Wow, great times there scott d. (for a 4 cylinder :D )

Didn't you get a chance to drive, typerlc?

No ... and I'm pretty dissappointed about that! Too busy collecting money, flagging and all that sort of sh*t.

And while I know you're joking Duncan, for the record, my stock ITR (DC2R or old one for the uninitiated) does low 12s with semis (I was hoping to say 11s ... I'm close, but not quite there yet). Of course track conditions play a big part in good times. And they weren't the best on the day (not bad in the arvo, but still cold).

How did your race go Duncan?

Low 12s is pretty bloody quick too, that's all I can do in the skyline. Those type rs are sweet handling cars, they just need a turbo :D

I should have gone to this instead, I ended up with 5th, 6th and a broken driveshaft :)

Good to see the numbers were better than expected.

Who needs a turbo with performance like this: http://www.vtec.net/articles/view-article?...ticle_id=101836

For those that can't be bothered following the link, it's a new ITR engine (4cyl, 2.0L, NA) making 260 WHP with more to come :)

I'm having second thoughts about posting this in the lion's den. Ahhhh ... you only live once :)

Well, that's a huge output there. approx 260kw at flywheel?

I do like to 170nm torque peak at 5,500rpm :D - wouldn't want to drive up a hill!

Seriously though, that is a huge power output, but you'd have to admit it would be pretty unfriendly anywhere except a race track.

Hmmm ... your math has gone awry somewhere. Torque peak was 173 lb ft ... ~ 234 Nm. Still not turbo-like, but nothing to sneeze at.

:uhh:

You mean they don't talk metric over there? 234nm is much better, but its where it comes in that worries me! I guess it revs to 9k tho.

You guys will see the light one day :)

heh these are the lights they normally see  :uh-huh:  

Hehehe.

Yep ... that's them. Why do skylines seem to always be on the brakes. It's a bit distracting when you're passing slower cars to have their brake lights always flashing you. At least they're courteous enough to pull over when they see a real car approaching.

In case that's not clear ... maybe it's time to refresh yourself with the results:

:):P;) :bahaha: :D :D :D

(oh god, what have I got myself into?:))

Hey, how can hondas be so fast when you guys leave your engines in your basements?

Hmmmm ... Duncan, I'm sure that thread says more about Skyline owners than Honda ones. :D

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
