Cage is all painted, might need a bit of a tidy up before WTAC so it looks pretty. Dash is back in, with the cluster. Cleaned up a bit of ugly stereo, turbo timer, alarm system wiring while I was at

I have the 4.3 ring and pinion if you want to try and wake up a few revs. I get what you mean about gear change but its definitely the less of the evils looking at how lazy it is out of Dandy and on to the straights. It looks lazier than my RB20 with a TD06

I have a 4.3 with a nismo 2 way in it. We have been using it up to date. But the 1.5 way provide much better turn in.

Lol..wow and its still that lazy. Are you still in the std manifild? Maybe if you want the power you need to get a better manifold in it.

I have gone 4.1 as it will give me better drive using 2nd and 17" tyre i run at places like Sandown and Winton.

Just to carify, it has the 4.11 1.5 way in it at the moment. However only for the last two Sandowns. Previous to that it had a 4.3 2 way for the last 18 months.

I do like the 4.3 ratio and punchiness out of the corners, but the 1.5 way turn in is amazing.

So a 4.3 1.5 way would be killer.

Well done in the shootout John! Very entertaining! :)

Was good to watch!!!!!!

Well done mate!!

great effort, you should be proud.

I reckon the Open and pro guys have you to thank for drying out the track :P

Nice drift

Thanks everyone.

Finishing 4th in Club and fastest RWD in club. The car didn't have a huge amount left in it, we could have dipped into the 1.40's but that lap didn't come together.

Putting the 4.11 diff in the car was the wrong move, but we go on top of that early on Thursday in testing, changed back to the 4.3.

Amazing work...huge crecit to you to be getting the results you do. You almost motivate me to get my car back out there but tired of being broke

Doesn't need massive HP, just be reliable. Worst thing is working on it more than driving it.

Yeh, my problem is my Skyline is still a road car and after 14 years of club/track work it had really taken its toll and so much of it was worn and need replacing. Woudl have bene easier to go and buy a neat std R32 and put my good gear in it and go dedicated track R32..but meh...when the R32 is back on the road it will be a tidy and reliable bus and hopefully a tad quicker than it used to be to boot

Yep learnt that one. Front mount plenum cost a lot of headache. Fabricator buggered my motor and it's never been the same since.

Just took out my motor with buggered bearings and about to put the replacement one in during the week.

Yes, less dicking around means less dicking around.

Had the left side of the engine bay out over the weekend replacing the exhaust manifold gasket. Which had blown out 1,2 and 6 cyl.

However once we got the manifold off, we opted to change that as well. The one that was on there had never been swaped out, so 19yrs of service. The last 3 pretty much all track days. Another standard manifold has gone back on.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
