Nice, We did that for my RB25 for my old 32 and for Annas SR20...so much easier than getting one built yourself! And cheaper too, My 25 cost me 4000 bucks and the SR cost 800 and a pair of brembos for a R33 GTR ha ha

I couldnt find a decent 26 for reasonable money ( one guy wanted 50k for a RB28 WTF?) so i ended up having to get Dan to build me one, it takes so much longer but i guess at least this time i know who built it!

@ martin:

sorry i missed that,

why JDM garage?

rebuilt sr and more goodies :ninja:

what happened man?

It'll probably be a CA with SR painted on it.

The 25 NEO they sold me was not a NEO. std head on NEO block (ie no NEO benefits AT ALL). Played all innocent when I confronted em and claimed they'd bought the head from some other shop thinking it was a NEO head. Gave up in the end, not worth fighting over.

actually a semi epic reply lol. for once.

Nice job

Lawd above! Hey one 'undred an' thirty emo son of rajab Fauntleroy get yaaahr SR on da frod an' toad so we gok wan get some drift acshun going., innit.

sweet! 0km is the way to go! Word of advice....we ran in annas on the dyno, took 2 hours it was so worht it because driving around doing run ins blows

RB28s are porn....but not for nearly twice the price that a os giken RB30 would cost me

yeh part of the deal is dyno time once its in to make sure all timing is correct etc etc :)

dont think about the $$ think about the :ninja:

I wasn't driving ;)

Heres how I see it: I will happily go for a spirited drive through the mountains. This can involve breaking the law, but its a stupid law that doesn't help anyone (ie stupidly low speed limits). I do it for the enjoyment of the drive, and always follow 1 rule: 7 tenths. Stick to your lane, stick to your limits, enjoy yourself. ANY form of street racing, whethere its initial D style through the mountains, or 2F2F city racing, or hektik high speed M1 runs, is DANGEROUS. Its a race, so theres no 7/10ths: its all out. Thats human nature - we want to win. So theres no margin for error, and when it goes wrong its going to go horribly wrong. This type of driving is ALWAYS dangerous, and should not be done anywhere near the street. The people who say its not their business how someone else drives, wait till that someone else kills someone you love being a d1ckhead. This is what racetracks are for. We have 2 great ones in SE QLD, it doesnt cost that much, and you can go all out and know that worst case the only people going to suffer are yourself, and other people who HAVE WILLING CHOSEN to be in the same situation. At QR you can go at 11 tenths and when you f*ck up, most likely the car will come out unscathed and you can have a good laugh at it. If brown stains on your pants are more your style, give lakeside a go.

Same applies to street drifting. Drifting is great fun, but the nature of it is that it is controlled unstability: Its just not safe to do it on the street where you could lose it at any time. Do it on the track.

Summed it up much better than I am able to. Thank you kind sir.

http://www.otomoto.com.au/osgiken/RB30_race_engine.htm Bottom ends are like $26k? Would end up similar to an OS Giken RB30 in price with the 30 probably costing more. Not saying it's worth 50k but I reckon a lot of people would go close building a balls to the wall stroker 26 with all the labour n ancillaries etc.

dont think about the $ think about the :ninja:

Its all about the lulz.

thats where its at!

after walking round Surfers I revise my previous statement. It's all about the lulz and the bitches.

Woah... just came back from lunch and there 3pages worth! WTF?!

Anyway I'm not defending anybody I'm plainly state facts. Didnt I mention that I agree baskin was poor form by them? I see the reason why EFI was there that night as trying to back Dan up with all the shit he's been getting from someone in particular. But then again it still doesn justify ruining a regular meet.

Time to get back to the reports and minutes!

It's all about the lulz and the bitches.

love it

pure goldd

its how I live my life. A quarter of a mile at a time for the lulz and bitches.

ask any racer, any real racer..

its not how you race your car, its how you do it for the lulz and bitches

</SUP>

For Adam, quote is from wikipedia(not uber reliable) but I'm fairly sure it's right. Although I thought nissan sold the R32 GTR in the UK for Group A racing but I could be wrong. Could be that Australia is the only other country to have factory delivered R32s. Every other skyline outside of Japan is an import though.

Believe it or not but those dirty poms got 100 r34 gtr's delivered....not like they'd know how to drive the things though. Aus got the r32's though.

unfortunately bro i think thats the best/only option ;)

I agree with this. If it's doing it more often in the heat then it may not be fuel pump related....

I thought EFI slaggin was over now that Redbum is gone due to his epic fail attempt of taking over the performance car industry ?

I lol'd...

I let very few people touch my car. Dan @ ERD is in with a chance (based on reccomendations from people I trust), when I eventually get sick of my b*stard noisy lifter :P
Dan is very good, especially with that type of mechanical fault, also builds a mean engine!
Erm... in the middle of the night... Erm... chance of accident.... Erm.... going around corners at 120km... Chance of accident. You work it out yourself.

Dan's car is an example. Other than the fact that it took a couple of weeks. But at least at the end there's no problem at all. + I've already realised a lot of things are out of the control of the mechanics/workshops (parts taking longer to arrive, bolts round, crossthreaded). No job is perfect. You would have thought fitting a cat and front pipe to my car is only a 15-30mins job but it took more than an hour cause the front pipe and dump pipe section was seized up. Oh not to mention SOMEBUM told me its only a couple of hours job to change my dumps on the hoist. Imagine if I did believe that, I would be paying 1 or 2days worth of labour as compared to a couple of hours.

Anyway enough of my ranting. If I'd the same problem as you do, and if Dan recommend I go to EFI, I'll go there. The recommendation these people gets are a testimony to the work they do.

Oh yea, after yesterday, I'll recommend Gavin Wood to anyone for tuning too!

Dan at ERD is literally the only person I'd let touch my car. He's like the Yoda of car's, if yoda and chewie had a lovechild. Rare thing about him too is his honesty. For example my spigot was rooted so I organised to get a new clutch in. I get a phone call from Dan an hr after dropping it off telling me that the clutch in there atm is basically new and presented me with the options to keep the one in there and replace what's needed or continue on with the replacement. I went ahead with the npc street anyways cos I'm wanting big power down the line, but say if I wasn't, I could have saved $400 odd dollars. Bastard makes one mean coffee too although I've been told to not let him know this hahaha.

Mecury reminds me of the club in the city.

You is so asian Brandon :down:

I've never understood the EFI opinion tbh. Everyone I've spoken to is happy with the work and speaking to whitey before the Baskins meet and at the SAU dyno etc he comes across as a nice guy who knows what he's talking about. Vouches from Dan, Noel, Anna n Andy etc says a lot about the work they do.

:ninja:

I understand this and agree but I am in no position to critisise how anybody else drives on the road whether it is illegal etc since I have a pretty horrendous driving record. Although I can justify each situation n fine and will argue the point I was putting nobody in danger but myself it's still dangerous and it's still illegal.

As I said still dangerous n illegal but I couldn't care less if other people want to race down the M1. Their choice.

The main issue I had with all the EFI crew when they came to baskins is they didn't come over n introduce themselves or talk to anyone else bar their own little group. It annoyed me and I spose it goes both ways but still...

+1 for the dirty mexican lol

Fairly sure that's a stab at John and I. Leisurely drive through the mountains at 3am in the morning but still I won't defend it I know it's wrong but I won't stop doing it. Well after Sunday I will...for awhile :)

Nah definetely not defending us lol ;) N don't give me the thumbs down you were there to!

Brandon and I went to the efi dyno day. Pretty sure colin rocked up too. The actual people in charge there were great and everything was done professionally. A week before hand I spoke with a guy named Rick on the phone to enquire about a nistune for my car. The dude knew his shit and was a top guy to talk to. I'll be going there to get my work done. In saying all of that though, I get the feeling that some of their 'helpers' on the dyno day fit the boost losers category which may explain the skids and stuff.

after walking round Surfers I revise my previous statement. It's all about the lulz and the bitches.

don't you mean lulz and jail bait bitches?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
