Oh also...

I am the 1st person in history that after not having HICAS for years, loves the feel of it now that i have it. Legit cannot understand why people lock it out, i can understand removing it for the weight, but the car has so much more direction above 80km/h. 

Because it's great when you're driving 7/10 but at the limits (on the track) it's unpredictable and makes the rear end too floaty.
In short great for the street/casual driving.

This ^^

Durign a 7/10ths hill run, I have no issue with it, but it was squirrely as hell when turning into the big left hander at Winton at 150+ Rear end didn't know what it wanted to do. 

In the end I had to just tip it with trail braking in and let the car settle itself before making the change of direction mid corner. 

I should add, I have no major issue with it as it only bothers when driving hard and that's not the norm. 

Track car has no HICAS so happy days.

Picked the car up from the mechanics after a tidy up and a re tune. For now i have dropped E85 back to 98 whilst i wait to re do the fuel system (again), as i don't like the setup i currently have. I want to go a Frenchys Performance in tank kit and really tidy the boot up. Where i live E85 is now more difficult to get as well, so 98 for the next little bit. 

Also went a little more conservative with the tune, dropping the boost a bit. Big thanks to PSracing here in Canberra for the mechanical work, and JEM for the tune. Both Petros (PSRacing) and Adam (JEM) have done an amazing job.

So currently going through replacing the front window trims, managed to get the bottom outside ones brand new relatively cheap... but my god the top ones are eye watering. Might attempt a DIY/find a good set of second hand ones before even considering buying new.

I didn't realise when i ordered them that they come with the felt runners on them. So that actually saved me a heap of f**king around as mine were completely buggered. Now to get the scratches removed from the drivers window!

This weekend ill be attempting to restore the passenger side top weather strip. Hopefully it works, otherwise i'll buy brand new for myself as a christmas present! I have a new contact that can get OEM parts very cheap, which is a nice help!

And 1 side is done. Overall pretty happy. Could have spent more time on it, but I discovered that the rubber had actually sagged, would require bog and a heap of sanding to fix. So I'll just wait until they are make again next year.... Hopefully anyway lol.

The drivers one is heaps worse, so let's see how I go on that side.

So the turbos are going to have to come off again briefly.... 

Dump pipes and front pipes whilst im there? Me thinks. 

Will probably go HPI dumps, jut not sure on the front pipes. Undecided if i go all out Jap stuff @Piggaz hate begins, specifically a TI setup..... OR i go custom made here in Canberra. Though we have no one able to work with TI (to my knowledge, i have called the best shops here) in Canberra, so it would have to be stainless.

The biggest issue i have at the moment is my love for titanium, but i'm also an old man and can't stand loud/droney cars. So that puts exhausts like the Tomei off my list. Leaning towards a fuji Super TI at the moment, as i really can't justify another $2,000 to go a mines exhaust. Eh i dunno. 

Mine is HPI dumps and matching front pipe into custom 3.5" from my fabricator. Not loud or droney at all and flows well enough it seems. 

Send your car to him, I'll make sure he looks after it and even test drive it for you ;)

I just used an Apexi N1 Evolution Rear muffler and a nice big Magnaflow mid-muffler.

Haha how kind of him! 

TBH i quite like the note of my current exhaust, realistically there is no reason to change it at this point. 

I currently have Stock dumps (lol)> Custom front pipes> HKS Super Dragger

Realistically i could Just replace the dumps and be done with it until funds permit a full Ti system....

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
