New radiator in. I accidently ordered the 42mm radiator instead of a 52mm. However its seemed to have worked out so far and ive even been able to keep the fan shroud in there nicely

there is room for more shelves Scottie........dooooooo eeeeettt

Radiator is sweet. Keep cooling fan shroud as it helps keep things........well cool

Its a spare one i have lying around.. Ive got one on the car. May install a dual system if needed down the line
ok good.

Additional oil coolers will certainly help ie diff / transmission cooler etc...

Went for a few short drives today to test out the new radiator and make sure it was working fine. First lap ended up in ditching the car in favour of walking to get more coolant. But after i topped it up it has been fine since.

Also these arrived today

Fark those tyres must have cost a penny or two... I considered buying a pair of 16" wheels once, just to get away with paying for a smaller tyre. So many golds.

$355 each! Was only going to save about $10-$15 each if i went to a smaller rim. As i already had a pair of 17's at home I thought this is the cheapest option for now and would be a good indicator of where the traction is at and if I need to go smaller

Even with the 255/60/15 version of those I'm still baking 3rd lol

Wow! Thats interesting as thats a pretty big side wall. Hopefully these work out a lot better for me. I might give them a few KM of street driving and testing before Powerplay on May 10th.

The thing i like about the 17's is they arent so in your face as a 255/60/15 if you know what I mean? I like to keep a good street look about it and not have 15" steelies on the rear with big ass tread. But for track work I guess it could be alright.

Tune day confirmed tomorrow at 10am! Was going to drive the car down to the Gold Coast for it, however with it being Easter holidays and increased police presence I thinking trailer might be the better option. Cant afford the double fine and double points lol

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
