Yep........................................................but only lasted 200km :)

post-1811-1210929842_thumb.jpg

Noticed a slight oil leak that was traced to a leak through the block. Engine is now stripped again and getting rebuilt into a new block.

Those 200km produced a grin from ear to ear, every time i drove it.

Run-in tune dyno graphs and comparisons:

Nah didnt, its cheap chinese sh!t - ill get a decent one for it soon enough from him, just dying to drive it again (its been like 3 years or so, yeah im actually waking up thinking about it in the middle of the night). Once its run in ill get a new manifold for it, aswel as some other bolt on parts :P

Washers under the bonnet are your friend... :happy:

Actually, on this topic, I want to lower my RB25/30 that resides in my R33 GTS-t...

What engine mounts can I go out and buy, that will directly bolt in, and lower the motor down?

Thanks All!

Appreciate your encouragement.

Hopefully car will be back on the road in the next two weeks, then i have to run it in (2 weeks), get it retuned, then install other suspension components and get it set-up for track/motorkahna. This should all be done within 2 months, so yes the car will be ready, barring any unforeseen problems/issues. At this stage i have no intension to enter DECA Masters; new engine set-up, new suspension set-up, and brakes, i will not have enough time to play around with it and get use to the new set-up. If entries are low for the Masters, i will enter but will not be "competing" to win. Either way, i will be up there to help/volunteer.

I will be at the 2nd DECA.

Ive gone with the factory plenum changed to front facing, and am using a high mount gt35/40 replica turbo. Will i still fit the strut brace overtop or will i have to end up taking to the bonnet with my angle grinder? Id like to keep it all looking subtle so no-one will suspect a thing but if i dont have a choice il get cutting.

Mate i highly doubt the strut will fit over the plenum my strut dosent even fit over my turbo!

What the hell is a GT35/40 replica turbo? :P

Is it one of those eBay special China turbos that hand grenade after 5 dyno passes?

well today didnt actually drive the car much....paulo @ keep were trying to map the power FC for RB30...with 0piston's FC-Dataloggger, had some computer problems at the end so we decided to stop there and fix the computer...

while Gerard @ keep were doing the hood...cutting out the CF so the hood would fit.

here are the pictures

spent the whole day doing this...but still didn't fit

so we gave up and cut the whole thing out instead

Im a bit worried that the cam gears and cam covers are going to an issue for me. the turbo is fair big as well.

Is there a bonnet like the one above that is a raised flat instead of having the fake vent's?

(why is there a naked guy next to you in the reflection on the CF?)

    • 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
    • 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. 
    • 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.
