Thanks for the help.

Problem found and fixed. It was the old AFM wiring that in my haste i didn't sercure well enough and it had shorted on the body. Wacked a new fuse in him and started first crank.

Dropped the run in oil and filter. Chucked in some fresh Kendall oil and ventured out for a bit of a road tune tonight to clean up a bit of untidyness and gave it a few mild runs through 2nd and 3rd with 1 bar of boost. Found it to be a very linier power delivery that i think will benifit from some cam timing adjustment.

Probably back on the Dyno tomorrow to play with that and start looking at towards some more boost.

I think it's about time i sent out a big thanks to Paul at X-treme Motorsport here in Townsville for looking after the tune and keeping an eye on what I was doing throughout this project. With out his help I would never have got this far.

Hope Coops doesn't mind me posting this here..

"It's repairable and the car is still pretty straight. Just some expensive and 1 off parts that will have to be binned. Pretty much just a rear end lock up, kicked out hard and ran tarmac to pull it up. Took out a small tree and stoved the front into a rock. Better luck next year. Gotta stay true to my sig. On a positive though that motor was amazing all weekend and from what i've removed so far it looks fine."

Hey guys. sorry for the lack of updates as i haven't had a Pc for a while.

So far I've pretty much identified everything that's been damaged and I've started buying bits already. I bought a second hand blitz intercooler, Ordered a new custom PWR radiator, new radiator and headlight supports and also have a new oil pump input shaft as It was bent slightly by the impact from the bottom rad support. Still alot of work to do but well on the way to repair. I'll try post some picks of the damage from the rally when I have access to our own computer gear again.

Besides us crashing out we were actually doing quite well. We were running 3rd outright behind a Skelta G-force and Giant's RGM racing R35 Gtr. I would have liked to have had more opportunity to sort out its handling issues but simply ran out of time.

I'll try and get the in car footage up on youtube when i figure out how, but untill then heres some pics

Befor and afters.

I loaded up You tube wth a few in car Vids from the Mount Stuart Tarmac rally including the ill fated 6th run crash. Run 3 gives some idea of how taily it was and there's a couple of classic catches in this one. Enjoy

I am sorry to see mate.

Car looks beautiful and fast.

I hope you are almost done with the repair. It will be nice to see it on track again.

The last video was sad to see :thumbsup:

From the video it appeared that your rear end stepped out under brake.

What actually caused the accident?

Brake lock up, oil/gravel on the road?

First up in the morning the car wasn't working too bad but I'm pretty sure that once we'd done a few stages the rear shock oil was cooked and they had no real controll over the spring so basicly it was like trying to rally a New York taxi. very bouncy in the rear.

However I did make a mistake where I didn't rev match the downshift to second spot on and compresion locked it slightly and on cold tyres the rear just colapsted and tried to overtake the front. I got it back a bit straight but ran out of road.

It's all repaired and racing again now with only some cosmetics to fix up like a new bar and stuff but for now my zip ties are doing the trick. Kinda drift spec.

i thought it looked like you compression locked it a little...

pitty after you caught it you didnt nail the throttle might have just pulled you around the corner, but these things are very hard split second decisions

at least your ok

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
