Hi all,

Got my snot box running finally.

I have been playing with the fuel maps on the microtech to get it running ok so I can drive it to launny for Brad Sheriff to tune it.

It seems to be running well, I had to take the intake manifold off twice to weld up some holes :P car was idling at 2500rpm due to leaks... and this is a Japanese manifold not a Chinese one.

I could listen to my RB30DET idle all day... sounds so insane.

NOS is soon to come, I am looking at a 100HP shot, maybe push it up to 150HP if I am keen enough.

Here is the latest pic of the engine bay.

Also I am loving the 4" intercooler piping butting up against that 115mm(outside diameter) TB. Found out it was 115mm Out Diam when I tried to put a 4" silicon joiner on it and failed.

I am maxing out the KKR560 that is on it so I am looking at getting a custom top mount made up so I can still close my bonnet and going to a KKR720X and 50mm external gate. This will be a few months away though.

EDIT:

I also put 2 bucket seats in and a 5 point harness.

Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

plenty happening to the rx7 with lots coming off and a little going back on... have now got the drivers seat, well the same design anyway, the red seat will go into the evo. also got the hydralic handbrake and removable wheel hub and the engine bay has been reduced to a near bare engine ready for a big refresh.

not much action on the evo front, but have bought coilovers, hydralic handbrake, steering wheel and a spare bonnet and bumper.

About to spend three or four days cleaning all the damn Jap dirt and grime off of and out of the GTR followed by a trip to the detailers shed at work I think to make it all spick and span again.

Pull the Carrozzeria headunit out and replace it with one that actually has English on its display.

Then have the damage repaired that occurred on its way here from Japan and hopefully by that stage take it to work and register it...

So the new toy is here. How bad is the damage???

Does the Hatch have a new owner yet?

So many questions...

You sound more excited than I am!!

Yes its here.

Damage is not bad but will require a full front bar respray. Its the stuff that got stolen that pisses me off.

No the Hatch is still in the driveway behind the GTR but we are still talking with that person you put me onto. He is keen, just busy with work apparently.

First place she went, down to Symmons. Only did a couple of laps in an official role so couldnt really do much.

The Nismo Strut Brace.

My near perfect condition mats were swapped with some sh!tty old worn out ones.

Thankfully the original owners manuals and full service history and documents detailing the fitting of the Stereo, Exhaust, Turbo Timer, E Tag thingy and Bilstein Suspension are all still in the car.

ahh no....

The GTR will not be at the gravel hillclimb. Thats just stoopid.

Its far too neat of an example to waste throwing around a gravel road.

It will make a trip or two to Symmons Plains and down the quarter.

Probably the numerous hillclimb's and the Smithton Kart Track Lap Dash events as well.

All depends on the financial situation at the time.

If its like now, wont be doing squat...

Try Power Play Imports, they are also big into NISMO gear.

Id look around for another Nismo supplier as PPI de-registered as a business last week :)

UPDATES for the blue beast: Brakes back on, intake all sorted with new top pipe on all in one section this time, extra injector set up has been removed completely from the car and intake welded up. Have removed the EBC and will replacing all the vacuum lines with new ones :D

Big thanks to Allan & Martin @ TASMANIAN MOBILE MECHANICS for the help with the car and storing it out there :)

Well I have been offered an R32 GTR at a price I couldn't refuse. Low k's, I know the current owner and he's no idiot, stock as can be.

Basically its the project car I have been looking for and if it falls through I will finish building my XB GT. I will post up some pics once I pick it up.

So my 33 is up for sale, if it sells it will be a bit sad (considering the amount of effort I have put into getting it back on the road), but so be it.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
