Brilliant.

The cover was enough to make me buy it... havent had a read yet but there is a sexy red R33 GTST with 307 rwkw owned by Denzo the great with a carbon bonnet (woohoo) Vs. a Red RX7.

also noticed a modded RS Stagea wagon mm

Go buy it:uh-huh:

:lol: C'mon Matt it's not too bad for an internally stock 2.5L :)

Mind you it runs a 1.2mm HKS h/g, cams, head work, & every other possible bolt on! I watched this thing do a few 290+rwkw runs that were pretty impressive (@ 1.5 bar I think?).

Important point!!! IF it doesn't still run stock internals, as quoted on the JMS site(& @ the Adelaide Autosalon) then I'm not that impressed.

Its reliability & longevity with ~300rwkw on stock internals is the most interesting factor :uh-huh:

Here's the car in question - http://www.japanesemotorsport.com.au/newr33.html

OK! :)

I bought it today. The red GTS-t with carbon fibre bonnet looks omg sexy :eek: ...I didn't think it would suit a red car but that's changed my mind.

pete, yeah that was funny hey! I'm glad they wrote about that...the newspaper article was total crap and it's good to see someone in the media giving them a bagging :)

Yeah, it would be interesting to see how long she does it for... Bloody nice looking car in any case... It's convinced me to order the 400R front bar + carbon bonnet :)

How you been anyway Matt, I haven't heard from you in a while!

It sure does look nice :uh-huh: It's interesting to see just how far stock RB25 internals can go?!

It'd be nice to nail down the maximum safe hp level so we know how far we can push :D Not that it's relevant to you Matt :)

Yeah I'm not too bad mate :D The arrival of :gaga: has kept me busy though. I now look a little like this ---> :coffee:

the articles in speed pretty average - do they actually drive the cars or just crap on about them, last issues I am buying.. 307kw form a GTS-T weak!!! Good old SR20DET can do 301rwkw with no internal mods either and its missing 2 cyl and half a litre....

If you actually read the current issue..

SPEED has probably already receivde quite a few emails/mails about the Integra type R featured in it... (not that we really care about honduh :) )

This is what SPEED replied to one of the loyal readers/buyers:

Hi,

Yeah, quite a few people picked up on that blooper. It's supposed to be 169km/h. We'll publish a retraction next issue.

Hope you liked the rest of the magazine.

Cheers,

Curt Dupriez

SPEED

I'v read it at newsagent.. Ralph/FHM seems to be good reading too.. :)

I bought "Speed" and was not overly impressed with it... It took about 30 mins to read and then i threw it in the bin. Wasnt worth buying.. I think i will stick to the "Option DVD magazine".

This is just my thoughts.

Nick.

im not sure if its a mistake, but with the integra type R, it says "Power is now 108kw at the wheels, thanks to $30,000 of go-fast components" now that is a damn lot of $$$$$$ to spend to get 108kw at the wheels. i thought that the type R would have that much power normally. or are honda's that weak? hehe.

    • I had a similar situation with my R32 GTS4. I replaced that solenoid, but it hasn't solved the problem. So its possible the pump is failing. It seems you need to drop the diff in order to do anything that might fix this. So its important to know exactly what the problem is. Or just replace / repair everything while the diff is out.
    • Yep, I was supprised. Its all about flow rather then housing size.  Doing G35-900 Vs ATR45SS-1 Next. 62mm V 61mm. 
    • Of course sometimes you cannot go with the cheaper alternative but I try to weigh it up for the application - am I competing or am I going to the track ten times p/yr. As long as there’s enough information out there to back the cheaper alternative as a good option I’ll go for that.   I’m a bit of a bastard though as it’s my job to reduce costs, particularly on non income generating assets. EUR 500 saved for the diff + EUR 1,000 saved on BC racing over Bilstein and then say EUR 300 versus EUR 600 on an off brand windscreen versus OEM (for example) soon accumulates. I mean, I’m probably gonna put the car in the ditch anyway. Absolutely do not take this as a justification for always buying cheap shitty parts, just a rationale for doing your research and considering what’s necessary for your application.    
    • All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.
    • Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
