Mark saw your at today at MM and all I can say is fkn amazing, took my r35 to get it a RWC (moved to qld) and Trent showed me around the place. I'm gonna start looking into getting a set of track wheels and I'm thinking about the ones you have.

Gratz on the car, great work and a great team down at MM, I take my hat off to the lot of you :)

Will definitely try to get to a few events and make my way to WTAC in Syd

Not yet.

Hehehe. Everyone's sweating on the freakin' carbon turning up.

Drew's is alive now and sounds grumpy. If all going well (when the carbon turns up) we will see you out at QR next week.

It's getting exciting isn't it.

Cheers

The hassle with the availability of the carbon parts is beyond a joke and we are far from impressed. Not only has it delayed test days in the past but also means that people involved now will have to work ALL weekend to even get the car to the track for monday testing. Not to mention the additional cost in freight/overtime etc. Not happy Jan!

At least you guys have a plan B for parts and can drive it. Drew has no front end at all and it's even due before your parts. Hope he pulls his finger out and finishes the carbon asap. We are starting to get a little nervous!

Unfortunately it always seems to be outside contractors and suppliers who are the hold up whenever the pressure is on.

I hope you guys get it sorted, I'm super keen to see how it performs!

+1

When I worked as a small business manager I was project manager for many jobs, some going into the millions of dollars in costs.

Here in Adelaide we found the eastern seaboard states were never on the same 'level' with us timeframe-wise. If the interstate supplier had quoted 8 weeks for manufacture (add in 1 week for delivery, which I always arranged same time order was placed for product) we sort of had to allow say 10 weeks for manufacture, sometimes 12 (50% longer than quoted), simply because the late supply happened ALL the time. It was a guarantee that somewhere along the supply chain in NSW or Victoria a company would end up holding up our project. Main customer was the SA Govt. so it became nothing short of embarrassing. Didnt matter if I was in contact weekly to be updated on delivery timeframe, guaranteed the last week we'd get the 'sorry' speach......

Experienced this over 12 years in my job, it's the one part of the job I dont miss (got sacked once my kneecaps were surgically removed).

I hope you can work it out in good time.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
