Oooh how fun! Good thread dude! I hope alot of you guys go down and give it a whirl. I've already got my dyno sheets so im right lol. But for the rest of you be a good idea on what your getting even tho dallas dyno is out of wack a bit!

I think i recall Fabio saying 70$ for 3 runs or something? So group buy be alot cheaper.

In the talk of dyno and drags, who's entering this up-coming event?

I'll have fresh tyres and some better gearbox oil in so im up. I get paid before the day so no excuses this time! Touch wood!

I have a few entry forms for the Show 'n' Shine if anyone wants one. They can be dropped off at ASAP or The bike shop near the traffic lights...

You can pay when drop off or on the day! i rekon we enter the Street Machine category. if we can get enough of us to enter they will add a category for us next year!!! So everyone needs to enter, it's only $20...

hey az that info's good as, sadly to say i wont be entering my car in the show and shine, sadly it wont be painted and ready by then, good luck to everyone else going, make the v8's look silly ha ha..

bad luck lee hope it all works out for you man

$20 aint much to support the cause! Any presentable car in town has no excuse for not turning up.

Even though the judges will be V8 biased, hopefully a import will get a place in Street Machine.

Surely a import will take out the sound off.

hey man hit fabio up for the fibreglass, if not maybe grab a kit from chembrie at ASAP and give that a go, only prob in you'll need to get the bit you reglassed painted cause you have to rub down the surrounding area... best of luck man..

oh and ill prob be out but i got balled back tyres :) might save up for new rim and tyre package rather than spend on tyres seeings it only gets driven on weekends lol..

catch

My farking low beam globe blew up on the weekend... typical. 1st my fog light and now this one... They were awsome while they lasted.. 9weeks.... lol. Imight just put my standard crap in... Orange/yellow crud.

Yeah jimmy man, if your still up for doing a bit of finishing up cleaning at the carwash before we head to S&S on sunday let me know. I'll have to spend some time cleaning the crap out of mine and would be better to roll up with someone then be nigal lol

ok guys wat should i do for my sr20det 180sx??

here are the options:

1. rebuild my current motor with forged internals ect ect - will cost roughly $3000.00 in parts

2. buy another standard engine and just replace mine - can get one for about $2000.00

3. buy an rb25 and do a conversion into my car - is going to cost about $5000 from a place in adelaide going off their website. might cost more i dont know

currently my engine is suffering from low compression, dead turbo and the keyway on the crank is worn out.

im only looking to make about 240 ish rwkw and this can be done with a standard bottom end and will still be reliable.

so what you think?

Guest Rexlr8

My choice be 2.

I would go the Std engine. If your only after 220-240kws then that can happen no worries on std internals and engine man. Bolt on could get you netting that and still be very streetable and a weapon at that. And on lowish boost.

It will be cheaper for you to buy a std engine and then bolt ons and a trip down to adelaide or melb for not that much.

But thats all i would do. Rb25 is sweet, but for that extra $$ you could put towards other things.

Its entirly up to you tho man. My choice will would be above. Std engine. Your current bolt ons plus a decent bang turbo and a sweet tune and you will have your 220-240kw no friggen worries. If i can get almost that at all 4's with just bolt ons and a tune you will have it no worries without breaking a sweat!!!. And the left over money can go towards panels maybe? Paint? Im sure Fab will help you out eh?

Hopefully you make a decision soon tho :( Roads pretty empty out there without that chick on the bonnet :laugh:

But as i said before, up to you man. Do what you think you will be happy with.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
