Hey guys, just something to note.

Went down to a place called Clark Racing in invermay got a fair bit there & the stuff they don't they can get more or less straight away, nice people there too also same with prices. Looking to get some work done there any one had any thing to do with them?

Whens the Basky Hillclimb??

I would love to head down for another crack at that.

Hey Drumstick

Couldn't reccomend them more. I bought a black 33 last month that was pretty well stock. Took it down there and had a talk to maurice and sorted out some new parts to upgrade from stock. I got fmic, new bov, pod, kkr turbo, 3" exhaust plus some other bits and pieces. I got it back Saturday and they have done a top job i couldn't be happier. No problems so far but i'm trying to get some km's into my turbo before we wind some boost into it so the proof will be in the pudding. I'll definitely be going back when i'm ready to upgrade more parts, they are very friendly and easy to deal with, and there prices are very competitive.

If u see me round say hi and we'll have a chat i'm driving a black r33 with white rims and no rear wing. Its my first post here so im hoping to meet some people round the Launceston area who also drive skylines :down:

Cheers

Brad

25 neo head?

i forgot all about the cam covers. they are Neo covers, but they have been put in to trick people.

i call shotgun for that engine in my car :-P

ill put some details up when the engine is finaly back and running.

but for now its a Rb25de head off out of a late model r32 (so non VVT) that ive made an adapter plate up to make the entire GTR intake side fit up to.

this head is very similar to an rb20 head and i will be starting on another adapter plate for Sav man soon to fit a rb20det

Yeah Shane heard that too bud! Very quick, very nice...

Yeah Brad i was in there looking over ya car when it was in the shop looks very shmik mate, yea bud i will no doubt see you around and will stop to say hi. Still trying to meet everyone that i supposedly say i'm gonna say hi to on here lol...

hey guy

my car has been off the road for 5 weeks now :) blown head gasket thought while it was off the road i would do a 100,000km service freshen it up a bit and iron out my tune alittle bit for summer hopefully it'llbe back on the road by christmas.

Did a clutch at Symmons on Sunday.

Apparently you shouldn't be able to have it in gear, with the handbrake on and your foot off the clutch... :s

Pulling the box out this week to see what was in it, how much damage has been done and what I need to buy to get it mobile again.

Unfortunately this also means spending money I dont have so it will no doubt be off the road for a bit now cause I am not gonna just buy a cheap clutch and throw in to get it going, do it once, do it right. :banana:

got my new clutch installed today. While it was out, replaced the rear main seal (was starting to weep).

feels nice. little bit nasty round town. nothing ya cant live with!

  • 3 weeks later...

What clutch did you go with??

I just fitted an Xtreme Motorsports DSBMS Clutch Kit

Had big shudder issues when first fitted but appear to have eased a bit. Reverse is a killer still though.

Not sure but I think the fact its AWD doesn't help much, if you dump the clutch a bit harder it feels like the front diff is trying to climb out from under the car now.

I have spoken with Xtreme about this and we are working on a solution.

Be good to see how it copes come the Highclere Hillclimb next weekend. :bunny:

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
