Riggers' Primera P10 trackcar

[jamie rigby]

I thought i'd do a little progress thread on here maybe it could inspire someone else to get a 90s touring car and do similar to what i'm going to do with this aha. I've taken depsoit on my DC2 and this is it's replacement, bought cheap off a mate who's completed 4 trackdays faultlessly apart from a radiator and rear pads that's all he had to replace, he's fitted some S14 4 pots that now need new discs and pads which i'm in the middle of sorting, and the tyres are right on the markers so ordered some Federal RSR's just for now on these wheels. The cars been hit on the offside rear so it could do with a new rear quarter ideally but with it being a trackcar it's getting left for now, the bootlids rusty around the spolier too from people opening and closing the bootlid using the spolier as a handle they're known for working loose and rotting around the bases aparently. The cars on less than 100k and its pretty much rust free apart from on the offside front wing so its a perfect base for progress.

So breif spec of the car -

150bhp SR20DE, uses no oil and revs to 7500rpm
ebay manifold, quite large bore tbh looks to be ~2'' primaries)
powerflow catback, sounds nice but needs a decat now to louden it a tad
Ramair filter
Shocks and springs, fronts are damper adjustable the rears don't seem to work aha
16x7" Team Dynamics PR 1.2s, abit battered and the fronts are different offset to the rears for some reason
S14 4 pots
Grooved rear discs

Lots of parts gathered and on order, so afew pics (of its good side haha) and i'll come back to progress in a couple of weeks just before a trackday at Cadwell Park

Please paint it up like a '90's BTCC Primera!

 

[Euan94]

Love that, I’ve had similar thoughts about doing it with a accord type R. Something special about a 4 door track car

 

[Paul172sport]

Looks good base. Sure you'll have loads fun.
Just needs.....

[massiveCoRbyn]

Bet that's a right laugh. A mate bought one of these years ago for about £200 and it just seemed to go on and on.

 

[FatRS]

Please paint it up like a '90's BTCC Primera!

I came close to buying a white one to do just that for trackdays but in the end I got a 172.

 

[JB21]

See one if these at Oulton. In fact its the same one, lol!

 

[jamie rigby]

See one if these at Oulton. In fact its the same one lol!

I was on that day in my dc2 too, he's one of my longest mates I didn't want him to get rid of it haha, too good of a car for me to not get my hands on it being the best base/chassis of any 90s supetourer saloon with proven reliability, winner!

Cheers for the replies, i can't bring myself to btcc wrap it though as I don't have a 50k budget to built a proper supertourer rep haha

 

[jamie rigby]

So, fully stripped bar the radio and front door cards, buckets i bought for the nova and harnesses out of my Zetec-S and XR2 bought back with the car as he had them both off me, bolted to the floor using recaro sidemounts nice and low reason for the massive sunstrip aha, notched the original 'seatmount channel' to get the seat sitting bang on and central to the steering wheel, note the damage on the OSR quarter aha, also fitted my OMP wheel -

Couple more bits to do before Cadwell next wednesday!

 

[AS_BO]

This is all sorts of awesome, I often find myself looking P10/11 Primera’s on eBay - just isn’t many about at all anymore.

Can’t wait to see how this unfolds!

 

[Goodj]

Holy s**t.
I thought all of these were dead in piles.

f**king AWESOME!

If you'd like some track vinyls, let me know

 

[JB21]

Good progress, love to see something a bit different than the norm at track days. All you see these days is Clio's, Meg's & Type R's.

 

[jamie rigby]

Well Cadwell was bags of fun even with it being 4-5seconds a lap slower than the Teg in the corners it was still mega, i fitted some bluestuff pads last weekend, wish i opted for different pads now as the compound on the disc was building up after afew laps causing juddering, a lap of cooling down mid session seemed to clear it a tad, need to fit some brake ducts before the next, anyways afew pics and a little 5minute edit -

Camera was a little shakey Youtubes cured it but the sounds still there aha, enjoy!

 

[Mr Burns]

That looks good fun, and doesn't look underpowered either. Really like the Primera GT, I nearly bought one a couple of years back with the same intentions of using it as a track toy.

i ordered some BC coilovers afew weeks ago with stiffer spring rates that what they usually come with, 10kg front 8kg instead of 8kg front and 5kg rear, each around 2kgs lighter than the shocks and springs that were on it, the fronts are a b*****d because of the upper wishbone you have to strip everything down to adjust the height, the rear needs coming down to match the front once they've settled i'll do that along with adjusting the rear toe and getting some new tyres for the 17s that i've aquired, arches rolled and camber bolts fitted on the rear -

[Steven103]

As others have said, brilliant to see something different and even more so of the 90s everyday-saloon nature

 

[Daz...]

That looks ace with that drop!

 

[Scrooge]

I really like this

 

[Bluebeard]

I love these, never had a go on one though. My mate had one with a massive cone filter and it absolutely howled at full chat.
He smashed it up before I got a go in it though.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Really do love this. Looks spot on now.

 

[Donny_Dog]

Lowered, it looks the tits.

 

[Djw Dave]

That looks fantastic! Love a bit of 90's BTCC cars

 

[20vKarlos]

I’m hoping this gets so lairy colours thrown at it or gets plastered in stickers!

I’ll be keeping an eye on this one ??

 

[jamie rigby]

Cheers for the replies, hopefully it may inspire someone else to get another 90s saloon other than BMWs and come/get into trackdays haha

I found some perfect fitting 17s (17x7 ET40) for sale only 30mins away, buzzing i've managed to find genuine fake centre locks haha, fitted with 205-40 Michelin PS4s, lowered 5mm on the rear and alignment sorted for now -

20180723_201938 by jamie rigby, on Flickr

managed to unseize the rear toe arms with a 2ft breaker bar haha. It doesnt look that low but the sumps about 50mm off the floor and the exhaust needs looking at as its like an inch off the floor, i'm going to EFI Parts soon to see how the map looks to see if it'll take a new exhaust that'll be good for future mods also.

More soon!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

TSW Evo-R - retro!

 

[Danith]

beast. was tempted to buy this ripper.

 

[Scrooge]

That looks great! Wheels suit it really well

 

[Djw Dave]

The best car on here at the min, so retro BTCC

 

[cat171]

I keep thinking it needs to have the max power logo on the sunstrip.. and a set of M3 mirrors.

It looks mighty fine on the Evo R's though !

 

[Ricardos]

The best car on here at the min, so retro BTCC

+1 was thinking this yesterday, so independant BTCC Nissan. Just waiting for the 100+ Qualifier sunstrip on the next update.

 

[Darren S]

Great work - nice alternative purchase to the usual stuff too!

Looks slightly old skool Skyline-ish from that frontal shot above?

It does need a BTCC half screen sunstrip!

 

[DanMateX]

Love this. I missed out on Almera with the same engine a while back

 

[jamie rigby]

went on the rollers with Chris at EFI last night -

20180815_210134 by jamie rigby, on Flickr

book figures are 148PS and 132lbs ft so its bang on, running a tad lean though so i'm going to order an adjustable FPR to up the fuel pressure then i can get a new exhaust made, then it should crack 150bhp and sound abit quieter and wont be as low as it's literally an inch off the floor atm!

plated the sunroof over too with some ally, saving another 4-5kgs, need to paint it in a garage to stop ay crap blowing on it -

20180811_161235 by jamie rigby, on Flickr

More soon!

 

[cat171]

Wicked!!
I didn't realise the sun strip was that deep, can you see where you're going ??

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

I love how virtually every sporty 2.0-litre four pot in the mid-90s made about 150bhp. Astra GSI, Escort RS2000, Golf GTI 16v, Primera GT, Ibiza 16v, 306 XSI, they all seemed to do it.

 

[NaplesValver]

This is epically good. This is screaming out for a heart transplant, turbo lump from an 200sx maybe?

I’m now going to have a look on eBay and see what there is out there, got my birthday coming up soon and it would be a shame to ask for mundane s**t when I could have cash monies and a new toy [emoji23]

Although the livery is later than yours, I was always a fan of this look.

I've always been a fan of these. There's one not far from me on the wqy to work that's been lowered and it just looks cool. Will get a pic if a I remember.

 

[millhouse]

Love the car nice to see something retro and not the norm, got me checking out eBay and found a Laguna BTCC replica item number 123315573920 for anyone who wants a look

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Ahem...
