Looks so purrrrrdy

Geez! I DID buy from a reputable sponsor of this forum! Only through research and quite a bit of homework did i learn of this need. ... try provide some friendly advice ....

I discovered the hard way with the Freddy that you need to get the face machined flat before installation.... coolant coming out of the exhaust is not good. Lots of stress and thought the engine was fkd. I tried 2 of them with similar results till I machined it and problems went away... so if you Freddy it, just make sure it is machined flat!!

Nice simple lightweight trailer.

The controller basically sends power (activated by your brakes) to the electric trailer brakes. Depending on type they have an adjustment to vary trailer power.

If you can't afford the fancy shmansy airbag trailers, just make sure the ramps are attached to the rear and just fold down. Obviously make sure it is rated for your car weight, etc, etc. It's a pain at the end of the day rooting around with ramps when all you want to do is get out of there. Oh yeah, somewhere to store tyres and Jerry cans would be good. Electric brakes are good but you're limited to a car that has a controller installed, so just make sure you choose the right braking system.

Yep I've done that thx.

Thanks for posting up pic good for ideas

Hey mate, no A/C! ...because race car! Yeah, planned to duct it somehow.

Good points Duncan. As usual valuable input. Will investigate the RB20/Stagea mounts.

Ok next question, would the high flow pump be too much for rb25det?

Hey, dumb question - are the rb25 and rb26 oil pumps interchangeable? I have a high flow oil pump left over from my GTR and was wondering if it could be installed in my R33 GTST track car. My guess is no, but would like to confirm before I start pulling the car apart.

That looks hella fun. Should get the mrs mx5 on the track

Stellar bit of driving and navigation. Those shite roads!

Double check how you're doing the test. Otherwise it is not a good sign.

I had one, and because of it - I'll never buy an old toyota again. All the major components (heads, diffs, transmission, etc) needed work at some time or another - then problems with the electrics pushed me over the edge. If it's petrol one you looked at, that is quite expensive to pay (depends what options are on it). It will be very expensive to keep running in fuel costs. If it's a slug now - it will only feel slower the longer you own it. There is lots of wear an tear on a car of that many k's. double check what's been done on it - cos most of the driveline will be worn. Don't listen to me - I'm just scarred from the previous experience!

So, as far as bypassing the heater hoses & whole silver circular thing there are no special considerations for plumbing from the thermo housing to the back of the block?

Hey guys, thought this would be better in motorsport section. Long story short, engine is out of the track car (big end bearing). While it's out, I've looked at the standard water/oil cooler spaghetti and would like to clean it up & remove what's not needed. Possibly bypass/remove the whole lot (heater hoses, etc). Obviously I need to keep the water lines to the turbo, but it seems the rest is useful for a regular road car, but no use on a track car. I have some thoughts, but wanted to know what NEEDS to stay there for a track car, knowing it is going to stay at high RPM's and get hot.

Yep, PM sent

1.31 Awesome time

Nice ! more motivation to get the car back on the track!

Great feedback - real world practical approach. Was considering one, so puts things into perspective. Thanks.

Is there a reason why you'd never own one? Financial or mechanical?
