I'll have the resonator chopped to look inside i reckon, i just assumed it was big enough, whole system cost me $200 from wrecker, its 3 1/2inch jap and had jasma rated cannon but stepped down to 2.5 inside muffler, so i put an Xforce 3.5inch on the back ... But ive got a HKS muffler from an R33 which i drove and it sounded proper angry and has the restrictor inside, sound is important to me atleast if not many others...

Mine is getting tuned on the 20th. She will crank 300 and unopened apart from pon cams. Will update when I have it back in my hands if she doesnt kick a leg out the bed!!

Well I didnt make the 300kw club, will go back early next year for more boost. 17psi straight off the gate and boost controller turned off got me 293.8kw.

Good work anyway!

I made 289kw so I also missed out on being part of this club

how can you not know what oil you are using lol

I can't remember what my mechanic used last time he did it. He specializes in RB engines, so I trust he put in the good stuff. 10w30 motul rings a bell though, but again, no idea.

Probably due for a service soon. Cheers for the reminder.

I hope not lol.

Have a look through the first few pages for oil reccomendations :)

Can't believe people still pay top dollar for big name brand exhausts when they are all known to have step downs and all sorts of restrictions.

Custom exhaust with your own choice of cat and mufflers every day of the week, it's a real no brainer.

cause it doesn't matter how many time people get told and shown they still choose to close their eyes and cover their ears in pure ignorance

Hmm, I would be interested to know difference in price also - custom v name brand. I know the tomei expreme is supposed to be 3.5" but It is very very very expensive for a cat back system (probably being titanium).

waaaay to thin, asking for trouble

For the power I am making, or in general?

My pressures seem to be ok. I had a look through "The goods on oils" page and it seems a lot of people are saying Nulon 10w40 is a decent oil. What would be the issue running that?

I'm doing my dump to tip in 4 inch at the moment.

$710 for two SMB mufflers at my size (the biggest I thought I could squeeze in there).

$435 for 6 m of 4 inch tube, 3 90's, 4 45 degree bends and a 3 to 4 inch expander.

Labour to do it, not sure.

Few bucks for hangers.

You only wanting a car back should be done in 4 to 5 hours with a good operator and half the amount in material.

Ive used nulon 15w50 full syn. in my 33 for years. Ive never had an issue. Plenty of street driving, and a lot of track work. Im only about to switch to Penrite 10 Tenths due to switching to E85.

I believe Nulon make a quality product. I also use their red coolant and power steering fluid. I use Redline Shockproof in my g/box and diff, but haven't looked at anything nulon offer for them yet. They'll be getting serviced before this rebuild is finished, so I might see what the have there.

I had massive issues with motul oils before that, hence the change.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
