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.

They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
