Very nice Rod. For a stock VII, that sits very low. You also have a surround to the exhaust so possibly the previous owner has done a few bits and pieces? If it has been modified and need stock springs, let me know as I have them.

Mine retained the HID's too, they are ace. :)

Yeah I heard you had some troubles?

Although you're the first person I've ever heard having trouble after doing something like deca (ie. autocross)?

In the US, they only seem to break them after track day stuff, and even then, only after 30+ minutes.

There's a 8 MR on the stock gearbox running 9's.

Just watch 4th gear too Lowthy - it's made of glass :\

Yeah - uncle Jeff is investigating with Mitsubishi now. He's as confused as i am...

No teeth, just selector fork - seems heat was a problem. Will let you know more when I know :happy:

Uncle Jeff? Is that techsport?

Very interested in finding out the cause of this... So the gears themselves are ok, it's just the selector forks?

Cheers,

matt

seriously though I need a ride in one of these Evo's... I must be missing something, I just don't get excited about them... maybe once I have sampled the cornering goodness I will change my mind.... somone show me the light!

I be interested to know why the WRX boys have defected?

Just back on that gearbox issue...

Listed on the Ralliart website

http://www.ralliart.com.au/RalliartVehicle...nIX.aspx?item=2

the gearbox is listed as "6-speed manual (W5A51)"

I'm pretty sure the jap version gets the "MFA80" seen here

http://www.aichikikai.co.jp/english/mission.html

The only reference I can find to W5A51 anywhere is on this place

Nonetheless, interesting you've killed 4th and/or the selector fork.

James - Cool - thanks!

NickR33 - LOL - my Rexy was a 4 door! They're far more practical than a 2dr skyline! :happy:

Re: Rex boys defecting... Hardly... I had a 350rwkw R33 before I had the 05 Rex.. I bought this because it's the best new car at that price range... There's not a whole lot in it b/w the 07 STi and 07 Evo, the Evo (for me) was a more exciting drive.

Anything can be made to go fast in a straight line - it's the stuff between the straights that's the fun part! :glare:

Cheers,

matt

Thanks for the info!

BTW - I wouldn't hold a lot of stock in the info on the mitsubishi aus website - a lot of that info is based on the EVO VIII they sold here previously (including the weight).

Interesting about the torque limit of the gearbox - considering they run over 400nm factory in Japan/NZ!

Cheers,

matt

No worries Matt, by the way, you realise this is dandin (been a while mate).

I think I've seen you a couple of times at St. Kilda Towers, perhaps you can show me this Evo of yours sometime :glare:

Regards that torque limit, I'm sure it's underated. We all know the stock boxes can hold their own, I'm putting my money on driver error :happy::ninja:

Fark - No way!

You still got the GTiR?

Where abouts are you working these days?

LOL - Yeah - James IS a fair hack! :happy:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
