Where did you get the brake adapters made?

Also on your splitter, do you have any pics please showing how you attached the ply to the garden edging? I'm guessing 90 degree alloy edging cut into small pieces

Pauly D is making them for me, can't wait to see the difference in braking!

They're little right angle brackets with a hole on each side. i got them from bunnings

and that bonnet and catches, so HAWWWWT

Thanks man. :thumbsup:

never really cared how it looked (in fact always prefered go>show) but now i want carbon all over it ! sooo light and good looking :)

car looking good mate, any more details on the brake dog bones?

is he able to make any for R33 GTST > 330mm rotors?

I'll have to ask, he was doing them as a favour for me. but im going a bit of a different way now - see below

this things a rig!!! love it!!

thanks man, means a lot coming from someone with a car like yours :)

i have just ordered a new Sparco Pro 2000 as i need to log book my car. i want to enter the CAMS NSW supersprints and apparently i fall into 4D category. i need add a couple of extra roll bars in too.

I also just ordered some new front brakes. Wilwood 4 pot superlites? they are a 330mm 2 piece rotor so should stop alright now. budget end of braking i know but should work really well i think.

  • 3 weeks later...

Brakes came last week. Got them trial fitted while waiting for some safty wire to show up.

Thanks mang :)

Finally bit the bullet and bought an R33 gearbox, was $800 and local so couldn't say no.

I have two events this month, 1st is the SAU texi at Sutton and the 2nd is a TCC Interclub SS at wakie on the 27th. It will be the last drive until Nationals as my first born is due June 1st, im guessing I’ll be too tired for anything else :)

Got a bit to do over the next week so stay tuned for updates.

New seat will be put in this weekend and im going to make up some boot/wing supports to stop it flexing as well.

Saftywire finally came, bolts got all wired up.

not too bad for my first go at it.

all fitted up, will be bled tomorrow and bedded in.

(bought a pair of S13 BC coilovers for the front to replace the S14 ones it had)

yep, im a lucky sob.

took the dip at the SAU Texi day too quick and this is the result

LH LCA, castor rod and camber tops all came loose and moved. the only damage to the suspension was two of the camber plate bolt on the rh got bent when it moved in.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
