3 month holiday

32 race car- came back blew the motor and like a good track car its just sitting down the side of the house growing spiders(its waiting for me to find some spare time to swap the engine out... work, drinking, baby stuff, wasting money on tow cars and the above engine built has tapped out my play money for the last few months)

hr31 gtr monstor- long motor is assembled, just waiting on getting the shell back to shlap the motor in an plumb it up

busy at work but i predict the race car will have it new engine installed in early march (post work being hectik)

roy buy the whole kit and flog the turbos off or use them on your car $1700 for the whole kit red nuts... also helps me pay for my haltek + tune

:)

Top work on the sump, I have been keeping an eye on his fabrication thread lately.

Just out of interest does he install his own style of baffles into the sumps or does he make them to suit aftermarket styled ones like the Mines or Tomei baffle systems?

Getting a little closer to building the 26 in my GTR and I am pretty interested in getting a similar sump done up for it

Cheers Marty

21 psi= ic pipes flying off and the old rb26 chestnut of popping the dipstick out

at first i though i lost a turbo.. but was just an ic pipe flying off. kept doing it even at 15psi so i packed up

getting rid of the just china hoses and going something tougher and will be back out with about 17psi to keep things happy (eg longer lasting)

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
