Oh yes I do rate a bit of gutter talk.

He doesn't moan Damo, but he did say you do when he throws a digit in ya foofa valve.

i moan at less than that Benny.

anyway this has taken a backwards step. Bens away thats why he isnt in on the action in here.

NO rain free weekends in the near future forecast so the progress is gonna be slowed right down.

I ran last weekend at the Symmons Plains 60th annaverary meet. Unfortunately after a good run the engine decided to throw a rod.  I've got the engine out but havn't pulled the sump off yet, I suspect

So it’s been over a year since an update. The first event last year was the Poatina Mountain Race, it was pretty much a 7km hill climb with the option for a navigator. I put my girlfriend in the sil

damo's is more of an exited squeal, but a singe digit just dosn't cut it anymore.

I'll be back from Hoebart tonight, and i might move my car into the garrage, as dad's gtr needs to have painting and welding done, which is best outside.

plann will be to swap the diff out, and put the gearbox into mine next. And probably start on the wiring

Been following this very closely..

Im looking at doing something similar very soon too.

How did you electronically remove the HICAS system whithout making the steering go heavy at low speeds?

you will hardly notice the steering. but the idea is and its explained in the hicas removal page is that you remove the hicas lines ect then you will have the hicas warning light on on your dash. this is turned on by the hicas computer which is mounted upside down under the parcel shelf. most people disconnect the computer which interferes with the speed sensitive steering. to keep the speed sensitive steering there is one wire that turns the light on. you simply cut that wire and leave the rest plugged in and walla no light and the speed sensitive steering still works.

have a quick look through the tutorials as i think i put the wire colour to cut in the R32 hicas removal thread.

Ben will be running a R33 pump which if mated to the rb20 harmonic balancer will be heavy anyway.

Are R33 boxes allowed in Tugga Benny? i got ben a super cheap 20 box but id never run one if i had the chance after having a 25 box. i flat shift mine and all sorts, mainly because im unco and cant drive but its pretty cool when mid drift i can slam it from 4th to 3rd with no clutch.

the 25 box is also massively bigger in size and weight and im not sure a Rb2o would have enough torque to get going. LOL

Yeh im quite certain since the regs state the housing must be original, hence you can't use a 33 box.

yeah, right..

I already locked it out hydrolically, now its just time to remove the ECU and remove the harness from it.

There are two connector plugs n the back of the hicas ecu. I have already disconnected one from the ecu, the light is off and the speed seneitive steering is still working as the steering is still light at low speeds.

hooray the box isn't filled with dirty hypermax. Brembo F40's, and R33 GT-R rear Bremo's, with rotors, and brand new Endless CC-R pads.

The F40's are bigger than i thought, notisbly bigger than std R33 fronts.

This is funny, you are running the same calipers as me, though i am runnng 343mm rotors rather then 324. I have a Trust Ti exhaust as well and the truly scry thing is i hve been looking for 17x9 QFs :)

there is a pair of 17x9 QF's on Yahoo now http://auctions.nengun.com/item/g79810064 , they look really good with the dish (that comes from the extra width), the qf's are pretty hard to find. I have to run 17x8 for Targa :down: I'm running 332mm rotors.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
