It was an auto only tip. Basically I had one foot on the brake and the other stalling it up but the tip was to use the handbrake as well so as to hold it stronger. Got about 150 extra rpm which got me about 5 psi boost off the line.

I also utilised previous 2rismo tips in doing 3rd gear burnouts. Tyres were nice and warmed up although a couple of times when the burnout wasn't quite as big I found out how far down the track the prep went. Top of 2nd gear wheel spins anyone? It doesn't even do that on the street with my shitty Falkans.

the old hand brake routine, yep been using that one for a while, helped my sixty foots emensly, though its time to tighten it up again.

I think it was a low 1.9 but I got a high 1.8 on another run but accidentally short changed 1st gear and made up for that blunder by hitting the rev limiter in 2nd giving a crap time instead of what it could have been.

If I had known you were keen I would have let you know Brad. There was a few spare spots. I'll pm you if I see something come up.

I keep forgetting to bring the timeslip in to work to scan.

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
