Now the car drives awesome. Traction is an issue with the shitty falken 265's that are on at the moment. I am contemplating doing an e85 flex tune. Trent reckons another 40 odd rwkw is achievable. All I have to do is get a bigger fuel pump and rewire it with a relay, add a flex sensor and tune for the e85. Some days I really feel like doing it, other days not so much. What are peoples opinions on flex fuel?

Melbourne weather has been shit so far today. So waxing with collonite is on the backburner but I managed to sort my traction issues this morning. Got a set of Achilles 123s tyres fitted. 265/35/18 all round. I know there's much better tyres around but @ $150 fitted each I couldn't go past them. If anyone wants any, import monster has a limited supply at this price. First impression driving home in monsoon like weather is that they're pretty good in the wet. No unwanted wheelspin unlike the falkens that came off. I was 4 wheel drifting around corners this morning without trying to. I will update about the performance of the 123s as I drive on them.

^Thanks dude. Wideband sensor is on the front pipe just in front of the cat, I'm still running the OEM one in the factory position and that gets used while the wideband warms up or fails. I'm not running an air sensor ATM which apparently is a big no no but the AFR seems to be fine whether its cold or hot but I will be installing 1 soon just in case. Im thinking of putting it in the crossover pipe just b4 the throttle body.

Bit of an update, Dropped the front end about an inch or so yesterday. Looks heaps better, although another inch lower would be great. Made it up the driveway at work ok, just got to see if I can get out this afternoon without destroying my front bar. Fingers crossed. If all goes well I may try lowering it a touch more and then adjust the rear to suit. Here's a couple of crappy pics. The Achilles 123s tyres seem to be doing very well in wet or dry. Really have to punch it hard to break traction in the dry. Only negative is they are noisy farkers. The collinite wax is doing it's job awesomely as well, the water is beading off the paint like water off a ducks back and the paint still looks clean after the water has dried :smile:

Managed to crawl out of the driveway at work with only a minor scrape. I'll try and refine my exit strategy tomorrow and hopefully I can make it out with out scraping so then I can lower the front some moreB)

Talk to a good tuner and see what he says about afr gauges...

I've heard and seen nothing but crap from them, they are not even close to the same readings on a dyno unless you get a very high end unit from haltech for example...

The $260 odd dollar ones are not accurate and I've seen a few cars go bang because of this, owners believing the gauge over the dyno.

    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
