So after blowing the gearbox I thought f**k this, and ripped it out. 25det to go in!

I did some stuff tonight as it hasn't been so hot, removed the p/s rack, bushes were shagged!

Cleaned the engine bay and removed about what I think is close to 1kg of dirt / grime / sand / rubber / crap from the cross-member.

Stuff going in -

Reconditioned rack (basically new) with lock spacers fitted

nolathane rack bushes

solid steering coupling from gktech.

This combined with the rose jointed rack ends, should feel like new.

Prep wash ftw.

New steering in, reco'd rack, nolathane rack bushes, solid steering spacer, that mixed in with my rose jointed tie rod end junk should be sick!

That's all folks for now, rb25det is being picked up this weekend!

  • 6 months later...

Been a while, not sure who will read this but thought I'd update with some pics of progress n that.

So I got a s1 rb25, overhauled all seals so rear main, crank, cam seals. Did water pump and put on gates timing belt + new tensioner / idler, painted covers, replaced all heater hoses all that kind of junk. Anyway I'll let the pics do the talking.

Had it tuned and the car made 209.8rwkw on around 13.5psi bleeding off to around 13 - 12.8 due to rb25 actuator, short runners let it down a bit in the mid range but i have the solution.. further on in this thread.

So I took her out to round 2 of g1, some piccies.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
