Think I'm going to have to give PI a miss. Gotta clear a defect, and try get bigger brakes and a rear strut brace in time. Spewing :laugh:

Should be right for Sandown though :D Lucky I'm doing DT otherwise I'm in modified class :D

That's a shame, saw your car at Protek today...

What brakes you upgrading to??

Haha, it's there to get the car ready for a RWC so I can clear a canary.

Most likely get R33 GTS-t rotors and calipers up front, and see how that goes. Hopefully I don't get too much front brake bias. Be good going from single piston to four :D

If my car isn't ready, I'm definately down there to watch anyway :laugh:

haha I already packin' some spares :wub:

The car already has 242rwkw's, just don't use it on the track, so I don't think the jump in power will feel that great to me. My old RX7 was faster I reckon, and a hell of a lot scarier!! :happy:

Want to run around 1.3-1.4bar, but we'll see how it goes. It's a high comp motor (9:1), so we'll see how it reacts. Coils are stock for now.

It's already breaking down a bit at 1.4bar, but we'll give them a clean and see how they go, if not I'll order in some splitfires. I might also put a map in for 100 octane and see how it goes on that.

My other cam gear and timing chain just arrived from japan, so we're set!

Shane: You shouldn't have too big of an issue man. I run S14/32 brakes up front with single pot rears and I don't have an issue. just match your pads well. Once my rear pads went it was REALLY tail happy under brakes, so the rear pads are really important!

RS500: PI can't be your first track day unless you do DT I think.

Troy: It'll be good to see how far the old jigger will go man. I'd be interested to see with my engine too, but I'd rather pull it out and sell it while it's still in good health, and I need a few other leaks, cracked manifold and stuff fixed up at the same time, hence my decision to do it early.

Same turbo for now Troy, but we'll see how it goes. My guess is that it's going to be the limiting factor in what power I produce, but I like the setup so I'm keen to push it as far as I can.

Because it's a high comp setup, I'm hoping the turbo will cope well enough with the boost I plan on running, but we'll see, it's not particularly big...

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
