Mmmmm guesty, what a nice looking roll cage you have! (fu#k I'm a smart ass!) all jokes aside, you should be happy with that my friend, I am and its not mine! naa good stuff, looks nice n strong and a fair few bucks to boot eh?

Looking good Dave, when will it be finished and back in action???

Ant is that the set up in the 31 or the 34???

Updates for me: ordered my new gaskets and spring for waste gate, replaced all fittings on my braided brake lines as i noticed a couple were leaking, finally finished the wiring tidy up behind the center console and dash ready to install my new SABER gauges and new ignition barrel.

I have a cupboard full of parts ready to go so now just have to move the car to its new location so it can be finished off :P

Should be finished end of August/Start of September, anyone in the Burnie area want to paint a Front bar and guard for me? not sure whats going to happen with the Tarmac events. It can be brought back into spec by dropping in a stock engine and front mount, but not realyl sure if it's worth it. maybe just do club level events til the STI gets here next year...

Probably was, I got it cheap off a bloke in W.A. Not the best cast item in the world but it does what I want it to. :P

Ah cool. i just picked up one for a mate but its a fair bit off fitting nicely. i have been tiding up the outside and the inside has been ported but its been ported out a bit to much in some places. we were also concerned about the flow quality of it.

at the spec its at not with the cage you could circuit race it propely in the tas super series. its not overly expensive. i would think it would be better than club days?

Do you mean like in the TSS? The cage and body work is to Targa Spec, just need to change the motor, cooler etc to run targa. what can i modify to still be able to run TSS etc

Mines off getting the roll cage fixed and bars added. Got a ARC intercooler and Radiator to go into it as well. Trying to find a rb26 or rb25 head if anybodys got one for sale?

I have my old 25 head if your interested. Its all in parts tho and doesnt have cam covers

TSS Targa Class has very very open rules and the mods to your car as its sits would make it pretty competitive... more than enough to knock of a silver RX7 anyway!

Not much progress on the RX7 front but have decided I will be doing testing it in November so better get on with it. New glass goes in next week, still waiting on arrival of seats and brakes, and the engine and gearbox are still to be freshened.

For the GTSt, its been claimed by Kylie so I'm suffering the 318i and so over it... I'm looking into RB20 conversions for it but makes more sense to sell and I'll buy either an S15 or 32 GTR.

  • 3 weeks later...

Updates for me: modified my drivers seat runner so its lower (i can now sit in the car with a helmet on) and have "fixed" it in place so no other kent can get in and move it MUWAHAHAHAHA

I got my manifold, turbo, dump, gate, lines off, fixed a partially stripped stud i missed and got it all back on the car again today :( Some of my gear arrived today so im now hoping the weather will be ok for the next few days as the car is moving to its new location next week to be finished and a few "other" little touches :(

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
