Update: they're now claiming that incorrect coolant has caused both buildup in the radiator , and they don't cover warranty for corrosion...?!

Last time I checked, corrosion caused the opposite effect to buildup. Coolants used have been as per their rocommendation since the beginning.

They claimed that straight water came out of the radiator when they received, which we politely explained was due to me having to refill it to limp the car 8km to my mech after the car was towed home from the last Stagea cruise.

It's getting pretty frustrating now, but I'm adamant that we have done nothing wrong. The real pain is not having the beast on the road during the coldest part of the year!

Will update when things progress...

Wrong Coolant eh? What a coincidence...

Good luck with that. I hope you get a good time. Nay, I'm expecting you to get a good time (for a M35 anyways).

I too wish you luck!

I'm going to take a punt. 13.2 at 114mph.

That's my guess.

Good luck buddy, still a few teething problems with mine, I'm not sure I want to hit 200kph on the new disks/pads, that and I had a couple of cooler clamps let go today. I will try to have it ready for the next one. :)

Mate, enough with the excuses, lol. There's no need - that's a great time regardless. Good job :cheers:

Today I pulled the passenger side valve cover off. Getting pretty quick at removing the plenum, associated plumbing & wiring (it's my 3rd time afterall :( )

This time there's no sign of oil leaking past the gasket so I must have got it right last time. Afaik that only leaves the banjo oil line on top of the turbo as the culprit. Looks like the turbo's gotta come out again, & that's gonna take a lot longer :/

Sniff...makes me sad.

      I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...

      It's either an ignition failure or a fuel failure.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Piggaz · Posted

      The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
