odd that they used a 12 second ramp time on the power run

usually its 9, still makes the same power but boost looks like it comes on earlier

great result tho, gotta be happy with that, no wonder you were struggling with power on the track, i'd be getting some 285's or something on the back

also, you should try and find your other 2 cylinders, you might make more power ;)

Hey Guys, Just thought I'd make a new thread for my GTS Build instead of flooding the other one. Here is the before shot One ugly, poorly maintained, unloved skyline. Set me back $3500. It's a

Ok, next person that mentions Stagea's in my build thread is going to get it.

STAGEA- HA HA!!

Seriously though... sounded good out on the track, just need to lay off the limmiter half way down the back straight! ha ha.

that's an awsome shot 'peeling out' :spank:

How did your brakes hold up?

Cheers

Brakes were fine, I didn't lean on them that hard really though.

I was watching the road too much and not the tacho and the ol RB is so much smoother than the WRX so I can't tell when it's on the limiter because it feels and sounds like you could double the revs and it'd love it. I think I might actually need some of those shift-i dash lights or something. We get a discount if we get 3 people or more, anyone else keen?

Ah I'll learn, I was picking it up by the end of the day.

I have a Ecliptech Shift-I that I no longer need as I have gone with a logger dash, Pm me if interested.

i forgot you had a good pump, you should be good you bang your hart out with that

Giggity.

Can't wait to take it out drifting again, it's going to be sweeeeeeeeet.

I don't think I'll get 18s any more, maybe just another pair of 17x8 for steer tyres so then I'll have

Grip

Koya Driftek. 17x9 rear, 17x8 front

Drift

4x Gmax Drift for Rears and D1Rs for the front? Tempted by those R34 GT-T wheels that tobs has for sale too. Then I'll have 3 pairs of rears.

with tyre changers at every drift event there is hardly a need for spare rims. i haver always been a super organised and taken like 6 pairs of rims and rairly do i need them. i dont think i have ever run out of tyres at the track.

also drifting on brand new rubber helps this as well. the rubber is cheap for us drift boys so take advantage of it i say.

It's true, tyre changer at the event is handy :) That's why I was thinking, just a pair of D1Rs would be enough, but 4 wheels with tyres for the same price is pretty hard to pass up...

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
