after selling my RB26 S13 start of last year to fund my track car i have finally got it to the stage where i am happy to just drive it.

It has come a long way (no pun intended) since i shipped it over from JPC in Western Australia. Turning up with a dead clutch (which was replaced by the seller) and a fairly average body after finishing up second in the WA drift series last year i had a lot of maintenance to do to get it up to scratch.

Tidied it up a fair bit and took it to its first track day, was a success even tho i managed to shatter a cast rear hub :/ got it replaced over night and finished somewhere in the top 10.

Did some more tidying up, picked up a few local sponsors, 8 new matching rims, some vinyl and decent tyre's and we were back at the track. The new grip was amazing but car was severely down on power which we couldn't work out track side (ended up being dead EBC) and still managed to smash a drive shaft. But got some more valuable seat time in the car.

Pulled the car apart one last time and removed the S15 front for good. Custom 180sx conversion guards, type X front bar and a S13 bonnet with projector headlights had the car looking alot meaner. replaced drive shaft with a reco unit and back to the track with Ferds and Project D guys for a prac day at WSID on the return road (video below)

The night before i stopped in to see Chea at Powertune and had a freshen up tune performed. Made 250kw keeping it ultra safe at my request.

Was a killer day at WSID the following day and got some more valuable seat time with some fast 3rd gear entries and learning alot about how the car handles with some pace behind it. Blew another drives haft, same side but luckily someone had a spare, some cash exchanged hands and we were back on the track.

After this day i managed to secure a few extra minor sponsors to help out, and the car has received a full CAMO vinyl wrap for the 2012 season. Just waiting for some room at the signwriters so i can take car back in for the sponsor decals to be fitted.

Would like to welcome to the team

    • Scenic roads, stunning skylines, and Chickos to finish it off! Join SAU NSW as we cruise through the Royal National Park and along Lawrence Hargrave Drive to Figtree! Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
