yes.

okay, for the past few months i have been getting the motor to run right and pretty much cleaning the old girl up for a rwc

found a mint R32 GTR drivers seat thanks to my mate up in newcastle.

back onto the rwc issue. it is SO f**king hard to actually get one in victoria... the tester wanted all the interior trims to be put back in, but overlooked the 3" exhaust, stretched 225s and height. wtf

sup niggas.

no updates lately as i have been swamped with work.

at the moment the car is sitting tidy on the BBS RS'

i tried to get a dodgey rwc but no luck, so ill take it into the shop up the road and see what needs changing and change shit, then take it into epping kmart tyre and auto(they dont know shit about cars lol)

i have parted with the RB30 block.

reason being it wouldnt be worth building.

the alternative is across the ditch in the land of sheep f**kers.

yes, RIPS.

a forged RIPS short block would work out to be about 7.5k AUD excluding shipping and tax.

that includes stock balanced crank etc, collar, billet rods, pistons etc, blue printed, oil pumps.

so all i have to do is buy a head, reco it, throw in some cams, slap it on + turbos etc and tune it.

i know youre all dying for pics.

but ill be a cock tease and let you all wait till i do the feature and throw some pictures from there onto here.

yes, i said feature.

complete RB26 just popped up for the right price, has a spun bearing with minimal damage, so checking it out tonight and if its all sweet ill put a deposit.

rips cratey looks to be on hold for now, ill run the 26 till she blows.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
