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

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:

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
