I must admit that there do appear to be some non-ricey members of the rb's. Radium, ND4SPD and maybe XRW(j/k).

Anyone who is more interested in stereo's and flashing lights should wear a bright pink armband to show that they belong to the rb's.:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

if you've seen my other car (ie. FIL) it's not exactly rice :P

mind you... it's still waiting for me to finish a gearbox swap....

now.. lets get our affiliations out.... WASCC, AFARCC, RB's, All4Wheels, Supra club of WA... I'm almost as much of a car club **** as XRW :-)

FIL, on the allfours site i saw your going being towed away at motivation? god knows how you did a diff in the supra, i thought toyota made good diffs, or was yours on its way out?

plate idea for the supra.. [FILTTY] :P

Shaun

i was told that the supra diff was unbreakable...

that said, there's evidence of some heavy duty abuse on the sub frame (ie. rollbacks) and the way the diff let go is in keeping with that..

oh, and apparently the particular gears i broke, do break a bit...

my car suffers badly from axle tramp at the plex, which is probably the worst thing you can do to a diff... and something I plan to address, along with replacing the subframe and beefing up the diff, before i make a serious return to kwinana....

yeah, i have similar problems with axle tramp at the plex.. sounds like the whole car is going to smash to pieces.

on the street and anywhere else is fine... im going to stay away from that deathtrap until some hardcore mods come about and see how she goes then.

bah.. thread hijack.

Shaun

FIL,

Was that your Supra at Motorvation with the diff dropped out. Me and my mate wondered how you had managed to do that, we thought that they were indestructable too.

Didn't mean to imply you were a rice-boy, just warning others of your rb affiliation, in case they didn't know:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

hehe..... fair enuff :-)

yeah, that was mine... i've taken it to the plex 3 times, including motorvation... done about 20 full noise passes, axle tramped almost every time, no matter how gently i launch... (u practically have to idle off the line to get traction)... at motorvation, did some small burnouts to try to get traction, and on the second launch of the motorkhana... big bang, and had to get towed back to the pits...

thankfully, we got the diff out that night, confirmed that was the problem, and got a new one the next day... was able to drive home that evening...

FIL,

I've done 60+ passes at the plex, and now my twin-plate is farked, you can't have fun in a car without breaking something.

I saw the rubber on the guards and assumed that burnouts had been involved.

See'ya:burnout:

yeah.... thats the way i looked at it too....

burnouts had been rather small, nothing much more than on over enthusiatic launch basically...enuff to dry the tyres...

i think part of the problem is that i know i could launch better if i slipped the clutch, but i refuse to do that because of the wear issues with metal on metal....

I only ever find out about these things after the event!!!

I was pulled over last nite for my blue headlights. Got off with a warning, but the officer told me if he wasn't about to go off duty, he would lift the bonnet and find several reasons to give me a sticker.  Must of had a really bad shift. As we were driving off, my son switched on the under car neons. What a lad!

Your a rice Mum! :uh-huh:

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
