have any of you guys actually had rb rebuilds at boost worx by sean?

busky - where are they located?

I know of a 'few' people who own some nice cars in there and very decent job by Shuan at boostworx. These cars are a little more than 'rebuilds', but quality and service is good :wave:

I'd say Shaun/Boostworx as well - as far as I know Nisspeed does the machining, not sure about assembly

Tilbrooks use Rhemac for machining, not sure about assembly.

Never heard of anyone using Willall

Not sure of anyone with RB24 experience either, has anyone else heard of one being machined up in SA?

I've seen Pete's work on RB engine. If and when my RB stuff up I will send it down to them. Great bunch of people with vast amount of knowledge and experience who stand up for their work/word.

defamation tsk tsk
Defamation law and free speech

The law of defamation is supposed to protect people's reputations from unfair attack. In practice its main effect is to hinder free speech and protect powerful people from scrutiny.

The basic idea of defamation law is simple. It is an attempt to balance the private right to protect one's reputation with the public right to freedom of speech. Defamation law allows people to sue those who say or publish false and malicious comments.

before whinging about defamation look @ what it is i never once said anything about tills so i didnt say anything that wasnt true

i will say he was very willing to have a look and help but... didnt end up helping :D /end of storey

I was impressed when I visited Rhemac Motors. Definitely give them a call I say...

I remember a while back (a good 2-3years) Mark I think his name is (owner of tilbrooks) said they get Rhemac motors do their motors.

EDIT: Chris32 beat me to it. :D

John Moyle Engineering just off main nth rd.

they have all the machinery, and experience to build motors on site and within 2 weeks.

why take it to a dyno place and pay them a commision to get someone else to build your engine.

it dosent make sense to me!

The engine builder at John Moyle has been building speeedway and drag engines for 25 years.

and definately knows his stuff..

They did a great job of my rb25 and kept in touch with me thru out the build process.

They did all the machining on site except getting the crank ballanced. (Chris Milton)

they installed my new JUN crank collar, ACL forged pistons, Eagle H beam rods,

ARP main, big end, and head studs and then assembled the motor, all at a very good

price.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
