Dash instruments look great.

actual Dash loods good too.. has it been painted black?

Interior retrim is not what I'd do but at least it's new..

so being an 89 model.. let me know when you decide to sell it for $9K.. LOL..

very nicely built car mate.

Jnr32r,

Im a drag person myself wanna get my 11second pass , though I may take it to a track day as yet dont know .

GTST

Yeah looks pretty standard under there ceptin for the shinny bits ,its a 93 model there just the plates I got from the rta ,I had a laugh about that too,yes dash is painted black as is most of the trim barring the inserts and seats ,I went with the red and black because there are so many others out there that have gone with the tans and whites and others like beige I wanted this to look fairly standard but neat and along the lines of the car as there not a great deal of red's i got to choose from that was fairly close to the colour of the car and wanted a standard material as well (I recon leather sweats to much and I hate cleaning windows I've had leather trim b4) and it keeps in contrast with the dash as well being red and black.Gee is it worth that much I was gonna sell it for less :huh: and thanks it was alot of work

Sleepyboi

Thanks mate glad you like it :rofl:

Moanie

Close call last night ,went for a drive upto Taree to visit a mate and do the finial stage of running in the engine was coming back and just near nabic a damn kangaroo jumped out in front of me and the car in front Damn !!!!! quick lock up and swerved onto shoulder to avoid collision with 2 legged jumping marsupial i think it attually jumped over drivers side of the bonnet since the speed limit there is 110klms I think I was fairly lucky maybe just a few stone chips from road side gravel, the amusing part about this is I traveled that road for near 10 years twice a week between Sydney and Brisbane and never came close to hitting a roo but take my toy up there just once and our native emblem tries to write me of dont they know I just finished the damn thing would someone please tell em . Feel better now had my Rave !!!!!!

Hi GoldZilla

Its now a 2.1 ltr been bored 40thou or 79mm and has an rb25 crank which makes it 2108cc and thanks for the complement

Peter

That's awesome considering the displacement has only increased by 100cc - obviously you've put a lot of time and thought into the modification process!

All credit to you, you deserve it.

Hi Roy

Yes, still useing the hks 40mm external wastegate on the hks manifold,I'm useing a hks exhaust I think its called a hypermax or something cant get my fat head far enough under the car to read it properly. I have a custom front pipe thats 3" with the external wastegate plumbed back into the exhaust just b4 a catco highflow cat the stainless steel barrel type bought it of BATMBL then its 3.5" through to the resinator and 4' to the barrel muffler

Hi GoldZilla

Thanks mate,my goal with this setup was in trying to get the lag time down which I think I've succeded with to an extent, which would there for bring the boost on earlier, and there would bring on the power earlier and give me a broader power base to work with.The turbo being a gt3040r is a big turbo on an rb20 at the best of times but it also has the .82 exhaust housing which I new would give me the higher end power, this is where all the porting of the head and flow honing of the cast manifold and both hot and cold sides of the turbo has helped to acheive this as it starts in positive vacume at around 2000rpm

Cheers Peter

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
