5years after the wrx crowd have gotten over the excitement of rotational idle and antilag you guys catch on haha. It might sound cool the fist few times but it gets old pretty quickly. Just watch those egt's.

yeah well it was only recently (vipec) that we have had access to a decent ecu that supports these options! (Vi-Pec)

The power FC is far behind in the times and we have been using them because it was the only way to go. Now there is a better alternative which packs all these options.

I only use cycle idle when i need it, usually on weekends and on my trip from Sydney to Newcastle to help with cooling. Only takes a couple of minutes to set it up and you are on your way.

on oil cooler yes, but BAD idea on radiator.

Ploise exploin!

I will be doing a lot of big smokey burnouts in my 32 and as such, these are the precautions I have ready to go on or have lined up:

- oil restrictors in head

- oil return from head to sump

- High Energy Pro-circuit sump

- oil cooler w/ thermo fan

- retain engine fan

- 2x11" thermos on front of radiator (removing aircon condenser etc)

Anything else I should be thinking of? should I be spraying coolers/radiator aswell?

unburnt fuel? ohhhh Mr Internet Mechanic....... man... rotatational idle works by cutting fuel to keep the revs down.. it is running lean not rich. rofl

the cooling happens because of all the fresh air getting pumped in and out of the engine not the excess fuel. :(

if u still after a larger sump, i read that "fitzpatrick speedworks" built his own 12L sump from memory for his 32gtr with a 25 block in it, maybe speek to him about a big ass sump.

oil/air seperator ?

Running an atmo vented catch can that will have a drain back to the sump.

Personally, I'd prefer to spend the 1100 odd $$ on a proven design ala High Energy Pro-circuit. I've seen some of the dodgy modded sumps around and they really don't look very nice. That being said, if anyone can find a sump that will fit an RB30'd R32GTSt that is of the same quality as the High Energy items and comes with baffles and 4 gates, please let me know :(

P.S. and I don't mean gates made out of door hinges!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
