Wanna swap role cages? I love the look of yours through the back window.

Roll cage rice? ;)

It's one of the more comprehensive bolt-in cages I've seen, out of Japan. Apart from being bolted into the floor, it's also bolted into the front, upper seat belt bolts on each side.

Made by a company called Carbing, probably long out of production.

That sticker on the top bar proudly proclaims in Engrish something like "Carbing - Enjoy Motorsport Spirits" (or something to that effect)

Still have the parts for the front section.

What's the deal in VIC with having a full cage on the road?

36c Day in Melbourne today.

Booked in to get the aircon checked out, at a place that does Hychill.

Let's see if an aircon system that hasn't been used in 9 years can still work :-/

Got these interior storage mats today. Thanks for the heads up Anfanee!

Was 30c today. Finally got the aircon sorted since I got the car. Regassed with new seals/valves with Hychill.

As far as i'm concerned. The car is as luxurious as a Bentley now.

How cold is it with the Hychill? I got mine regassed across the road and I'm not very impressed! I keep telling myself it's an old car, but I definitely think it could be better.

Pretty cold (so far). Cost me 205 dorra. How much was it across the road? I gave them the history of the car. They put an amusing disclaimer at the bottom of the receipt. Don't blame them really.

Seeing water temps at around 100c (on the HKS gauge), (93c on the Power FC), sitting in traffic.

I'm dropping it off @Racepace to get a couple of things done including taking a look at the fan clutch which might not be engaging. Also going to get a radiator fan shroud.

Bilsteins are out & the Racepace Teins RE's in. The first thing I noticed was how much lighter each coilover was compared to the Bilsteins.



Good initial impressions on public roads. Goes to show that spring rates are only half the story.


Bilsteins 7/5kg


Racepace Teins : 8/4kg



Have had them on the softest setting so far. They’re less harsh with better dampening than the Bilsteins. They do soak up minor bumps on the road rather well. Dips in the road, railway tracks and speed humps don’t have that big jolt that you’d expect. That said they’re still a track orientated coilover so they’re still very firm.



All said i’m still impressed with the Blistens as there is quite a price difference between them and the Teins. Am half tempted to keep them in storage.



Will post up some on track impressions later. Hopefully get it out to some SAU 2015 events starting with the motorkhana coming up, to get a better feel for them.

I need new suspension soon :\

What have you got in there now and what's wrong with them?

LOL. I hear you. But it'll look like the one I got within 2 track days, plus no moving parts and I need it this weekend :)

Old Teins, i may be able to rebuild them and see how they go. They are little hard for what i like. Though they could be f**ked haha

and yeah i suppose. Didn't think of track damage as mine won't ever see a day of it....

She is coming along nicely man!

BTW you got sick of that footrest yet? :woot:

I've heard that Tein Super Street's are pretty good.

Thanks mate.

LOL Funny you mention the footrest. I've got it all double sided taped but haven't put it on. Additional job for this weekend :)

Some odd and ends from RHDJapan for some upcoming small projects.

IMG_2961_zpsabe91366.jpg

Brake Line A Clamps, Sideskirt clips & Nice shiny new replacement door handles.

On a separate note, I finally measure the offset of the 17"s that came with the car.

+0 Offset TE37's. Figures why they filled out the guards so well for a 9" rim.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
