Got the new trailer last week, worth every cent. Car can be loaded without removing the front bar and airing out the air bag is cool. Now just need to upgrade the tow car.

Swapped the 4.36 ratio diff into the race car so can now put the gtr diff back in the sil80.

Top shafts are gtr, bottom standard gtst. Might drain the 98 and start E85  tune on the race car.

Got stuck into the HQ last week and fitted up the msd unit and dizzy. Should have done this year's ago has made the car enjoyable. Will fit extractors and twin 2.5 exhaust when I get back from next shift at work and start tuning the carb so it's not so rich.

And started new job in Brisbane. Finally got to do a back to back Dyno of standard plenum VS short runner intake on a standardish Rb25 (kinagowa td06, e85, 25psi, greddy fmic, 3 inch exhaust, link g4 plugin) big hit to mid range power. IMG_20191210_110548.thumb.jpg.0992b12b5b24dc9dfd1ed6f4e5c3daad.jpg

Nitrous almost all setup on the HQ

Race car now lives in Brisbane, been drifting the 180sx heaps. Bent steering stuff last week so need new lca & tie rod at minimum and new mirror & door handle after clipping a barrier.

Sil80 hasn't been touched

A late night update 

HQ got 4 into 1 extractors and twin 2.5 inch exhaust, finding someone to fill nitrous bottle is turning out to be difficult.

Went to Airlie Beach, rented airbnb

Finally changed oil on drift car. Went to archerfield and had a great time, cars a little worse off but driving has improved

Actually made small progress on the sil80 and started stripping brake calipers for powder coating and new seals

Nice. 

Wouldn't a local BOC or SupaGas fill it for you? If not then find the local performance workshop/engine reconditioners and see if they know? 

Any clips of you banging in to shit you dirty drifter? 

BOC don't do nos system, just the industrial stuff and the one that does only does it a week before a big drag meet in Cairns or Mackay, should have just LS it. 

Got some in car stuff, will go through it when I get home as still in Brisbane for work.

Drove QR Autumn Matsuri last weekend. Heaps of fun and driving with mates that made the trip from Townsville.

Blew a welsh plug out of the block Saturday night IMG_20200308_073705.thumb.jpg.1b26c81e57704497f1839dab50768b5c.jpg

Got a new one and got it in and drove until the last 1.5hrs when 3rd gear decided to finally explode. Got a video from in car that I need to edit.

Did post event comp test and tested 150-155psi, tested cooling system too and all good. New s14 gearbox was sourced and inspected before install, all new filters and fluids all ready for Thursday night at Archerfield drift. Definitely need to go e85 as extra 20kw would help on the big tracks. Once I get home hopefully do a few more steering mods and fix a few chassis problems.

Boom boom with the box!

How did the pads go? 

They go pretty good but bloody noisy. Haven't done any really big stops(over 160kph) yet. Will go the performance street ones next.

You'll get sparks too with big stops ?

Is the video cool?

Happy you're out driving, makes me miss it, in the meantime I cut wood and build sheds (and ruin my elbows!).

 

Video added. 

Need to find something simple to get out there and have fun in- 350z/v35 would be my pick atm

How big the new shed?

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
