Not having a stab or anything, but you from word go was planning on running this thing sub 10 seconds, so why didn't u build it to andra spec to start with? Wouldn't that have been easier then all this down the track modifying?

Yeah it's a bit of a kick in the pants, but its a plus in a way, we get to fix up a few things in the engine bay we had drama's with and add some more go fast bits to test out every 0.1sec counts now lol.

Any manual gearbox car quicker than 11sec must have a full 360 degree 6mm steel scatter shield around the bell housing to cover your clutch and flywheel. Pain in the arse for a GTR as there is very little room and gets in the f**king way of everything, ANDRA's rules are getting more ridiculous every year.

Couldn't agree with u any more duncan, my mate told me a horry story or his mates xygt where the flywheel sheered thru the dash...missed his legs by only a few inches! With the weight and centrifugal force with teeth, its a deadly weapon

But still a nightmare to get one to fit in there, i say kudos to you for trying, i woulda looked at it and sent it to someone else lol. You are flat out squeezing a fart in there, let alone a scatter shield :( On a brighter note, fantastic build, and even better results, this thing looks tops and goes like a scalded cat to boot!

Update time:

Nothing much has changed over the last few months, only waiting on the strain gauge to come. Engine is back in the car and the bell-housing guard is complete and installed. A few minor mods have been done in the engine bay nothing drastic. When the strain gauge rocks up the car will be straight on the trailer heading to Brisbane for a tune up and a healthy dose of more HP, We have also been developing a system for the H Pattern Dogbox to give us quicker shift times, will not be releasing any details yet until it is tried and tested and hopefully does what it is suppose to do. Mark has also got some trick electronic gizmo's to put in as well which will get the MPH up but again secret squirrel business can't release any details. So next time we hit the black-top times will fall fast hopefully.

The RB fired into life yesterday for the first time in 5 months banana.gif puts a smile on my dial every time i hearing those massive cams, not long now till Bris-vegas time to nut up or shut up, so keen to hit the strip again and punch out the single digits.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
