It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Holy shit, what can you possibly buy for $60k?

That's insane. I could replicate that whole car for $60k

If you could make it physically look like for $60K goodluck to ya and I guarantee it wont run 8 sec passes. The amount of time that goes into RnD into this car is ridiculous, labour alone would cost that much if I had to pay a workshop to do build this car.

I've definitely built a few 8 and 9 second cars so I know what's involved. I'm not trying to detract from your build at all....it is truly an awesome specimen....but I can't see where $60k would go on an engine

Doesn't take long when you buy top shelf parts, the limited edition HKS T62R Turbo when it was first released was 7k, but we got it for $6500. Well worth the money but, so many people doubted us if we could run a 8sec pass with the small frame turbo (everybody usually runs those big monstrosities GT42 / GT47's). So far we have done it with a full weight 1500kg car and only running 3/4 of the power available and a H Pattern Manual Gearbox. Turbo is so responsive and the engine has a massive powerband, full boost at 6500rpm and can run the engine out to 11000rpm if need be. 4500rpm to play with makes for an exciting drive, world record will be ours just a matter of getting to willow bank and more practice and playing with the settings. Only got 4 runs at Jambo first time racing at willowbank, first 2 runs were test runs, 3rd run was 8.97sec and 4th run gearbox failed weekend over. 0.02sec of Theo's world record bring on Jambo 2013. .

Ross balancer and valve springs turned up today, I'm collecting quite alot of parts at the moment, only just realised this the other day before I came back out to work lol. Getting hard to find certain things now.

Just waiting on some parts from America now, and mulling over wether or not I should fork out for some 740cc Nismo injectors or just leave the 555cc's for now

For the price of them Cal just buy a set of Xspuirt / Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors they are not that expensive anymore, I'm gonna try get the old 2200cc out of the R32 flow tested and bang them in the SR20 hopefully the are all good save me a few dollars.

I love when cars parts turn up in the mail it's like Xmas lol, I must have a lot a Xmas's then.... nearly every week :)

2200's in the SR? What power are you going to be running :/ lol

I want Nismo's again but I may settle for something else. Get some cash back for my 555's anyway

Do yourself a favour and bin the Nismo injectors. They are such an old design. The car will run so much better on the new Bosch or Siemens injectors

I always thought the nismo's had one of the best spray patterns and were pretty well regarded that's why I went with them

Maybe I will look elsewhere now :)

They are just a Denso injector. Poor latency at idle, poor spray pattern in general (not as bad as some but by today's standards pretty average)

Only thing it doesn't have is the wider rear guards, I can live with that I think, would be fun to have a 4 door and smoke everything and de-badge all the skyline badges off it and just leave the GTR badges on people will think i'm a retard until I put my foot down and leave-em in the dust :)

Time for another skyline I think been so long since I had one, will make a great edition to my Nissan family

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
