Alexey_Maruschak Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I know only two sites with a huge amount of knowledge and dedicated to Pathfinder / Terrano / QX4 - Russian terranoirk.ru and American npora.com But nowhere is there any information like R50 participation in the rally. Riding can be not only fast on asphalt or 35-gauge on off-road wheels, but also fast off-road. For me, if the car performs in a rally team, then it is at the peak of performance in the performance of its model. Where else can you find such a concentration of engineers, money, time and energy around the question of how to drive quickly there where usually very few people go. I created this topic in order to gather in this topic technical solutions, characteristics of changes, photos and video R50 in the rally. And those who have something, let's lay out all the information about the ripe Pathfinder / Terrano / QX4 here. Unfortunately, there is very little technical information in the internet. Basically just photos and videos. For example, the rally Terrano R50 96-99 Japanese team: the VG33E engine with 170 hp, the rear suspension remained five-pin, on both axles of the tire size 215 / 85-16. And that's it! - This, of course, is not enough. It is clear that this is all for the rally teams was worth a lot of money, and somewhere a solution to the know-how, because to know all this to the owner of the R50 is interesting. About all technical solutions and draw conclusions you have to judge only by photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micahfelker Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Man I never thought I'd see an interior of an r5o set up like that! It's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citron Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The internal roll cage is interesting. I also like the support that they have to strengthen the strut mounts. Can't figure out why they did the air intake like that, seems excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 That's awesome! (And unheard of here in the US.) Citron, I think it's just be a big catch can for sand/dirt, where it just settles at the bottom without obstructing the filter (presumably cone shape).

Alexey_Maruschak Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Pay attention that none of the cars have a snorkel, and in the photo of the engine compartment there is no vacuum system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawairish Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Those are sweet. I like the look with the back windows covered up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjotrainbrain Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I think the 'van' look could be useful for overlanding too, gives you a lot more options for storage in the rear. Would probably involve a lot of custom bodywork and painting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Probably not as much work as you'd think. For these sort of trucks, much of the chassis probably remains untouched, only added to. Of course, for every amount of space they free up inside, they quickly consume. The external fuel tank is probably removed completely, and probably a pair of spare tires back there. Windows were probably just popped out and panels welded in. For overlanding, though, gutting out the rear would be very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPLORx4 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 The Russian R50 rally team retrofitted or modified the suspension with beefier rear links and stronger front control arms. I'm also guessing that the struts are also not something you can get off the shelf at your average auto parts retailer. For rally competitions, the entire interior is gutted and retrofitted for rally purposes. Weight reduction is key, because they're adding back a lot of weight with spare parts, etc. That engine looks like a Diesel power plant, not a petrol engine (VG35). That's also a very nice radiator!

I reckon that's a VG33. You can see the two cylinder heads on either side, and the intake manifold seems to match. It's definitely not a TD series diesel, looks nothing like those, and the turbo should be where the air filter is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
