ummmm I don't know what to say except...

YEAH BABY! now we are talking.

I assuming it's built for aus sports sedan series? looks good. what look like penske shocks, and obviously the full tube chassis and mid mounted engine are hard to miss! is it going to be running a 4 or 6 when done? bit hard to tell from the pic but I'm guessing an RB of some kind? maybe 26/30?

Yes it is for the National Aus Sports Sedan Series and will hopefully be completed by the end of this year.

Motor will be the RB25 that is currently being run in my DR30 with a much wilder tune than current. Using the RB25 due the multiplier factors to work out final capacity as we think the weight should come in at 950-990 kg with driver. Yes they are Penskes all round.

All I can say is I dont think I will ever ever take on a project like this again but it is so far past the point of no return that we just keep on going.

Car has been designed and built with only one purpose and that is to hopefully beat Tony Ricciardello in his Alfa Chev. A very big ask but we are going to try very hard.

well good luck, it looks awesome.

tony will be tough to beat as he has been campainging that car for so many years now he has it set-up pretty well. but I've no doubt you will have a damn good shot. It looks like an awesome package to me. who desinged the car?

I was doing some laps at a practice day at oran park gp a month or so back and Kerry Baily was there with his Z with glenn seton doing the driving. had a good close look at his car and it is very impressive. pretty sure phil ryall built that car.

Maitland Performance Fabrications designed and built the space frame, hubs and cage. Fantastic workmanship and attention to detail but boy do you pay.

Under no illusions that Tony will be easy to beat...close to 30 years of car development and history have gone into his current car as far as I am aware. We are concentrating every part of our efforts on achieving maximum driveability and power down characteristics because if there is one thing to see in the Alfa Chev it does not matter if he is on or off racing line the car just squats and goes, however having raced against him in different classes his car is not quick at just before corner apex and just after...it is when it straightens up that it puts every bit of power to the ground.

Thanks for the comments...the photos don't really do the car justice.

yep, it certainly looks top shelf.

no doubt tony's car has awesome drive out of corners I tend to agree too that mid corner may be where it falls down a bit. well I hope it comes of well, and keep on truckin! I can imagine the time and money into so far must be hard to take, but it will be awesome on track.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
