Fark it needs a good clean! Also need to sort out some heat sheilds on the hot side as there is some meltage happening on a few things :blink:

34GTR front end is awesome!

Certainly look tough and love the fact the front guards accomodate such large rims..... I considered it a while back but it hard to do to a GTT and do it right, you really have to do the rear guards etc to make it looked balance and its big $$$, ill just stick with what i have and make it work the best i can :D

Tractor is out of place in those pics.

Suppose they used it to tow all those broken cars out to the carpark?

Haha that is one tractor i am NOT picking on, it has way more bragging rights and power than ill ever have :P

Oh no picks of my blue beast that was on the hoist. Looking good.

And yes you definitely need to sort some sort of heat sheild before SMSP :P

Lol i dont want to have everyone looking at your beast and not mine :P

Yeah i guess it hasnt been punished for prolonged periods other than the dyno so will see how it hold up with the heat i guess!

Sort it out.

You will melt shit and be put out of the track day otherwise- take it from my experience. Have a look right round teh hot side on the chassis, and cover any loom, pipes, harness, P/S and whatever else you don't want to toast. Mine melted cops tail conduit stuff straight off, started toasting the wiring loom, and I got a misfire. That was with a Beanie on the turbz. High mounts throw heat big time.

What did you use to cover all your looms etc?

Mine has melted all the plastic hose connectors and black sheathing already! You know, coz racecar!

Dunno - haven't sorted it yet.

At the track Eric put a redbull can over the loom, no shit. Sorted it for the day.

I have a sheet of aluminiumised fibreglassy stuff- thats what I'll probably use, wrap it up. I don't want to cut up one of those nice slip on hose protectors.

This is what I did, works fine.

Would have used some sheet, but I had to buy half a meter of the sleeve to do my 10cm turbo oil return pipe, so I had plenty left over. Just sliced it in half, wrapped up my cables, and cable tied it together. No problems thus far, though I don't have a high mount...

Hmmm well another thing on the To Do list!

Is there any black heat shield crap i can cut up and use to stay with the whole stealth theme?

I know there are a couple of things that need wrapping!

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • 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
