Well the car that started this thread has developed a bit over the last couple of years.

Now sports an RB20DE with ITB's, cams, headwork etc. Think there is a pic in here somewhere...

It's had a couple of arguements with a total of 8 fence posts (7 at one time) which of course leads to upgrades.

With suspension mods, and a bit of tuning the car has become surprisingly competative, scoring a few 1st in class (1600 - 2000cc) and a 1st 2wd in a 3.5km hillclimb. I'm stoaked to be running an unorthadox car and beating some of the pure bread 2wd rallycars.

Here's a pic and vids from the other weekend. 10km forestry sprint. Day started at -5°C, parts of the road were permanantly frozen all day, tricky...

good shit troy! that will be awesome fun, and the sound. my god man! the sound!

where did you find that bad boy? auction? yahoo? or is there some japanese my105 I don't know about?!

yeah there quite hard to come by....i bought one about 3 years ago for my mate and he ended up getting one from somewhere else....one had the same setup as mine and the other had a sr20 turbo in it.....im building up a 13BPP concrete cracker for it and will be making some body mods to look more like this :P ......

I have never heard a better sounding car in my life, absolutley unreal. Would love to hear it in person one day :sick:

Speaking of mental rotors that I would love to own, check this out: www.osca.co.nz/20build.htm

If it ain't a wotor, den it ain't a motor :)

lol, my RX7 gets parked on the 3rd basement level down from ground. when it's idling on the timer and I hop in the lift to go up to my apartment I can hear it running all the way up to the top floor and from the lift to my front door! neighbours must loooove it.

and it's a turbo so is pretty quiet by rotor standards...

Haha but you have to love it!

I had a 12A PP once upon a time, and that thing was so rude it's not funny. It idled a bit under 2000rpm and sounded magic, absolutley awesome little engine. BRAAAAP BRAAAAP BRRRRRAAAAAAAAAP

my neighbours used to hate my old rx7 and that was just a stock 12a with a big exhaust and a racing beat air cleaner, it had no guts and i lived on a hill so it was 1st gear all the way up lol....then it did the ole' rotary back fire when I shut it down

That is currently for sale ,aking good money from what i recall.

As much as i love my Skylines, if i could own any track car, i mean realistic so no Ultima GTR or F1 GTR :rofl: i would have to take the Re Amiya Super G RX7.

It would have to be track only as no way i cold drive such an outrageous car on the street

You park your rx7 in a communal garage Richard?

thats keen...I wouldnt want to leave that around!

my neighbours loved the day I moved out from mum n dads...being in a battle-axe block...our driveway went between two houses, so first car was a loud LS1.....then the R33....and having 6am starts on a weekday and 4am starts on a weekend...yeah they didnt like me much :rofl:

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
