle control stuff. and if you look, it has a maf instead of the factory vane type airflow sensor and the rules require using the factory air intake box, but the pipe is custom.

[bluke1]

just got back from my first race weekend after pulling it out of mothballs! had a few issues (clutch slave cylinder blew its seal on my 4th lap, drove 2 hrs to get a replacement, exhaust flange bolts broke/fell out during feature race causing early retirement) but the car performed well, engine ran strong, and i had a lot of fun! lap times got better as my confidence grew and it handled beautifully, much more time left on the table. pics will follow (eventually, need to submit for calendar  ) tired, more later....
