I started to clean up and detail the rear wing as well

IMG_4926_zps2250c4f1.jpg

is actually a time consuming job but worth it in the end

Time to remove that nismo sticker I had on the back of the rear wing to make things smoother

I sourced some OEM parts thanks to my good friend Robbie $$slowmedown and even got to meet Marcus elrodeo666 who is a top bloke

IMG_0833_zps25aded09.jpg

but before any of this goes on I wanted to make certain I rust proof that wing

IMG_0839_zps58625737.jpg

these brackets were going to get the treatment of lifetime

IMG_0841_zps6920c1f8.jpg

first some rust-guard primer

IMG_1019_zps0aeecdbb.jpg

IMG_1017_zpscd794843.jpg

and then some anti-rust black (final) coat

I also decided to paint strip and lightly sand the rear wing stay pods

then give them a coat of this

again dupli*color DSSB01 (closest thing to Nissan Crystal White)

I haven't put a coat of clear on yet but will do so next time I take them off and then sand them down and cut to perfection

Want to work on my car for a few months ants?

I like how you've removed the nismo off the rear wing. I reckon the one on the bonnet should go too. What do you think?

lol bring the car around and I will

I will have to agree Scottie and will also remove the front nismo sticker

However, I have some other things to post up for now

I'll just trade you cars for the month mate... Feel the 3L power!

Then I can rack up the km's on yours and feel that AWD acceleration

that sounds like a great idea scottie - I will have to test drive the Scottie mobile someday and you can test drive mine :)

How much where the gaskets and Brackets? Mine is exactly the same :/

Its actually a common thing mate, and as the cars are aging it will become more and more susceptible to car cancer

All up it costs me less than $100 (still exy for what it is but thats Nissan)

Brackets were $55

Gaskets were supplied by Robbie at $40

Track time!

well firstly..........................................

I gave the ant-eater some fresh blood and filter because I :wub: her

one very early Sunday morning (5:00am)

IMG_1087_zps241cd9ee.jpg

On the way to Lakeside Parkway (raceway) - fog!

IMG_1086_zpsa65a1a9a.jpg

Fog was indeed foggy

IMG_1088_zpsd127c9f3.jpg

but then the sunrise changed everything

IMG_1089_zpsd9caf56e.jpg

IMG_1091_zpsd370b9fc.jpg

after a little detour (thanks to shitty Iphail maps) I reached LP

IMG_1096_zpsce9aa3d1.jpg

our time on track (just happy laps) was in conjunction with the QLD EVO OWNERS CLUB which made things exciting

IMG_1103_zpsbfc53415.jpg

after a brief discussion with QR officials we were good to go

IMG_1108_zpsc2de2184.jpg

Can I say that I had a ball of a time and finally got use the cars full power on that straight

IMG_1115_zps0e276bcc.jpg

Being my first outing on track with this much power I was driving very cautiously but could certainly feel that the car needs much work with the suspension

IMG_1098_zps3a518b51.jpg

still had an amazing day and all can say is that its addictive and will not be the last time I go on track - a new chapter has started for this car ;)

another early Sunday morning

IMG_1397_zps2148bea3.jpg

arrived at QR without any problems, however...................

time to go on track

IMG_1466_zpscc7e534f.jpg

IMG_1468_zpsfca06995.jpg

had so much fun

we were on track for almost an hour - I finally feel the tyres gripping and instantly feel more confident and the car was handling very well, but that QR track can be brutal on brakes (mine were smokin lol)

IMG_1409_zpse3e0be08.jpg

Certainly enjoy finally been able to use the car for what its built for :)

I had some water under my rear boot lip which caused some nice and abstract art at the back with the unburnt fuel

IMG_1418_zps765a1247.jpg

IMG_1419_zpsec3a75bd.jpg

but I got her nice and cleaned up when I got home

heres some video footage with expert on board commentary

Knowing that I want this car to find more grip and handle better it was time to get some new performance parts :banana:

IMG_1600_zpse86c4b8f.jpg

IMG_1599_zps82956d63.jpg

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
