One of the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show Concept car entries... the RX-7. The the article that goes along with that pic entertains the idea that Mazda "may" use a Supercharged version of the Renesis Rotary engine. Either way, a blown Renesis of some sort is on the cards...

Yep, RX01. I was wondering how many people remembered it?

Well, they say Mazda are gonna show it in Tokyo in October, and it really looks like they haven't changed much since '96 RX01, except give it a "Family face"... and a new engine.

>Ryosuke: Where did you hear that?;) No offence, I've heard some waaaaay out claims for all the successors to the Supra, NSX, GT-R, RX-7, and Lexus, but eg: Nissan using the R390 engine in the new GT-R? How on earth are they gonna get that to meet emmissions laws? And same with the 4-rotor?

All the new sportscars are gonna have all new eco-friendly engines. It sounds boring but thry're all gonna have the same or more power than their predecessors, and be lighter aswell.

I've got an NSX pic, but it was all CG, so I didn't put it up. But on that note, I have a friend working in Honda, and as soon as something breaks, I'll let you guys know.

Incidently, a garage called "Scoot Sports" have been working on an NA 4-rotor engine (2 12A's with a common crank) to put in an FD3S, they want to get it to 325km/h, no turbo, no Nos, street trim.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
