thanks for a great day guys. I had a lot of fun and got to drop a few skids in the xr6t. Only thing i'd change is that last battle, everything else was great.

Is there a list of times that comes up at all? Would be nice to compare.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for coming!

Thanks to organisers and helpers for braving some of THE most REDICULOUS weather I've ever seen! I'm burnt like hell from the sun and my feet are peeling skin from the rain. The wind actually broke my umbrella!

Thanks to UNIGROUP ENGINEERING for the prizes to give out! (Don't forget, afternoon dyno day there on the 6th of March!)

Thanks to the Camaro boys for giving us a good show!

Thanks as always to the Canberra guys for doing much the same, and the commitment to travel all that way for a flat bit of tarmac! :P

Much the same to the Wollongong boys!

Times will probably be up some time tomorrow.

Awesome day folks.

As for sunburnt - doesn't even begin to describe my forehead. Maybe Sunroasted, sun-char-grilled.

Its way beyond burnt.

Was great seeing some nice cars driven in anger :-)

As for the Camaro's. God Damn!

But safe to say Coilovers 1 - Leaf Springs 0

lol. good work today everyone, I enjoyed some skids despite the shithouse weather for part of the day, and it looked like there were plenty of people enjoying the skids!

good work from the camaro guys too, I think a lot of the courses were a bit tight, but man they smoke tyres and sound good.

Indeed, a massive thanks to Yavuz at Unigroup Engineering for the prizes we gave out today.

Also, a big thanks to all the people who organised and helped out today - as Chubbs, Steve-O and Doof have already mentioned, these days could not go ahead without your help and support, so THANK YOU!

LOL!!! :rofl::P

Had an awesome day today for a first timer too! Thanks to everyone involved for putting it together. Ran very smoothly! :P

Oh and the rain made it more interesting.

Good to meet a few new faces too!

thanks doof, might see when mats leaving.

I'll be at the truck stop just before Picton Road (On Mt Ousley) leaving at 6AM from there...

(Matt the rb30 breaker)

Are you bringing your trailer?

did you make it home OK?

did you make it home OK?

I made it... But the age ol' RB30 still has that horrid rattle in it...

Seems to mainly be when free revving and taking off, once properly loaded it "seems" fine...

Meh... That's what you do to $600 motors... I hope I pleased everyone with the effort... :D:P

And to everyone who organised, THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH, I don't think I've EVER driven my car that hard EVER before... I especially liked taking on that GTR in the first battle, whom only got home first as he missed the gate... :rofl:

hmm may not be a bearing after all then (although you bloody deserve it if it is :P) generally a big end is a rythmic knock that gets worse when you rev it (more revs = more load = more noise)

Yeah, it seems to shut up once I've got it loaded...

And come on, I've already done a big end... Or are you meaning I deserve it for such avid use of a hard limiter?

Great day guys - thanks to all the organisers....steveo, neil, duncan, chubbs, dr top bloke, ando, spanna and stu! (sorry, editted!)... top effort boys

glad to see the mighty 180 survive yet another thrashing! So stoked to see it finally running nicely.... an SR with no rattle... after 100,000kms...AMMMMMMMMMMAZING

oooo and thanks for my prize! Unigroup..here i come!

your car has a rev limiter?????

I call it a rev limiter, every else seems to call it a bang bang feature...

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
