I depends how you split your moneys, i see it as tyres are a consumable like fuel and rego though if your going through tyres at the same rate as fuel you've got an issue

Engines aren't much different to tyres, especially if you own a RB26 :yes:

hahahahah. i like this. alot.

the wife wouldnt tho.

having created butthurt over at micra hq, ill predominantly update here. seem the old guard dont like it when two blokes get together in a shed and build something good (but not necessarily better) for 10% of what they have spent.

now i know it was a roller dyno, so the 169kw wont be spot on, but f**k. chill the f**k out.

oh well. i didnt set out to build australias most powerful micra, (even if i have, ITS A MICRA WHO GIVES A f**k)

Sorry, I seem to have accidentally stoked the fire. :P

my mini gtr just scored some mini gtr wheels.

alright gents. how have we been?!

after a spirited drive on saturday (finally getting used to this thing!) i woke up sunday morning to see a small patch of oil under the car.

got her up on ramps, and found out that the rear main seal, installed about a month ago, appears to be leaking.

now seeing as i currently have 3 other cars at my disposal, i decided to fix her over time, so i started with disconnecting everything.

im in two minds as to weather i should do the head gasket/turbo/timing chain/arp studs now...... all comes down to money i guess, if i get my bonus and tax cash before shes back on the road ill get it done.

this will be the last update on the car affectionately nicknamed by my wife as "the green turd" thanks for that mcm.

for a while anyway. she will be back by the end of september.....

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
