Hi SAU.

ESMck.jpg

For a few years now me and some mates have been taking holidays down at my folks farm in Lake Grace (WA). We take cars out there, thrash them, race them, jump them, destroy them, and video it and later on I put the results into a video for funsies.

Lake Grace is covered in salt lakes and pretty flat farm land, so we've made a few tracks out there (latest one this Easter is 2.82km long, going to be set up with a grandstand/observation platform, pits etc).

Here is a car list (probably missed some out):

Excel - dead

Barina - dead

Datto 200b - was dead, now living

RWD Celica - dead

RX7 - was dead, now living

Ford 4L - dead

Ford 4L - half dead

Civic ute - alive

97 Magna - alive

skyline buggy - alive

Here are the videos, in order. Skyline buggy is the last video if you want to skip, they are like 10min each

Yeah the rb25det buggy went pretty hard. Bit shaky and needs its control arms remade and with sloppier suspension. converting it to manual among other things and it should be ready for next year, lol. pinch.gif

thanks for watching, and if you have any bashers in WA you want to give to a good cause.... wub.gif

awesome work all round dude... love the tracks, the cars and the buggy... I want some land to thrash cars on!

that buggy needs a hell of a lot more suspension travel though... it would be a monster with some proper off road shocks on it

trying to keep it competitive with the rotor through corners while reducing or eliminating the bumpy ride. lots of rubber bushes in order...

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Did a little bit this afternoon and pulled the dump and turbo off so I could take the mani off to clean it up and give it a few coats of paint. Wire wheeled what I could get to and then got the sand paper out to get the tight spots. Gave it one coat so far, will do another two tomorrow and see if I can fit it in the oven to bake it for an hour along with the adapter and dbw.  Hoping the exhaust wrap I ordered turns up soon so I can wrap the dump and screamer. Ordered 30M so I'll wrap back as far as I can to help a little with temp next to the box and also the floorpan.

      Yeah I think overall I’m running the expected power I should be running for now and I’ll just enjoy it for the time being until I get some other parts. Thanks for the advice mate I appreciate it!

      That's fair enough.  Might be time to just enjoy what you have until you sort the ecu/flex sensor situation. You can pretty much guarantee that you are knock limited and e85 is going to be the solution to more power.

      He didn’t provide that info to me but I think I’m on standard timing. And no we don’t have e85 on the petrol stations here but it’s widely available here from shops. I’m just planning on getting a better ecu before switching to e85

      Seems bang on to me , g30-900 will make 900 crank on e85(on paper). Deduct ~25% for 98 and you are at 675 crank. Run that to the wheels and fact you are only running 26psi you end up about your number.  People forget how magic E85 is now that just about everyone is running it.   "Back in the day" you had to be north of 30psi on a 850+hp turbo to get 600 at the wheels on 98.
