Had the oznats over the weekend...

The car wasnt finished but just bolted it together... need to finish the interior and the front end , side skirts etc etc

Have to sort out my traction issues. Even with slicks i cant keep the power down. If you listen to the video im constantly on and off throttle and constantly loosing traction. even on the well prepped drag strip. any ideas would be great

Long time coming but i got the car tuned, again. This time by a different tuner and to say it was tuned badly seems an understatement.

Havent had a chance to take it out to the drags again but have a drift prac day coming up in 3 weeks i think, so will test it out then

attached the new dyno print out

I wanted an FP HTA turbo before i got mucked around and sent a wrong turbo.  Nice to see it made plenty of power

Put on some AR1s  285s all round and went and did a track day at mallala on sat.

was a blast. car went really well and the tyres were excellent for the price

i now need to upgrade the brakes as it boiled its guts out and lost all braking by the end. and also get some coilovers to

But was a great day!

forgot to add.

had the VCT sorted working and tuned before the track day. You could see a bit of a difference on the dyno print out. but the butt dyno it made a hell of a difference. felt boost came on so much earlier and smoother. made the car so much easier to drive and so much quicker all round.

Funny how much it changed the whole feeling of the car

No, but we did one earlier this year so I've got a fairly good handle on what's needed. We used a stock bottom end (found an RB30 bottom end that had never been run). 

It's the little things that you'll need to sort out:

- the oil feed for the VCT (the machine shop we use has done quite a few 25/30's & knows what's needed),

-what you do with the cold start crap and associated hoses (we removed pretty much all of it, and don't regret it),

-coolant lines on the intake side (once again we got rid of some),

-the oil drain / breather on the front exhaust side (RB30 block doesn't have the port for this),

-engine mounts / raising the bonnet (we kept the mounts stock, and raised the rear of the bonnet with some spacers under the hinges - also had to ditch the strut tower brace. Didn't want to lower the mounts as we have an extended sump, and didn't want it to be the lowest part of the car),

-the dump pipe (had to cut & extend ours, as turbo was now 40mm higher),

-you'll probably need a new RB30 water pump (the RB25 one has a slotted hole, which doesn't quite cover the water channel in the block - ask me how I know),

-the intake piping (once again because the top of our engine was higher, we needed longer intake pipe silicone joiners on the intake pipes, just above the exhaust manifold. Had to buy a 1 metre length as we couldn't find the right size in smaller lengths),

-you will need to buy a second timing belt tensioner & a longer timing belt

-intake side wiring - we had to make up some extended loom mounts because the head was now higher.

 

I can't think of anything else at the moment. If you want the machine shop's contact details let me know - he's in Pooraka. We are loving the engine - the torque delivery is beautiful.

looking at some budget coils.

    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
    • That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
