    Sounds like a plan. Where should I be spraying the silicone? I'm not very familiar with electrical motors and don't know where the bearings are. Should I spray into any of the areas I've indicated?

    Ah, I think I misunderstood you earlier. I bench tested the motor again putting 1.5V through it, when it didn't spin I gave it a nudge and it started spinning. When you mentioned the PCB issue, I assumed there must be an external control unit for the motor and as it still failed on the bench then I thought it wasn't a PCB issue. There might be a PCB inside, but I'm not sure how to further strip the motor down. This is only as far as I've got. I tried to gently pull the motor assembly upwards but it's pretty snuggly in there.

    Thanks for doing the leg work in FAST. I'm thinking I'll just roll the $50 dice and see how I go.

    Yep, its a great track. The change in elevation is really fun.

    Hi all, I have an issue where my heater blower motor stopped working. I removed the blower motor (and cleaned the 30 years of filth out of it) and bench tested it by putting 12 volts through it. Worked like a champion. Tried to test it again with 1.5 volts, wouldn't turn at all. I connected it up in the car and turned the fan on. Nothing. Turned up the fan speed, nothing again regardless of the fan speed setting. However once I gave the fan a little nudge, it would spin up like a champ. All 4 fan speed settings worked once the fan was already up and running. It's just an issue of getting it to initially turn on its own. There is one other small issue though, once the fan is up and running, it makes a slight continuous tick/clicking noise in operation. So I was wondering, does anyone know if the GU Patrol heater blower motor fits the R33? Looking at photos it seems identical and they are only about $50 on ebay. Failing that, are there businesses that are able to rebuild my blower motor? I'd prefer that to picking up a second hand part and I can't find anyone that stocks new R33 blower motors.

    Where did you source that little beauty?

    This might be the way you can keep your .6 motor https://bulletraceengineering.com.au/shop/rb30sx/ Now it's 3.6 litre xD

    There will be a heap of mechanics that have tooling to make up hard brake lines. I would bet that any workshop that specialises in older cars, say restoring old MG's, would have tooling to make up hard lines. It should be cheap and easy to get something made up for you. Having said that, I don't know anyone that has bothered to make up hard lines when there are braided lines readily available that do the same thing.

    I'll just leave this here

    The dry sump tank can be install in the engine bay, this might be some inspiration for you - https://jordanleist.com/2018/06/15/the-power-and-the-passion-an-1181rwhp-nissan-r32-gtr/

    I'd love to see photos once that's done
  13. Murray_Calavera
    Looks really good, do you mind putting up some photos of how it was mounted?

    Number 8 sounds pretty sexy, do you know if it can start/stop logging to PC or does it only start/stop logging to onboard memory?

    To be fair, I went looking for a rebuild kit for the RB25 clutch master cylinder... Couldn't find anyone that had one. So I just grabbed a new one from GKtech for $86 and figured no one sells rebuild kits for them when you can buy an entire new one for such a low price. https://au.gktech.com/products/gearbox-clutch-components/clutch-masters/hfm-clutch-master-cylinder-s14-s15-r33

    Trust me mate, you've got way more important things in your life to spend your time thinking about. Both rims are 18x8 with 30 offset. Put some tyres on and forget about it.
  17. Murray_Calavera
    Cars all over the world are frequently having the wheels rotated front to back to even out tyre wear. I'm thinking a front rim and rear rim is something like a right handed and left handed screwdriver. You didn't have to measure your rims, they are both 18 inches rims, 8 inches wide with a 30 offset. What were you measuring when you were trying to find discrepancies between the rims? Looks like the only thing you need to sort out is a matching set of rubber for them. But if this was just a troll post, good job mate you got me.

    Nice, I haven't seen that done before. Is there an advantage of using a 4D table vs a compensation table or is it purely an ease of use thing?
  19. Murray_Calavera
    Is the car still on a flex setup or is it straight e85 now? Looking at the base timing makes me feel anxious (thinking there is more timing in it from the e85 compensation table) but if that base timing is pretty much the total amount of timing then I can sleep at night again lol.

    Yep, master cylinder failed about 10km from home. So it was a cheap and quick tow home. I'm becoming an old man, I'd rather just get it towed then stuff about trying to drive it without a clutch lol.

    Just did a round of time attack at Lakeside, unopened RB25 making about 350KW on E85, at the end of the day I cracked the drain on the catch can and not a drop came out
  22. Murray_Calavera
    I suggest a manual conversion lol

    I have a feeling that if the OP's mechanical skillset is at a point where he thinks its ok to install higher flowing injectors while running a stock ECU, while he stated that 'nothing went wrong', I have a feeling that something did in fact go wrong during the install however his mechanical knowledge didn't allow him to realise that something was not done correctly/was damaged/etc. If that is the case, it would probably make the most sense to take the car to a workshop for them to troubleshoot.

    Depending on cost and if it looked 100% factory, I would be interested.

    It does sound like you'll need to get a seat. With your fix back seat and 4 point harness (with anti-submarining) using the baby seat restraints there is another thing to consider too... In the event of a rollover, you will be held in a bolt-upright position. There is a strong possibility that the roof will cave in, put pressure on the top of your helmet and crush your spine. I really hate to be the safety police as this stuff is a matter for yourself. I just want you to have all of the information available for when you make your decision so you can decide what level of risk you are prepared to take. Safety is a long list of things you can do, full cage, 6 point harness, hans device, fire suppression system, battery isolation, sexy (pricy) helmets and race suits.... But at the end of the day we accept the level of risk we want to take. I would say fixed back seat, half cage and harness are the starting point and form a system as they all work together.
