So the choice was go 2nd hand and risk it again OR do it right the first time, i chose this way

Getting very serious now mate, I think it's probably fair to say our builds are no longer very similar :laugh:

Seriously, lookin farkin amazing!

Haha yeah well we may have got a tad carried away BUT I'm not touching the fuel system again, I've attended 2 SAU events and both have been embarrassing due to a shortcut from the start, the time came to let JEM work their magic and make the thing tough as nails....

The balancer was just bad luck, but hey more black parts to add to the build and another impressive name to add to the list....

Many people are asking if it will run more power now with the fuel system, I am pretty certain the answer is NO as its tuned safe, as much as I'd love that 500rwhp figure the turbo just won't do it I don't think....

I'll just be happy to drive it hard for once on full power for more than half a lap.... :)

What causes damage to the balancer?

Just age man! Its rubber and my car has done 145k or something like that..... So i wont be replacing it again anytime soon :D

Oh total secks, fapping at fuel setup & balancer....

do you still retain the A/C as well with that balancer?

Yeah everything is retained! Its like a stock replacement, only prettier! :D

ooh yezz... mabs I do the same hahaa..I was thinking of using a R34 Neo balancer on my R33 hahaahha.... don't want to shatter oil pumps and kapow motor

You wont when you see the price of them :O

Mine's done 170,000 might need to look at it then.

Surely you would go for one Balls and All tune to crack 500rwhp then back it off a touch.

Oh and as some may have noticed, the bonnet is freshly painted but does not yet have the lip back on as i havent had the time.......

You may want to run some allthread through the top and bottom flanges of the oil cooler to make sure its core is compressed/supported. When at temp if the thing just hangs from the top they can start to delaminate and damage the core. They need to be fully supported, especally if they are getting hit and banging around on a circuit.

New 25 balancers are about $300

Thats not too bad, for NEO as well?

Yeah wouldnt hurt to have a quick look!

Nope, pretty sure the turbo is maxed, not worth the risk for a number i guess.... As much as id love to have it :laugh:

What a nugget!!! :-P

Cant wait to cruise mate... its been a while!

Lol you clown ;) Hurry up and get the "Coz Racecar Evo" ready...

Thanks Roy, Appreciate the input... Ill see what i can do, maybe ill try incorporate a support when i work out the ducting etc....

    • 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.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
