Mmm, ive just had a look around google, cant seem to find a place in sydney that does it

Ill keep looking :(

(going to deca? See you there! Im keen to have a look at your 180)

YOU BETTER BRING THE GTR THIS TIME. No more of this panzy auto Supra rubbish :P

EDIT: Should really finish reading the whole page before posting a reply.

Steve get your ass into gear and finish off the GTR! :P

lol :(

Mate ive done everything i can, parts just arent arriving fast enough :)

Supra's probably faster on the skidpan though ;)

Im rushing it for bathurst early december, snowy said you guys arent coming up this year though

got the seat it in and man its a tight fit... only just clears the cage (so lucky), but need to massage the tunnel a little to mount it.

will have to fix the window net to the door i'd say too.

will mock up mounts in steel then make some from aluminium angle.

ps. sorry for the crapberry pics, and getting excited and doing multipul replys!

pps. sorry for the offensive seat colour too... plan is to run the same design in black in when the car is done, this red one will make its way into the evo to match the ghey mud flaps!

haha good work Stuart....but what bought on the rush of enthusiasm? Hasn't this been sitting around for about 12 months?

BTW I have no idea what the flock you guys were talking about on the last page. What is this "adding" stuff to a race car idea?

To reduce glare.... I really really really should have thought twice before opting to paint the entire interior bright white :):blink:

Those guards look hot.... You're gonna need a little more race tape though :P

Haha I was contemplating going white at one stage, glad I decided to go satin black ;)

Stu: Looks like a tight squeeze mate!

*ponders if I would fit in there...*

BH: Looks good mate, I like the dash setup. It's got everything you need!

Marlin: I've always wandered if those engine damper things did anything... What did it do that makes you love it so much?

Running the factory engine mounts I find the engine moves heaps during gearchanges, up to 2 inches or so, nothing new there. Engine/gearbox movement absorbes power and hence forward momentum. I put this cheap shit ebay damper on, and I put a zip tie on the shaft to measure the movement.... less than one millimetre! It transformed the car, it's much more spritely on the upchange now and just feels heaps tighter. :) Best fitty I ever spent i reckon :blink:

roy - omp. the halos look very similar to the velo apex though.

dunc - of all things it was roys pondering of r33 gtrs... something switched on and i thought lets get into it again!

phunky - very tight, i've got a removable hub for the wheel cause don't think anyone could get in with the wheel on, myself included. i remember trying to get into a mates 968rs turbo a few years ago that had similar cage and seat, but a fixed wheel... i ended up getting in from the passenger side!

Haha I jumped into my mates silvia a few weeks ago with big side intrusion bars and kneed the roof trying to get in. Ouch! Not so graceful...

Dave!

You need to work on Ando's car! Ando's silvia is too nice and "pretty" he needs to get some ideas from you!

And the dash looks awesome!

Whens she gonna be ready mate?

new kitty debuts november 23rd

disclaimer: new kitty is pretty much old kitty with a tidy up, new wheels and the flares....and maybe a bit more or less shit depending on how much work i actually get done.

ando just needs to leave a heat lamp on the roof for a week or so and it'll be looking much more nuggety. This car has the worst factory paint i have ever seen on an s13.

phunky, about all i want extra in it now is a decent oil pressure warning light, though i may go a buzzer. Since the photo ive added a couple of lights for the indicators, the check engine light for the pfc knock and the low fuel light as i still run the factory tank and sender.

i totally agree... the wing on the e3 is a bit too crazy i think and i also like the e2 from bumper a little more too, but as a total package the e3 are pretty cool.

my 2.0ltr gsr will shortly appear to be an e2 with the compete bodywork package soon to go on.

loving the new wheels and seats, dropped the weight noticeably and feels comfortable.

weight is in pounds, minus driver and 3/4 tank.

pics from a holden motorkhana on the weekend just gone by, 3rd in my class outright and overall 6th with class handicap.

    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it. 
    • Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
