R’s Day 2024 was May 26th at Laguna Seca. It was a great fun event. However getting ready for an event takes a lot of time and effort. Figure at least 40 hours of prep for every hour of track time. This year, we were trying to prep four cars for the event. Brian’s car, Ernie’s car, the Nismo, and a red R32 that Taka was driving.
Four cars takes a lot of time. Plus we wanted to lean on Brian’s car a bit harder. We had two OS88 with emotional difficulties(see this post). As always still real work, cars to sell, and life to manage.
Brian’s engine, all together and running fine. Lets take it out and change a bunch of things! March 20th
We put the vented hood from Seibon on Brians car. Cooling is so important for a track car. So important here in SoCal
Vented Seibon hood for R32 GT-R. One of several styles they have
KTS R32 stock airbox hardpipe kit. Its a tough fit, but helps with the rear turbo inlet collapsing.
Ernie removing a perfectly good engine, so we can change some things. April 9th
You can see with a factory inlet pipe, how close it sits to the outlet of the front turbo on an RB26dett April 11th
OEM turbo outlet tubes on N1 turbos. You can see these are the small or narrow 02 sensors.
The front diffuser that we ran on the Stagea, with the modified OS88 transmission crossmember
We were going to swap Brian’s rear subframe for an S14 one, but we ran out of time
Checklists are important. You get tired, you forget things. I like paper and pen.

OS88 broken down, mostly.
Looking at the reverse gear, the counter gear that engages when you select reverse in the OS88
The back of a “stock RB 26. There is one water line, two air lines. One was looking a bit crusty April 10th
Long nose injectors. the small tube is used for the factory boost gauge. Just the gauge, the ECU doesn’t see boost from the factory
You can see the collector at the top, the rear disconnected line is for factory boost control. You can also see the AAC, or idle control box. Under that is the OEM oil pressure sensor. The braided line is for the cooler/remote oil filter locator.
