So it looks like the 18th & 19th September at Phillip Island. Its a big ask but if Geoff and i get our hands dirty then im a chance. As soon as the mechanics fix my door we can get started on getting the thing running again.

And im being serious, does anyone know of a cheap daily driver getting around, Say under 2k.

Bring it on mate. I'll show you why the army trained me as a rapid combat repair specialist. As the saying goes "It doesn't take me all day to do a days work"

I'm now in the process of ensuring the turbo stays tight and getting the brake pedal height adjusted so the new MOMO carbon racing pedal set is perfectly positioned for H&T. Might even pull the master cylinder out and the calipers and service them all.

Roy and Geoff - Let me know when your getting into it and i'll be happy to lend a hand. :bonk:

I dont hink i can supply enough Real McCoys to quench your thirst :alcoholic

Any help would be great, dont forget to bring your car, as an RB26 might be going in and we may need a few odds and ends off your car to get mine running. Troy wants the RB20 replaced, Roy wants an RB26

Roy vs Troy , who will win :fight!: ...truth is its not really up to us, it depends largely on circumstance and where things fall :P

*shakes fist violently at Roy for taking up too much of Geoff's expertise*

Maybe the two of you can help me with my RB25 when it lands in a month or so.

When are the Super Fun Happy Slider crew going to take on Team Wang... a bit of healthy rivalry is good.

Your GTS can go up against me, you will only have to last more then one lap and they will have me smoked :goddam:

Do you need a nice TD06 for your RB25 :P

Shan we'll be done well before then mate. All help is welcome too Chris. We were a good team Saturday night :P. Without your comments I would have taken heaps longer to start bashing the wastegate with the hammer :D

Hammer...why im outraged...how dare someone show my car so little respect. Oh actually its not like you dented my door and punched my sump in or anything?!?!?! :slap:

The plan is hatched, just have to suss when the door is getting fixed and see if the spanner session gets done before or after. Im thinking before otherwise i could be waiting to late in the month.

I found the RB74/Comp2 combo great at Wakefield, no real issues all day and I did almost 90 laps. I'm using DBA4000 slotted rotors front/back on my R33 GTS-t and they weren't dusty at all. They did squeel under light braking but were fantastic... when hot. For my 5km daily trips they were overkill so i've gone back to some cheap 2nd hand standard nissan pads which... don't have any bite but do work well enough from the very first stop.

Sounds like PI is quite a high speed trap... I think I need atleast 5 pairs of underwear for the day going on the speeds you guys were doing. In the wet you would have had to drag me into the car :P

Yep, get it done early rather than later. I imagine the people involved could take quite some time to do your repair..... unfortunatly.

I'll be sure to bring along the cheap burbon.

Oh and piss off you aint getting any bits off my beast.

will a TD06 25G plus custom lowmount manifold, wastegate and hybrid intercooler setup do :P coz that's what I got sittin in my garage atm waiting for the engine and a PFC... got the PFC tuning software but no PFC lol

btw nark just got his ceffy so the Slider crew will be out in force soon.

I've just ordered a Misfiring system by Grid for the setup I'm doing... hehehe while all u wangers are lagging I'll be put-putting whenever I shift :P

LOL... with enough corner speed you dont have to worry about lag, its only those wearing skirts and high heels who tippy toe thru the twisties that need anti-lag :box:

What do you mean by lag? At a place lieke PI you wont have to worry, i found with very little chance for practice i could drive around the poor boost response of my turbo setup. I have jack all lag, but pretty weak boost threshold.

As for while you are cornering, ppl that know way more then me have my car setup so it turns very nicely whilst im on the throttle (feathered not to the floor) so power delivery is nice and progressive on corner exit.

A place like Winton, ummm , forget about it. I think any mildly modded Skyline would be frustrated around there as there isnt too much opportunity for wide open throttle blasts.

I know I sound like an opportunist, but umm I've got a spare set of RB74s. Umm does anyone want to buy them? :P
Depends how much meat is left and how much you want;) Front and rear?

a misfiring system helps you coming out of corners too, not just on wide open throttle blasts... basically it evens out the response of a car, giving it the best of both worlds, speed of a turbo and constant response like an N/A (which I'm used to).

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
