Thanx Packy. & No I am not putting it together myself.

I'm farming out different parts of the job to different speciallists :rant:

CMSdrifter is doing the remove & refit

Moyle engines in Bunbury ( a client of mine) engine strip & reassemble , bore & head porting,

Performance Mods "O" ringed the block

The stall converter is at Allfast

The turb is at Per4manz

SST install Wolf and tune the lot

with Dsturbd & I overseeing the whole thing!

It was supposed to save me some :bling: ...I dont know...but it is keeping me busy :)

MMMMmmmmm 3000rpm Hi Stall arived today :wassup:

Stator was left the same , but Vane angle was changed from +5 degrees to -20 degrees , with the tourque multiplication up from 2.1 to 2.6!

*FREE Bundy can to the person who can explain this to ME!*

Todd....You just want to beat me again :headspin:

  • 2 weeks later...

It's getting there now :(

My new engine is together......yay ( I got a wooly :)) & they are just bolting on the ancillary's.

Hopefully , it will go back in the hole this weekend ( or early next week ) so I can trailer the car to Perth for the computer install :wassup:

just gotta fit the new fuel pump by then.........

I'm excited Big Kev!

*Note: for those RB25ers that want to use an RB30 water pump , it Does fit , but, you have to drill & tap 1 hole.(the stock pump hole is 10mm offset :) )

It's the top hole directly under the intake cam wheel *)

Update , the engine and trans are back where they are supposed to be! YAY

Still have to bolt on alot of accessories , loom , air cond , cooler piping etc ( Go hard CMS drifter :D) but fingers crossed it will be tonite.

My turbo has returned from its 2nd rebuild in as many months thanx to the mysterious number 5 spark plug just catching the back of the exhaust wheel as it siad goodbye to the engine! On the upside I remembered to take pics of the To4e ehaust wheel , 54T comp wheel & new 12psi actuator :burnout:

I also have my new fuel pump to go in the tank. It's a Walbro Gss341 out of the states . I'll fit that before the final tune :)

*note : RB25det thermostat number is 21200-42L06 (76.5 degrees)*

I'm so excited now , I'm about ready to Pop My Cookies..... :wassup:

It LIVES!!!!

My beloved 4 door is back on the road ;) Busy running it in at the moment , only 400kms to go (read Friday!)

The Wolf is in & working a treat , the Hi Stall in a freaky experience tho :headspin: especially at the moment.With a 3000rpm lock up & a 4000rpm rev limit whilst breaking it in , the converter is constantly flaring! & there is a definate knack to making the box change cogs.After 600kms I am getting the hang of it , accelerate briskly til it locks up , then back off gently to the required speed & the converter will stay locked :)

I've learnt 2 things this week , 1) when the alternator bolt that holds the main wire on comes off! the car will only do 12kms max on battery power alone DOH!

2) where the timing belt runs round the crank there is a spacer & a Shaped washer , & if that shaped washer is put on the wrong way! , it shaves slivers off the timing belt!!! DOH! (I will try to get pics of this for future reference)

But after all that........I'm Back :D

My timing belt is being fixed "Right Now" :)

Ready to be Leant on Tommorow ;)

Below is an exploded veiw that shows my timing belt problem...hope it helps someone else :P

Washer 13021F on the crank MUST bell towards the main crank pulley , or it shaves bits of ya belt!

730 out of 1000kms :headspin:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
