Not that I care, but when modifying a car it has to all meet the ADR standards.

No changing can allowed, no more than a 20% more power etc.

There's something about changing to an older engine somewhere, which is a no no, but given an rb30 comes out with one cam, using a different head and cams although stock, is still changing the cam.

That's easily sorted by an emissions test though.

The 30 bottom end and 26 or 25 head is a bit of an oddball as far as the standards and law goes.

Agree this setup is perfection ^^^ if i was to go a single it would be very similar.

All will get sorted. Just needs time.

Nice to hear there is some hope among the gloom :)

I know I will be happy when it is done and love the way it drive already, I think it will be a good hill climb car.

The old set up was crap compared to how it drives now, even with the existing problems I am happier :)

Illogical statement.

It was crap because the set up for your previous engine was crap.

That's why you are having the issues now because you are using the same suboptimal setup for your new engine, which is crap right now. Right?

Logical isn't it?

Not having a go at you, just saying now you have the knowledge that your set up from when you bought the car was suboptimal you know why it drove the way it did. Don't ignore the elephant in the room when you are critiquing your previous setup.

Anyway all the best with it and I hope you get exactly what you want and even better than what you expect. :)

What previous set up are you referring to , 1 when I bought it, 2. when I changed the cams, turbo and exhaust 3 the 3.2 and this one is not finished yet and when it is I expect it to be what I wanted to begin with, fingers X :)

Here are the 3 dynos

So do you have a pic of the harmonic balancer ?

Cause if it is in fact controlled by the factory CAS that could be the issue :(

I picked that the build will require a crank trigger to sort out timing issues ages ago....

Those where the pics i've been looking for

Doesn't look like it has a trigger wheel :(

Factory CAS could very well be the issue :/

I hope not but I've seen it to many times

what problem does this cause

Timing scatter at high RPM due to the longer timing belt, this is the problem when an engine is controlled by what is realistically a rubber band

My advise now is DO NOT push this engine till the problem is confirmed just in case cause timing scatter can cause big problems

thanks for that, could have saved me a bigger problem, didn't need anymore :)

Glad you said that I was going for a run today and I have been too busy with the kids for a while.

I will ask them if they ut a trigger wheel on

Pete you'd know if they did, it would be on the bill. Until the murrayis kit came along they were not cheap.

Not on the build sheet or the earlier build before I bought the car, just the ATI balancer and damper ??

Do they make that much difference or more a safety precaution for the motor ?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
