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:

307rwkw? Is that all? :D

: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:

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:

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

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

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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
