    With rego running out i figured it was a good excuse to take it off the road and begin the RB25DET Neo swap. But before that happened i headed out and with the help of my girlfriend put together this video while it was still a 290kw RB20 powered thing. Enjoy!

    Time to give the brakes some attention bought some new fluid to do a full flush and some HEL braided lines. These were actually for an R32 GTR but more or less fit the GTS-T. More later on this. went to take the stock rubber and hardline to caliper off when this happened. It was already kinked from being stretched a bit far from more lock and re positioned calipers. the nut on the caliper was completely rounded and i tried a few things to get it out including multigrips and an easy out. none of which worked. The solution was to heat it up with a big ol' soldering iron the have another go at it with an easy out while also clamping the nut with some vice grips braided line fitted up . now as mentioned earlier the GTR lines fit but not exactly. When fitting the front lines to the car the GTR kit came with P clips which obviously don't fit the normal locations or secure the lines at all. to fix this i found some wiring grommets these fit snuggley in the stock mounting location with just enough room to slid the stock clips in (backwards) to further secure them. it was then a simple case of slitting the grommets to get them over the lines and fitting it all up Bled the brakes up and took it for a test drive and checked where the mounting solution held on. Which they did!

    After fixing the car and sorting out the waste gate which involved getting a whole new lower section and completely tearing down the gate. I was only making ~16psi peak with a very slow build with it only reaching 16psi at 6500rpm with the current boost controller settings. my theory is that the diaphragm was never sealing correctly as boost control was always touchy and the settings on the Profec had been rather low compared to what was expected. I took it out to the freeway do do a few pulls and try and get the settings to give a better boost response curve and peak boost. I got it pretty close but wanted it to be checked out on the dyno just to be sure. As it turned out the Leaky gate and possibly the T3 gasket (depending when it went) I replaced a few pages back hard some solid response and power gains. The biggest difference is the old peak torque of 430nm is being hit and passed ~1250rpm sooner! power is coming on about 300rpm sooner across the rev range with a higher peak. boost is much snappier and on at 4500rpm exactly. which is still a touch laggier than my original hopes before i bought the turbo but a noticeable difference in the butt dyno.

    With the car fixed up i headed out to the Might Car Mods Nationals 2017 - Adelaide event out at Mallala. Rainy start to the day but it quickly cleared up. track wheels on and ready to go out good mix of cars Full session video from the day with high quality Raw Audio. Good fun day with all the cars out. bonus few pictures of the daily. Daihatsu baaaatttleeee Daihatsu video. listen to that 3cyl go

    Next morning I went out to assess the damage. The hit had managed to push the rear edge of the 1/4 in and crease it right back to the fuel cap area. I spent the next few days getting quotes to have it repaired. I finally settled on a one and below are the results. Repair work 10/10. mostly metal fixed with minimal bog Colour match..? well not perfect they did repaint the fuel flap for me after this picture was taken so it blend nicer. But as i found when i did the GTR front matching the colour of my car without a code was very difficult. The whole car needs a full respray anyway as it currently is 50 shades of blue. Also at some point during drift prac i had ripped the exhaust hangers off the exhaust leaving two nice little holes. Quickly patched up by Vulcan Fabrication

    yeah never seen that happen. and not get me started on trying (and failing )to remove it. Pretty rusty with the drift stuff but i had a good time and improved throughout the night. I been doing more grip days recently

    So with the oil cooler in and having just spectated at Mallala Matsuri. I made the last minute decision to head out to the September Drift Prac. Now the last time i have done any proper drifting would ahve been ~2013 at Tailem bend in one of Michelmore's "Drift Techniques" school days.... got some fresh tyres, at $55 each it seemed pointless to go for scrappies Went out with a mate in his onevia. Entered the novice group and got queued up. The first session was good spun a few times but started to get the hang of it Second session rolls around and.. Easy fix. blew off the cooler pipe behind the bar. fixed that and headed out for the next session. Now you know when people say "Don't drift the straight while you're learning" ? yeah well I got over confident coming out of the esses and drifted the straight. Made it about 1/2 way down going side to side when the car spun and I went backwards towards the wall.. and the wet grass. My dash cam captured the moment of impact and it looks like the suspension was loaded up and then released. I was at full lock on limiter when it unloaded and spun the car. shit happens. went back in and had a sit down for a few minutes then figured f**k it, the damage is done and i had paid for the whole night. I headed back out. The first lap out on the way to lining up i managed to collect a bird which ripped my GTR lip off. Yes that is bird goo. Yet f**k it attitude continued and I had a solid few sessions before close. On the last session i was hitting ~27psi boost came in and checked it out. The nipple for the gate had snapped off and was in the vacuum line Collected my Lip from the marshals. Then drove back home and stopped for an AB on O'Connell St with my mate

    unsure if there is a better place to share this... But here is a video i put together of a very clean late model R32 GTR. Strongly suggest using good speakers or headphones. Enjoy!

    Did you happen to weigh the stuff before putting it in? Have heard it has some heft but does a really good job for sound deadening.
  13. CRSKmD
    i always thought it was more expensive than that. Might be worth getting some for my daily. It has no sound deadening and shakes and rattle like nothing else!

    As some of you maybe have noticed in previous track video there was a constant beeping. This was the sound of my oil temp gauge hitting 120C after 2 laps. With a track day booked in it was time to fix that problem. now i wanted to mount it as far away from the ground as possible after some antics i have had at Tailem Bend. this is the kit i ended up with. A GReddy Trust GREX unit with in built thermostat as well as a Trust core. Here is the space i have to work with. I decided to move a few things plus massage a bit with friendly MR. Hammer to fit the core here. Test fitted the lines some may end up being shortened before the final fitting. As you can see, not heaps of room but its in and safe from being smashed on the ground. Plus my AC is still good to go Next up i needed to make some brackets. I found some steel bicycle pannier rack brackets which I modified to fit. The long slot allowed me some adjustment. Here are the brackets attached. Then came the bracket for the thermo filter block. I re purposed what I think was the crossover pipe bracket (?) not 100% sure on that have a shelf full of bits and bobs. and thats were I stopped with that for now. Need to order a few more fittings and modify the lines i have to suit. but until then i'm going to be rolling with my "fake" oil cooler kit. Maybe ill grab an 'interfooler' to match

    yeah it has been bullet proof for the almost 2 years its been running at ~280kw. haha i shall try not to disappoint i think someone has already called dibs but if not ill post it up here when im ready to pull it out
  16. CRSKmD
    you are correct! feel lame saying goodbye to the trusty 20 and downgrading to a 25 but i am all about the area under the curve. thanks. feedback like this is what inspires me to keep updating and moving on it
  17. CRSKmD
    how did you know!?
  18. CRSKmD
    Looking very tidy!
  19. CRSKmD
    i rate it
  20. CRSKmD
    whats this?
  21. CRSKmD
    So my car sounded like a tractor and was even laggier than it had been before . so i went pre turbo exhaust size boost leak hunting. using a bit of vacuum hose and a funnel held up to my ear. i found it. this was the included MLS one that came with the Kando turbo. safe to say it did not like the boost. replaced it with a new permaseal MLS one and put it all back together. it is now much better to drive than i ever remember it being. so wondering if this gasket started to fail on the dyno...

    so after the most recent track day i noticed some oil coming from somewhere under the motor. traced it to the turbo oil drain.... so lucky there wasn't a fire with a split like this. Went down to Vulcan and had this stainless oil drain made up.

    Fuel started leaking out of the top of my fuel tank when i filled it all the way. the culprit.. fuel tank seal. compare the pair
