Stock plenum and air box.

Love it!! :)

is this an 89 model?

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

    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
