Recommended Posts

noel you shutup my 32 with 20 is quite a nice machine and you know that hahahah

just watch yourself cuz my 20 will eat ur 25 for breakfast HAHAHAHHAH

nah u no i still love ya buddy lol :P

No sweatski Mic. I dont hate 32's but every school holidays twits like our mystery come out to stir the pot. Who better than a silly old fart to act like a kid and play with the tool.

Lets face it, If it werent for me entertaining him he may get bored and injure himself with a razor sharp icy pole stick or worse.

You never know, he may even grow a pair and offer to put his precious 32 on the line at the bank or QR. Might even offer pinks. :D:woot:

Back on topic.........How would people react to an MGA roadster re-built from ground up with an rb25det thrown in the bang bang end for laughs. The only problem is fitting the gear box gates without trashing the interior for originality values. Will be in the climbs and tarmac meets in around 8 months. Hopefully.... Parts are very hard to find. Shell and frame finished, engine on site, just need a few cosmetics and loom to finish the girl off. Anyone with connections for tuning or MG parts ppllleeaase let me know. Project has been going about 3 years and 10grand. Cant wait to raise a few eyebrows @ meets and drive the bastard like it was stolen. ;) Regards Simmo

If the Queensland MG car club is anything like the Victorian one, they’ll hate you. Funny conversion though..

Progress photos?

Ye old whore town freaks... get back over there!

My puta is in the shop.. it had a melt down. I come back to see thread hi-jacked by kids and boats. What the?

I see it like this:

1: Shut up untill u go to a race, drift or skid pan type of a track. Then carry on about who's car is a dunger.

2: Kids should be sent to the naughty corner... even older kids! (Noel)

I am currently building an off road mini buggy.. a very mean spirited type of thing. It has plans, but i think they are way to weak for my kind of off roading! I know my mates( ..and I, will get carried away).. this poor thing will get its nuts revvvvved off, jump high enough to scare all of you and enough power to drag a modist skyline. I am taking a race car approach to the build. I am planning on a 1200cc engine. if it doesn't go fast enough.. there is always boost!

Now, it wont be for the road.. but almost as crazy as an rb25 in an mgb! ohh, speaking of which, I met an old Canadian engineer who put a 350 chev into an mg. could have been an mgb. he even fitted posi-track! hahaha But just goes go show that with some thought and homework, you can plug all sorts of weird stuff together..

but that doesn't mean you should.. me included!

i know this is heaps off topic sorry guys... but why the hate against rb20det's...... i got one in ma vl wagon and can tow a ton in the trailer literally(its my work car :) )... sure u need to revv it a little lol but they r still good engines also very ecinomical. also have 32gtr sure they r small.... but do what they r made to do. also have friends with 33's larger more cruizy and comfy and yes the rb25's put a smile on my face. i say less haters and more appreciation for what a car has going for it rather than what a car doesnt have going for it..

on topic seen a tickford blue punch buggy(v dub) and from the sounds of it definatly a wrx engine.... it sure flexed aswell owner looked in his 50's ;). also seen a datto with some sort of electrical fan on the intake... owner said he gained roughly 3 kw aaahahahahahahahaha.

oh saw a stock vt commie with hubcaps and a spoiler that was larger and higher than a d1 drift car! i had a good chuckle.

when i was little i tried to hook a clothes dryer blower unit to my carby...... to no resolve.. i had my heart set on it for months when i was 15 aahahaha ;)

does 2 out of 3 cut it. Skid pan, track days. shove drifting where the sun dont shine. Its for flat cappers who cant drive. (usually silvias and 32's)

Aint no dungers out there man, Some are just better than others. :P

:P:O Ouch! That hurts....

I would like to get into say time attack runs... I like my car too much to have sum1 on my ass and right next to me running around a track though in proper races. Till then, drifting FTW :(

On topic: any shitbox that has like fluroish or brightly coloured windscreen wipers..... I throw up from a mile away. Please just don't.

You mean to say wet roads and stock ke70's with cut springs dont make you a good driver?

They dont!?

Anyway. Back on topic again.

I saw some dude in an electric wheel chair on the gateway motorway going the wrong way southbound, he was heading north, around the airport. Now THATs something you shouldnt see on the road! Fing funny tho!

I remember years ago I saw an Excel with huge TURBO stickers that took up the bottom of the doors on both sides of the car. He nailed it beside me and it was definitely not turbo (no induction noise and slow as hell), but it DID have one of those godawful "turbo" tips on the exhaust... It also had an enormous spoiler, and when quizzed he explained that it was for "traction off the line".

"Cannon" mufflers shouldn't be seen on cars, turbo or not.

*waits for "cannon" fags to try an flame me*

just in reply to this comment( im not gonna flame u its not my style and im not a fag either) my car came from japan with a 3.5 inch jasma exhaust system yes it has a cannon. why do all top import makes e.g. hks, Greddy and the list goes on and on come with cannon mufflers...... can you answer this please? if it comes down to personal prefferance why call so many of us out there fags? why start an argument for nothing?

picture attatched. whats so bad about it?

They all also make “pancake” style mufflers. The demand is higher for cannons (normally just the cannon it’s self for rice boys in Civics), thus more are made across the board. That and the misconception that only cannons flow..

I’ve had most of the off the shelf Japanese “cannon” exhausts, normally they are fitted right (in terms of angle) like your GTR, my issues with hate towards them are when idiots buy a cheap item and weld them on, on ridiculous angles and due to the poor quality muffler it sounds rubbish.

Prime example is some tool in my street with an R32, has gone an got himself a mangaflow cannon on a stupid angle, my Hino truck I hired from budget rental sounded better..

There are plenty of options:

I did a 3inch system with no mufflers and a simple tip on a car years ago

Remember kids, say no to cannons so people don’t laugh at you

worst thing seen in a car...in general SR20's..

You make a valid point.

Nissan thought, bugger us we need a new engine for our beloved Silvia, lets just turbo the pulsar sr20 and make it RWD to keep everyone happy for a few more years.

The Sr20 came out in 1990 correct?

And did 1990 pulsars have an SR20 installed in them? No only the GTiR's (which were already turbo)

Therefore the engine was placed in both of the cars turbocharged at around that time (silvia had turbo SR20 in early 1991)

It wasnt till late 1991 that the n14 pulsars came out in SSS (Sr20) non turbo edition.

In my point of view the Sr20 is a very good engine. Especially for its time... and definatly an enhansement from the CA18 (unless the CA18 is modifed).

I have also seen numerous good example of powerful Sr20's around also.

PS. This is not a flame post. just what i thought about the SR. Plus i have to stick up for silvia's seeing as i have owned two of them.

EDIT: And the few more years that they have been made was an extra 9 or 10 for the S14 and S15 200sx's and only recently has ceased from production due to the Nissan buy out by Renault for emmisions standards.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
