Hey guys....

Happy Festive seasons !!

im having to drive around some niggling problems at the moment...RPM is capped at 7,000rpm as there is a apparent ignition breakdown that needs to be addressed above this point and its also half throttle out of horseshoe, last turn and gears 5 and 6 to prevent breakdown.

Looking at upgrading to some LS1 coils :)

i have noticed that keeping it in the lower gear means the car enters the corner alot more eagerly vs the higher gear which settles the car and gives me a chance to process whats happening :P

i will definately pencil down these pointers but figured i need to put together 11 turns and a clean lap before i start to push

harder at certain points :cheers:

GOAL is for car to break 1:02s by August 2012 - all input greatly appreciated!!!!

Plan is to increase revs to 8000rpm, increase stroke :) ,increase boost (currently low boost), reduce some more weight and sort out the suspension further!!

I have to ask.. the fitting that goes in your oil filler hole.. what is the point of that?

It cant be a catch can return cause oil doesnt flow up, and even if it was why would u return trapped oil in the head back to the head. dont mean anything rude or offensive it just has been baffling the crap outta me for weeks

It was something i saw on a fellow members car (Stuart's R33GTR) and his rationale made sense.

Apparently all his breathing issues resolved itself when the oil cap was tapped and turned into another 'breather' point.

Idea is under G-forces, oil is pushed to back of motor. Having a hole at the front, helps the breathing for the motor and

prevents oil getting pushed out from the back

hope this makes sense :thumbsup:

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
