haha...yeh you guys are suckers...as if you would work two jobs or maybe even have a hobby or two that takes up all your free time...:rofl:

Dan once i work out a sweet and easy to make dry sump pump bracket i reckon we should put abit more serious effort into this project.

I also need to work out a better way for welding the sump pan without it warping so much, but without being insanely time consuming.

We will talk in the near future mate...........ding ding ding and bling bling bling....i like the sound of money.

What? Aside from my 6.5 hours sleep every night, I still get 2 hours break where I'm not working.

Sif you don't envy me.

Probably the best way to stop it from warping is to tak it in multiple places and fill between. Not the neatest option but should solve that problem. Also I assume you would be bolting it down to a hard surface while welding. Another thing to try would be to get out the oxy and, while it's bolted down, throw some even heat into it all over. Might need two oxy's lol. That should take most of the kink out. Finished product can then be taken to Chilton Engineering. He will be able to straighten and surface grind the finished product for a completely level surface.

Aight?

you know dan...believe it or not i actually am a fabricator by trade...i did employ pretty well all of those techniques to stop it from distorting...still comes out abit funny though. I fully welded the whole thing bolted to a dummy rb30 block. The problem isnt flatness of the surface, as in it doesnt need to be ground so its flat, what happens is the flange sucks in(width ways)and the bolt holes dont line up perfectly. I have an idea in mind of how to fix that, but i need to make a steel jig that will replace the bottom end of the block. Apart from that little issue everything comes out pretty sweet. Ill have to get some pics up so you can see it.

no more hijacking of noels thread...

either a) bolt the flange to the block or b) make a jig with dowels in the bolt hole locations?

P.S u do realise i coulda given u the CAD file of the flange with the hole locations. i've had it for months :(

already did a cad drawing for it months ago....meh :(

shane already said i bolted the flange to the block when i welded it....really needs to be annealed after its been welded so it stays in its bolted position rather then pulling when you take it off. But my jig idea will work...just means i gotta make one...which blows.

OK the injectors Noel had are Delphi 650cc with an impedence of 2.5 ohms. The GTR 444 injectors are 2.1-2.2 ohms and the RB25 injectors are 370cc at 13.4 ohms.

Anyone know where I can get 11-12mm O rings with a 7.2mm inner diameter (11x2)? They came with 14x3.5 and 15x3.5 and with lower collars that fit the GTR runner ports perfectly.

pirtek? that other hose mob that begins with Z. pirtek is at industrial ave, wacol. and the other one (Z) is at rocklea (same side as BOC)

or there's qld diesel spares down at rocklea too (left hand side)

I keep 40 of the bastards in the top draw of my toolbox

The ones I have suit RB20, GTR and RX7 Nippons. They are a genuine only seal.

Well I used double O rings on the top using 11mmx2mm O rings from Ipswich Bearing Supplies. Seal is good and the car runs but until I get off my ass and reload the injector variances it will hunt a bit on closed loop.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
