OK, sorry for the lack of updates, but work got in the way for the past few months, and seeing as it finances the project, I couldn't really say no.

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

Having seen a fair number of incidents at the track, and also being a requirement for the race category I plan to enter, I finally bit the bullet and went the full cage. Asking around the racers in WA, one name kept popping up for who does the best rollcages. Brad Stacy. Working for one of the top Race Workshops in WA, and also working from home, I got in touch with Brad, and explained my requirements. Brad was awesome to deal with, and having done dozens of cages before I felt confident leaving my car with him.

The cage took about 2weeks, which wasn't bad considering he was doing it in his spare time. I'm really happy with the end result, and would recommend Brad to anyone thinking of getting a cage done in WA :thumbsup:

Great work Paul,

Good to see Brad sorted Cage out :thumbsup: .

Whats next dude,

new RB30 :rolleyes:

I'm leaving the engine as is for the time being, makes plenty of power. Likely conversion to E85 fuel though, which should improve response and up the power a bit.

was just wondering about this car just yesturday, how long until it gets back on the track???

Potentially it could go back to the track within about 2weeks, but in order to get everything ready to pass scrutineering it will take alot longer. At least I'm back working on the car again, so progress will be made :thumbsup:

just getting my battery nerd on, what are you thinking of using?

you can get pretty powerful motorbike batteries, they already use them in race/drift applications anyway

I'm getting a Braille Battery, only weights 3kg :D

bit expensive, but that is pretty light, what one were you looking at? how many cca?

are you looking at the lithium ion technology?

depending on the cca you require i'd say a Deka Powersports ETX18L or ETX30L,

they are a AGM technolgy and should have plenty of power and they could even sit around for 6 months and still start the car.

Give Goodchild Enterprises a call and they should be able to give you a good price on one, even tell them Erik from Bitz sent you

stock cams will do 450rwhp wouldnt ever use that much grunt really in a track car, plus you would try to retain vct at any cost possible as it is a very good thing to have while tuning.

very clean car mate did you have a dyno sheet from the engine set up on page 1?

i was also supprised at the weight of the doors as well i have mine off at the moments and there feels like enough metal to make a charade out of them.

how much weight do you think you saved by stripping the wiring harnes out of curiosity?

Edited by kungpow

paul have you disabled the VCT to run the big cams?

looking to do this to mine but cant find out much about it.

Hi Tristan, I've got the biggest VCT cams I could find, Apexi 270degs. I think the VCT is one of the best parts of the RB25s. To be honest you'll struggle to find big VCT cams, so you may be stuck with disabling it.

I do somewhere, I will try and get a copy posted up.

At least 10kgs, I have shopping bags full of it.

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
