Nah I just want a standard one with the front chopped or a legit GTR one. Only running this one as this happened unfortunately.

Edit. Forums being gay can't upload pics. Bonnet made love with windscreen and roof.

I remember when your 6th piston didnt like the world and overheated.

quick question, are you still running the gktech clutch Fan?

Because ive heard nothing but problems with that fan on Neo engines, Stock is better.

stock fan with a decent radiator works tits, those GK Tech fans are hideous - pointless mod, I removed two of them off 2x S15s that were overheating on the track.

Yep still using GKtech fan. Temps are fine but haven't abused it on a really hot day yet. I need to find a R32 radiator shroud first then a stock clutch fan that actually works which will be difficult. Once I have all the parts I will do it then :)

Have Gktech fan on S2 RB25, stock shroud, temps are great, done many laps with no problems. Only complaint is fan hub is always locked when running, but don't know if that's because of the fan or not.

Bought a shroud, should be here mid week. Doing a drift day at wakefield next Monday so I'm super keen for that.

Bought some tyres to get out on rims, as did my friends. Lucky we have access to a tyre changer!

Cam seal has been leaking since the car has been running. Decided to fix it today. Pulled all the shit off and found scoring in the exhaust cam, and also found some black shit on it as well, looks like the seal may have been unlubricated and is slightly melted onto the cam. Sweet.

So undecided what to do at the moment. Will grease them up and has been suggested to put the seal back in but not in the same position as before. IE 1mm further in or out.

Also had planned to do a wakefield drift day 2 weekends ago, but the night before it the MAP sensor on my ECU dishonoured it's family and killed itself for some reason. So took it to Jez and he swapped it over for me (top bloke).

Fun times.

I'd like to know how you get the timing right, is it just a matter of getting the right belt , install tensioner on block and just line the marks up or is there a more precise way to get it spot on?

Can you get adjustable wheels for both intake and exhaust side then? Just trying to visualise how the crank and two cams can be in the exact spot without having everything adjustable..

Can you use the tensioner for adjusting it too? hmm

Edited by AngryRB

Was just after a quick answer, i know what a tensioner is for, thanks for your wise answer, its an hour drive each way with an engine on the ute for me so id rather learn on here... from what ive read so far, the timing on an RB30DET can be tricky compared to a stock RB25, ill just line the marks up and let my tuner check and adjust it before its tuned then.. ;)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
