1985 Nissan Bluebird TRX

Hey, Just signed up here

hoping to head down for the khanacross on the 19th
I've done a motorkhana before in a auto toyota supra and a couple of superkhanas in a mazda 121
basically the supra was useless for track being auto and weighing 1700kg, so i got bored sold it and bought a project

this will be my first time racing on dirt so should be interesting but really looking forward to it

this is how the car looked when i bought it
dodgy camera phone spec pics




1985 Nissan Bluebird TRX
basically its a CA20 completely stock 5 speed manual
cost me a whole $650 only had one owner runs perfect even still got the original spare keys never been used with plastic covers

So far what ive done to it is stripped out the rear half of the interior, done the dual swaybar mod, installed a couple of fire extinguishers, aftermarket steering wheel, new plugs and leads and hit it with some paint

plan is to upgrade the suspension with s13 coilovers, hubs and brakes, front strutbrace and upgrade the front swaybar, i still need to remove the sound deadening from rear of the interior as well, will eventually fit a half cage too. Once the suspension and brakes are done it will also be getting a ca18det

I also need to add another return spring to the throttle is that just a matter of drillig a couple of holes next to the existing spring? and adding another?

this is how it looks now, havent got any pics of the interior at the moment will upload some when i get home tonight
I painted the bottom half while very drunk and painted the rims lol







Still somewat bunky but looks better than when i got it lol

could be my ahg computers but you pics arent loadin mate, but sounds good, be great to see you at the khanacross, and hopefully the busy bee on the saturday (we cant race until the tracks ready so the more hands the better)..

hmm they are working on mine blame ahg

I would love to come down saturday and help out but unfortunately i live in perth and my wife has just recently had our 2nd baby so i'm not too keen on leaving her overnight.

haha, ok living in perths a bad excuse i live past joondalup and still manage to get down. even went down last night for a 2 hour meeting.... but your wife havin a baby is a decent excuse, although we are a family friendly club.....look forward to seeing you at the event mate, ill be in a sexy blue excel!!!!

Good to see another, almost Datsun coming along!! I think the CA20 is fuel injected & controlled by a computer, If thats the case you don't need double return springs. They are only required on carbies. Hope that helps.

na its the ca20s definately carby

OK If your'e not sure how to set up another spring, just bring one along & I or someone else will do it for you. Its the country mate, nothing is too hard or stressful. See ya there, IN A DATTO!!!

awesome thanks really looking forward to it need to find somewhere to practice lol

havent got a welded diff yet either so will be interesting

ok gonna try to come down saturday only catch is i work saturday until 1 so it will have to be after i finish that i head down so would get into bunbury prob around 4ish, this is also pending having enough money to stay somewhere lol

highway hotel under $50 give them a call, its less than 10 mins to the track also. 97214966

sweet as thanks for that,

out of curiosity what is the best option for tyres at the moment i only have normal road tyres ( i have about 16 of them but) should i just find the 4 chunkiest ones?

what size are you running?

depending which i put on 205-65 15 or 195-65 15 or somethin glike that i know they are 195 or 205 and i know they are 15's no sure about the profile but

if you wana run some decent rally tyres, i can organise a set of 15"s for cheap. road tyres will be fun, but not fast, way to much understeer followed by plenty of over steer and a stupid amount of wheel spin..

hmm if u could get me a price that would be great cant guarantee i'll buy them but hoping rudds money will come through or my supra will sell this week

Man, I'll be camping at the track Saturday night, Free, toilet & shower, drink as much as you like & don't have to drive anywhere. I have some 15's on 180SX rims if you want to try them. I am in Falcoon, on your way down. I can leave them out back & PM you my address if you want. At least you will find out the difference before you fork out coin. Let me know.

camping sounds like an awesome plan.

and yer if i could try them out that would be sweet be good to see the difference between normal and rally

so we gonna see the might trx on the 17th kyle?????

if i get off my ass and rebuild the motor mayb lol

stop being slck man, hahaha youve only got liek 3 weeks!!!

lol i know i know i'll bring the exa if bluebiird isnt ready lol no big deal

hahaha with sump gaurd? lol

lol something like that or go faster so i float over the ruts

hahahaha yer that will work kyle
