I gave a freshen up a little while ago but still factory internals. I change the oil every 5k with out fail and sometimes more often depending on what Ive used the car for. Yeah cam caps was the original colour but it was still a lot cleaner than most SR's

You can't replace the rear wheel, it is attached to the shaft. By the time you replace all the seals and bushes and get it balanced you will be far beyond $500 I assume. Ring Stao (hypergear), he would be the cheapest around for a rebuild quote...

While I'm here may as well report that my little Kando td06 powered 33 finally got out on the track..few hot laps at Phillip island and no busted wheels yet that I know of...

Felt good too, pulled like a steam train right through 5th gear down the main straight, blew the doors of some poor chap in a wrx but you could feel it well and truely runs out of legs by redline..

There was a couple of corners where some extra response would be nice too..

Think the car was overdue for a good flogging, cause its running much nicer now than it has in ages..

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
