That's right - if you use the wrong seals and boost the fark out of it - and don't listen to your engine builders suggestions for engine longevity. Bit like an RB really :)

Except that the percentage of rotor drivers who do what you say are much higher than the percentage of RB drivers.. :blink:

Seems to be an addiction for some... boost, break, rebuild, repeat.... :D

hahah I heard an interesting number the other day.

28

Thats how many engines the White's did in their Skyline to win targa. Once. At say $5k each thats.....a lot of money on rb rebuilds.

And lets not forget that since they wouldn't have been cheating, each of those motors died with only standard boost.

maybe they were running without oil to save weight? :domokun: seriously though that's gotta hurt the hip pocket!

any motor will die if you push it hard enough, interestingly mazda's next rotary will be a clean-sheet design. there is not enough left in the renesis to tweak it for the next model.

OK - going in for final tune tomorrow !

This is today's effort:

Upgraded the Cosmo fuel pump from the standard Denso pump to dual Walbros - The denso pump is pretty good spec actually- when I took it out I did some google research on it. But 2 x Walbros will give me more then enough flow for me - They are rated at 255L per hour each.

Here are some pics:

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
