It's alright, good to use the car instead of looking at it. Will upload my PB lap soon, just trying to see why I can't get any of the telemetry from the VIRB. Probs dropped it a few too many times lol.

Thanks mate, I might try hitting it with engine enamel black. Might make blend in a bit more. Test and Learn tonight, pray to all the 33 gods out there, and the Skyline gods nothing breaks or fails.

Made a temporary, maybe temporary permanent heatshield for the ABS pump, loom wiring. Should stop things melting on the circuit after a few laps. It's a bit ugly, but better than a pile of molten wiring at the track. If money permits, might use those Real Thermal guys and wrap the gate, housing and dump.

Ross Power Steering Idler Kit
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Dose Pipe Sutututu's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Added spacers to clear the AC belt and had do remove the spring washers on the bolt side to allow it to clear the PS belt. Fun times, not. Piece of shit car, always spannering the lump of shit before events. There's about 8mm of clearance to the fan blade, camera angle makes it look much closer. Will trade for a F80 LCI M3 if anyone is keen? -
Ross Power Steering Idler Kit

It seems they didn't design this for RB25 motors with AC, or thoroughly test fitment on all combinations and permutations. Then again their target market are heavies. -
Ross Power Steering Idler Kit

So yesterday, giving the car an once over before tomorrow night's event I noticed something rather alarming. The Ross PS idler actually fouls the AC compressor belt. You can see the scoring on the lower belt. I tried using the RB26 spacer included in the kit but it ends up only supporting 2/3s of the belt and the other 1/3 overhangs. Either approach is going to be good for tomorrow night so I ended up using a 4mm or so washer and packing out the bracket to move the idler forward. Seems clear everything now, however the idler bracket bolts are now really close to the PS belt itself. (Didn't take photos of this, finished up late night and just wanted to go to sleep). I've contacted Ross Performance and hoping they are able to machine down the RB26 spacer, here's hoping they reply at all lol... I'll take a photo of what I've done tonight when I'm back home. -
Evo chopped itself, exhaust manifold cracked. NA 4G63T lol.. Nah, would still take a F80 LCI M3 if someone is retarded enough to swap.

Took the shit box out with other shit boxes. Smashed the limiter again in 2nd a few times, I still haz PS belt. Great success.

Convince me not to buy an R32 GTR

What you on about? We all know VW came out with a R32 😂😂😂 Maybe whoever at the RMS put in Amarok instead. -
If it works for @34GeeTeeTee and @bcozican on their tracks1ut cars then it should work for my shit box. PS idler seems to be doing its job, and yeah some brap footage just because.

So far seems ok, went to put in 98RON just then too. Car now on E23, and in standard Dose fashion smashed the limiter on the way home. Belt still on. -
One thing to note, fitting a decent sized turbo with that manifold will require you to trim part of the engine mount area. I believe @WARLORDdid this a decade or so ago, maybe closer to 2x? Lol.

Andrew Hawkins? Does it have a Western Sydney Mode too? LOLOLOL.. There are similarities between your car and Brad's car I must say.

I am noticing a trend here, MoTec + RB25 NEO head + GTS-t = fast track car lol.

GTS-ts are cool ummkay, look at Bradley Sheriff, got put in the naughty corner for going sub 2m09s and then had his lap time removed. All the Ford/Holden (inserts nice words) would have had a sook big time if they didn't.
