Well... went to the drags this arvo... had a lot of fun :)

Ran a 13.9 @ 101mph (2.2 60') on 9psi with a misfire issue between 4-5rpm. Not to mention an exhaust manifold gasket leak...

... which got worse on my last run so I had to bail.

This is without the AFC or anything....or the rest of the exhaust done yet.

Next time I go down I'll have an AFC installed and Tuned, A dump Pipe, and a de-cat-de-centre muffler pipe also.

I dont see a 13.5ish being out of the question. There is plenty more go left in it I think....

Some good results for bully, and GOT BOOST and Lagwagon also :(

Oh yeah, and the track was slippery as hell.... had wheelspin most of 2nd ugh! wonder how much better the time would be with more grip?

But now, I need an exhaust manifold gasket to suit the RB25. Anyone know the type/model number and where I can get one from ?

good mph. I ran my 33 last night at willowbank. Ran a 13.56@100mph. only got boost controller, 3 inch not got a dump pipe, and k&n pod. im happy with the time and no doubt that u will get into the low 13's dude just gotta hook up right off the line. I went down to stock wheels for the meet and when i ran my best time it hooked up well just abit of spin into second. Its all in the launch matey ive learned that. Good luck anyhow

Yeah, i was dam suprised at such a good time, but could only run 9psi cos the misfire would get really bad!

and Yep. Lowered tyres to about 22-23psi....

... then dumped the clutch at 3grand off the line.... f*ck slipping it, i got worse times that way!

my clutch screwed up on my last run. I ran a 13.98@83mph lol

weird had to roll down to the very end and was stuck there for awhile. turned the car off put it in gear started it up in gear coz i couldnt select a gear with the car on(no peddle) and then drove up the return road got into 3rd using no clutch pushed in the clutch while still accelarating and it went clunk and came good??? How bizzare but now i just went to the drift day today and on the way up it was slipping badly on the highway. 3rd n up just slips :)

Kym, Well done, I knew that car was much quicker after seeing it on the last cruise, but there will be plenty of improvement with some of those bugs fixed.

Got Boost, Excellent time mate, goes to show that the RB26 conversion was well worth it, and I'm sure there is plenty more left in it when you decide to push it harder:D

Interesting day to say the least, Track was like ice, the return road had more grip in it. Got a best time of 13.05 with 2.3 60ft at 113 mph so the mph is 3 mph better then my best et, with 60 foot being .4 off my best, so there is a mid 12 in there somewhere.

On my Second pass throw it into 3rd, add power, and tail end decides to go wall ward at 130-140 kph. Interesting stuff indeed

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
