PIARC weekend was fun. Next time out we'll be racing together at the Winton 300 rather than against each other.

Yep, me. Been running since the start of the season and ive never had more fun in a car! (The GTR is a different beast, I still love it). It is a serious amount of fun with grids as large as 23 (I t

Correct.Only standard rebuild tolerance is accepted. You can bore 0.6mm out the block. You can take 0.25mm off the head. But the compression has to be with a specified range. It's all in the regs.

Will try and post up some vids later. The "win" vid is pretty unexciting if I'm honest.

However the rest of my weekend sure was a lot more interesting in a way than my first day.

Sunday morning we had our full audit scrutiny done - of which part was to test the kill switch. What I didn't know is that a kill switch cut-off in my car sends the car into limp mode.

This was only discovered as I headed out onto the track to take my position on pole for race 2. Unfortunately it meant I had to head into the pits and had a DNS for race 2. The fix for the limp mode is a simple plug into a PC and clear the fault so I was fixed 5 mins later but it was a simple lesson learnt on my first race weekend.

Upshot of this was it meant for the final race I started from the back of the grid. Conditions on Sunday were dry so the top GT cars had more speed on me regardless but none the less I was able to make my way from 20th all the way back up to 5th by the end of the 12 lap race. In reality I probably would have ended up in 5th even if I started 5th as the top cars are a good few secs / lap quicker than me at this stage.

But it was great fun coming through the field and was a nice learning experience including some pretty fun passes such as going between 2 cars down the main straight with only a few cm's space on each side.

Was good fun and I look forwards to the next one in Oct.

Here's the race win vid. Other than trying to go from hero to zero at turn 2 and dealing with lapped traffic at the end (yep I had lapped traffic in a 4 lap race) it's not all that exciting.

Still - here it is.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
