Very nice: damn it makes me jealous. Was language much of a problem? When you have a little time, would you mind posting up a 'photo diary' type post with some commentry?

Cheers,

Lucien.

Great stuff Topi! Yes, please post up a "photo diary" with comments if you can :D

Btw, did you see an "XR6T" engine (from the Australian built "Falcon XR6T" - 4.0 inline 6 turbo twin cam monster) there at JUN? Theres some speculation as to what happened to it (or if indeed they had one?)

Thanks guys. Im not sure if I took enough photos for a photo diary, but ill draft one out and see what its like.

The language barrier was a bit of a pain, but you work around it.

As for the XR6T. Well there were about 3 engines kept heavily covered up. One I got a sneak of had a TVR V8 label, but I didnt see a XR6T. There were many inline 6s floating around though, mostly RB26.

Yup RX3.

JUN auto mechanic is actually very large. Theres the main hall (with the 240 etc in). Behind that is the bodyshop. Theres a fairly large section of machines for final grinding of cam profiles, flywheels and bores etc. And theres another large hall, basically empty exept for a new impreza being converted to a RWD D1 car for the owner of Ebisu circuit.Theres the engine room, and shop floor. Also the dyno.

As for the staff, they are most of the mechanics. 2 were at a race meeting with some 700bhp ish Evos (one "super lemon" Evo, if you know JUN cars).

On that site, are maybe 20 machinists. At the main machine shop are maybe 30 operators, and 10 office staff.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
