Hi Guys,

Just a quick G'day. Picked up my S13 about a month or 2 ago in Sydney, spent a weekend in Newcastle where I used to live and now it's home in Tamworth. Hope to get along to a few cruises or the odd texi looks like good fun!

It has a RB25DET conversion along with R33 gearbox, previous owner said it was tuned at JEM to 180rwkw, on about 14psi. 5 Stud conversion with bigger brakes, also has coilovers, rides rough but will slide!

Pictured with my mates RB20DET 31, it also spent a bit of time around Newcastle before coming back to Tamworth.

Nice sleeper you have there :D High flow/Kando/Hypergear they should all net you some decent gains with the right supporting mods..... A mate had one with a baby 20 in it and it hauled ass at 220kw so with a high flow and 250ish HOLD ON! :woot:

Oh god. links seem to be harder to fix than the car.

Been making a fair bit of progress from where it started when I got it:

  • Removed one of the two turbo timers
  • Re-wired the other turbo timer so now it should work properly
  • Upped the boost a little - need a new wastegate spring to get much more now!
  • New plugs, oil, fuel filter, cleaned air filter and now running heaps better (iridium plugs were a waste of $ - back to copper now)
  • Removed AFM as i discovered it's not in use with the haltech computer (MAP)
  • Re-wired thermo fans after a failure in wiring/relay setup (got hot!)
  • Patched loom where one wire had fried all its insulation and was exposed live for a good meter in dash/loom
  • Currently installing wideband 02 sensor and guage to keep an eye on fuel for more boost

Been prowling the classifieds for a better turbo...

I'll have a look at their gear properly soon-had a quick flick through his info earlier. If i can get that sort of power figure i'd be pretty happy, in stock location would be good to save $ and it's already engineered as is so hopefully wouldn't get too much trouble from the po. Are their setups very laggy with stock manifold?

from what I've seen, with just an external welded to the stock manifold guys are on full noise around 3600~3700rpm

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
