R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project
robbo_rb180 replied to r32-25t's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Hopefully it's just a loose coolant line fitting that needs tightening or some sealant on an adapter. -
Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx
robbo_rb180 replied to robbo_rb180's topic in Motorsport Builds
Next Time Attack event just checked fluids, tyre pressures and added a few litres of fuel. Nice cool morning and right amount of sun had a heap of people setting PB's. I set a new PB on QR Clubman layout 58.68 which was awesome but had a few issues so normal track day. Had clamps coming loose off intercooler pipes and ended up blowing a decent whole in a silicone. I had a new silicone in the shed but also ordered a heap of constant tension clamps and got it all swapped. Video from that day, had a weird issue with gopro not recording audio Built a mezzanine in the shed for all the junk Did some more yard stuff with area for water tank, stones around the shed and driveway edge. over 4m3 of road base and stones ,oved by hand Got the shed epoxy floor done Next up was King of QR. So car got a good going over with new engine oil and filter, brake bleed, inspect pads, wheel rotation, full bolt check and wheel alignment. King of QR 2023 Great event and did really well, class was stacked with 3 new Supra's with great drivers and a WTAC Hyundai. Car performed great and turned it upto around 20psi which definitely made it move. Ended up finishing 2nd in class around 1.2 seconds behind 1st and 0.052 ahead of 3rd. Which is crazy after all 4 different layouts of QR National 1:19.442 Clubman 58.932 Sprint 56.229 Sportsman 56.618 on board for national layout Car needs a good going over will change all fluids and potentially need to pull the gearbox to inspect clutch and replace the 5th/reverse selector fork. For a 30 year old car it performed so well against $100+K new cars. Got Morgan Park time attack mid next month which is an amazing track and should suit the 180sx well. -
r34 gtt bosch knock sensors
robbo_rb180 replied to flyingsquirel's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Run new shielded twin core too. One wire to ecu knock input, other to sensor ground. -
Broscience works, what tyres you on again? Also add mk4 supra to swap list. People are starting to get them dialled up here with coilovers, tyres and brake pads they are quick.

Yeah for a car thats driving and running fine its more effort. Goodluck, looking forward to see how much quicker you go.

FYP 😋 The IC7 is so overpriced as a display. The Aim stuff is great and can send info back to ecu over CAN for when run out of ecu inputs. When is next track day for HMAS Shiet Bok?

Brake upgrade - EVO vs Alcon or similar
robbo_rb180 replied to kitto's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
I have a evo setup but yet to use it. Compared to a mates AP kit which are so much lighter. Go the Alcons -
Saw the video and looks like a great little track. With the glare I have found mounting the camera a bit higher up and slight tilt down helps a lot. I'll link a video I used to set my gopro up and my setting are under it for In Car, I use a different settings for out of car. My Video settings FPS: 2.7K Lens: Superview Hypersmooth: Off Scheduled Capture: Off Duration: No Limit Hindsight: Off Timer: Off Zoom: 1x PROTune Settings Bit Rate: High Shutter: Auto EV Comp: -1 White Balance: Auto ISO min: 100 ISO max: 400 Sharpness: Low Colour: Flat RAW Audio: Off Wind: Off Hope that helps you a bit

1993 R32 GTS 4-lug to 5-lug conversion
robbo_rb180 replied to oversided's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Rears will work depending on what handbrake backing plate you use. Some bearings have an a stand off on top and some are plain so require right one. -
Rust on the wheel wells - should i be concerned?
robbo_rb180 replied to kevboost7's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
Remove old coating, wire wheel affected areas and treat with product, prep and reseal with your choice of product. Depends how deep the rust goes may need to do some patch panels. Had similar on one of my cars and did the above, used a underbody coating after treating and repairing sections. -
Anyone running Ohlin coilovers?
robbo_rb180 replied to kevboost7's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
https://mcasuspension.com/ https://www.shockworks.com.au/ Contact one of these companies, listen to what they say and buy the recommended product. Nothing is cheap when it comes to good suspension -
In Qld if you sell more than 6 cars a year generally you will require a dealers licence. I bet its one of the kids that has access to large sums of dollars from "undisclosed parties" that buys cars and flips them from industrial sheds. Buyer beware as some of those types of cars go missing after being sold...........

RB26 #5 amd #6 compression low........rebuild time
robbo_rb180 replied to GohiraDave's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
The time and skill it takes to reverse engineer is hard for 98% of people that just want to plugin and go. Especially when it comes to displays and modules. We have a guy in Australia that has finally put out a how to for unlocking the link ecu password protection. For the OP who ever is tuning the car will recommend an ECU that they may be more comfortable/familiar with too so have a chat with them on what they use normally. With the turbos if not aiming for big power and want the stock look have a look at high flowing current turbo's, @hyper-gear have a great reputation over here. -
RB26 #5 amd #6 compression low........rebuild time
robbo_rb180 replied to GohiraDave's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
That model is so old. An elite series with knock control would be the go but need the silly patch harness. Link ecu do a g4x plugin with more functionality for a better price and not locked to one environment of product. -
use what ever centre you want and get Brock at Leeson Engineering to weld the 6 bolt/gtr/Z flange on them. Also 300zx TT shafts same as Gtr/Z and r230 is 31 spline so same as some 33 gtr with r200. Also Neat Gearbox do new harder gears, yes they are expensive but better than going through a heap of used 30 year gears. What IPRA car has the Z diff upgrade? did they use the gktech bushes or mod the sub frame?

Idle fluctuating then stalls
robbo_rb180 replied to Eric0's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
The 150A breaker is it a quality item? Thats a big current trip Does the afr change and go lean? sounds like a possible lean issue with popping or if rich check coil voltage. Check IACV resistance when cold and warm. Also disconnect and see if same issue occurs. Did you upgrade the alternator wiring when you did the upgrade? Check wiring at alternator as could have a steel/braided line running over the B+ terminal -
