Eug: Thanks mate. What did it end up setting you back if you don't mind me asking? And which kit did you go for?

I got the Ikeya Formula kit cost me shy of $400 i think not inclusive of postage.

Cheaper to make some up with some nice rulers and fishing line, but this was a simple package and easily setup without having to fabricate any special bits.

Probably a wise move :wave:

Plus just trying to find one is a real pain. I was searching around maybe 18 months ago, but to no avail... squeezing into one was my next issue!

Keep us updated mate, I'd be very interested to see it. It's the one car I'd consider selling up for and buying.

Cheers

$55k for the one I found which I though was good buying as it was such a well presented car. Interestingly, at the time I noticed M3R's were moving at about that price too as I was considering building one of those instead, but with a 3.4.

Alan Horsley reckons less than 15 real SP's are still about and most of the cars he hes for vertification pre-sale are usually just well done knock offs.

I reckon a real SP, like ADM R32 GT-R would be a genuine investment.

Primarily this car will be used for state series circuit racing in Tasmania (Targa class). I'm keeping it twin turbo so it could be used for tarmac rally, but not that fussed as wouldn't be very competitive.

I intend sending it to Sydney to do some events for fun too and try out tracks I've not been to.

Awesome stuff mate, need to see some more RX's running about out there.

I agree with you on the SP investment front. I met up with a guy from Ausrotary, who showed me through his, basically to see if I could fit into it (I'm 6'4). Also had a chance to pour over Glen Ridges car, and I also was speaking with another guy in NSW who had an SP who put it up for sale, well over what you've mentioned. 55k is very reasonable I think.

But, as you've said, I think if you were to actually use the car as intended you'd be better off buying a normal FD and modifying it.

Yeah I'd heard of them changing hands for 75k previously.

John and Jason White considered building a S6 RX7 for Targa years ago instead of the $300,000ZX had used to have prior to the Evo, but neither of them could really get in it due to height... Jason did the cage in mine.

Serious rebuild in that link.

I may as well contribute to this thread too :D

jeeez some real nice race cars and builds here!!

mine is nothing special! it is only still in the first few stages of its build, and im still driving it through the transformation to a IPRA car! will be in IPRA by 2009 and will stay doing NSW CAMS SS (for practice and to learn perfect set-ups for each track in NSW) and will go on to IPRA in 2010 and hope to do some Targa events in it to! Got a good Sponsor atm and some real good ones for when i start up in IPRA!!!

i better head of to sleep got round 4 of NSW SS @ oran park :D if you wona see more of the car come down and say hi! :)

Edit: i c you are in vic! well offer still stands :huh: hehehe

Edited by Dave R

As Ive said before Dave, Im a big fan of your car!!

One of the cleanest R's around and it has the times to back itself up - good stuff mate :D

And good stuff on getting a sponsor dude, your killing it! :huh:

While we're on DC2's

A good mate of mine and I did Rallye Burnie in this little bad boy last year... I think he is keen for a bit of circuit racing next.

It was an expensive Type R build with Chomoly cage, Motec, Proflex, dry brake refuel and much more...

I'd not spent much time in a Honda since my old CRX many years ago and I'd forgotten how well they go around corners... I'd also forgotten how slow they go in comparsion to turbo cars!

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
