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

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
