I'll have to pull it down, but i'm guessing the valvle didn't close properly for what ever reason, and it gas axed the side out of it. We checked plugs, injectors, and ignitor on the side of the road.

We rounded that GT2 up 2 stages in a row!! There will be more stages uploaded soon.

I wondered what happened! I saw you were 3rd going into the last day and then finished 5th. Time for a 2jz?

It was 2nd, and no shitty Toyota engine is going in my car. I've done a different thing each time from the bottom up, so now i'm at the top, the next engine will be fine.

Rinadeena looks like an amazing stage...absolutely hammering! Suspension looks planted. OK, time to start flogging your spec Penskes to the rest of us :)

I did almost poo my pants at 10:25 when the car jumped sideways. If you want some I can put you onto my tuner, he organised all the valving. still learning a lot about setting them up, but being able to adjust hi and low speeds separatly makes a big diference in changing conditions. Any good shock can have my valving applied Penske/ohlins (sweedsh)/mca/proflex.... But it's probably cheaper to get the Penske's out of the states, and revalve them here

the bloke that done the specks on the shocks is about to do the same thing to a old set of jap ohlins that i got ahold of. they only have one twiddle valve but he said he will get them close enough.

this year ben adjusted the shocks at least every other stage and the car got faster by the end of each day and once it rained he new what way to go with them. it would take a few club days to dial these in perfect so its not a set and forget part. just for anyone elce thinking they mite like to spend the money. beauty of a bilstein is you cant adjust it. haha.

Starting to sound like a 300zx, 5 days... Engine out Lol! I won't touch it next year, promise!

PS where is the adjustment on the Penske's??? The KW we ran were easy to adjust on the front, but UBER gay on the rear.. especially on the side of the road between stages

c'mon a 300zx need a engine out every stage.

The penske's are upside down (shaft at the bottom), and the remote canisters are under the boot and bonnet (high and low speed bump), so the bump is super easy. Rebound is on the bottom of the shock, and required laying on the ground. But I didn't change the rebound very often.

haha well you were damn luck it was running at all.

I'd be pulling, checking and cleaning the head. When I snapped a cam it f**ked the tunnel as well and it needed to be machined straight again. Also, you will have aluminium everywhere including the sump.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
