R33 Speedo not reading correctly
robbo_rb180 replied to R33sedandenver's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Could try one from a sr20 gearbox or a signal converter maybe easier to use. There was a topic on here not long ago about speed drives and compatibility. -
Got the exhaust all done and it turned out ok. Got it up nice and high with plenty of clearance, painted it all black except for the mufflers and made up a tailshaft loop as MA regs requires one. Started with an aeroflow loop kit and modified it to suit. Then sent the car off to the detailer and had it cleaned properly, got the interior wet cleaned also got the windows tinted. Next cleaned up a cusco strut brace I've had sitting around by powder coating the brackets black and polished the bar. Need some new bolts before fitting it. Have now got a date to finish the car off as I've entered rockynats at Easter in the street drags, Dyno and cruise so now sorting out little things before rego and tune in a few weeks. Spent tonight fitting front wheel speed sensor and making a template for ducting to the oil cooler. Tomorrow nights plan is to do a service with new oil, filter, coolant and plugs as it's been a long time since I did it. Biggest job I'm hoping to have sorted by rockynats is working aircon, I've got all the lines but going to put some heat sleeve over them and do o rings will be nice to have for cruising.

RB25/30 Neo clearance in 25GT-T
robbo_rb180 replied to NiHaoMiaoMiao's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
no issues but we have installed a aluminium spacer to replace the rubber bush. Plazmaman plenum is the best way to retain drivability down low https://plazmaman.com/product/rb25-r33-inlet-plenum/ can also use rb30/vl engine mounts or any 40mm thick ones (cortina are ones work) -

6boost manifold cracks open rb25det
robbo_rb180 replied to Tomak's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Do you have a copy of the afr and power curve be interesting to see what "rich" is for your tuner. Is this on petrol or ethanol? -

600RWHP RB25 Series 2 "Reliable"?
robbo_rb180 replied to Blakeo's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Like anything depending on how you drive and maintain it. If your stressing about it lasting and/or breaking gearboxes probably best to not go chasing numbers. Gotta pay if you want to play I'd take a responsive 300-350hp any day over a 500hp+ 30year old import as a daily. -
6boost manifold cracks open rb25det
robbo_rb180 replied to Tomak's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Seen this before with too much timing and lean mixture. The heat wrap doesn't help either. Fix the crack, remove heat wrap and do some logging of afr, exhaust manifold pressure and temperature. Take it as a lesson learned. -
MLR's Bogan cruise ship
robbo_rb180 replied to The Bogan's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
stop pussy footing around and go full bogan https://www.aussiespeedshop.com/product/ls-1-gm-6v71-supercharger-kit-cathedral-port/ or maybe get into a job that lets you enjoy the noises. This was fun to rip around in at summernats a few years ago now. -
good to know, thank you for that info. @Unzipped Composites is there any where to look online for basic info in regards to aero/airflow stuff for the hobbyist racer? Have you looked at doing an online course/presentation similiar to HPA?
-
Good progress, How long until first event? Have you thought about making an intake pipe to the turbo from that front air dam pre intercooler, may help with intake temps a little bit I think everyone is recovering from xmas & new years, I've prioritised another project over the race car ATM

Er34 sedan steering rack
robbo_rb180 replied to TrisGT's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
With how old parts are now would be easier to rebuild the rack. Any hydraulic hose shop can repair your hoses. What ratio and shaft bolt pattern diff? -
Chris has moved back to the USA but still should be able to get parts and info on what needs to be done.

Sam at Whiteys wiring would be the go for electrical stuff https://whiteyswiring.com/ East Coast Customs for boost, they have done a lot of turbo & supercharged VQs https://www.eccustoms.com/

RB25det keeps Stalling???????
robbo_rb180 replied to RB25 e36's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
1. Check fuel pressure at the rail is 43-45 psi without vacuum connected on reg(block the hose off so no vac leak) 2. AFM is clean & plugged in and is around the same distance as factory away from turbo.| 3. Coils are getting 12V and grounded correctly. 4. Alternator is generating greater than 12.8V at idle 5. Fuel pump is wired and gets 12v & a good ground Will most likely be one of these but also depends on how the loom has been wired into the bmw -
Got a lense kit and cup for the tig makes a difference just need to get more practice and a steadier hand. Got the hoist up now, seriously if you have considered one get it been great so far. Made a start on the exhaust today, started with a basic bracket for the cat, then cut up some bends and got it up nice and high with a magnaflow straight through then into the old twin tip muffler. Will add a vband at the diff, 2 new hangers and then weld it out. Got a busy few weeks so won't be able to get much done but plan to get wheel alignment, tune and then have it fully detailed ready for sale around April.
