You mean I could've rented all 4 ??? damn!!! HAHA

someone dropped the ball and didn't bring the club go pro's so no vid's

not quite sure what your talking about but I'm assuming it could be this......... Photo credit to Matt Tung-Yep.

Here are some photo's we took before we got to caught up in racing and forgot about the camera..... had a really great day!!! the Rx7 was better than I could have expected and managed consistent low 1:08's thanks again to all the guys who made this day possible!!! always a success!!! feel free to use these photo's on the SAU F.B page.

Had an awesome day out at SMSP South Circuit the car ran better than expected and ran consistent low 1:08's

Took the car for another drive today to rack up a few more Km's with the SAU crew, went up the Bells Line of Rd and down to Megalong Valley the car is feeling great!!! cant wait for pic's to be posted either!!! and I'll update. so all is good for the trackday tomorrow at SMSP South Circuit!!!

nope I've got the base model only has 1 oil cooler thanks but I've already got all the gear to do it including thermo block all the braided lines and 2 thermo cooled coolers. just cant be bothered doing it right now and I'm hopping its not a big drama!!!

double post

well it was always going to be a scramble getting a car ready in 4 weeks, spent way to much time chasing the boost issues redoing majority of the vacuum system. and then luckily got this entire week off work to get all the rest done!!! the spanner in the works was the clutch that's for sure and I didn't even get to adding the oil coolers I wanted too!!! but for the rest everything that needed doing got done, but thankfully for the help of a few people everything got done this week, mind you I've probably done over 70hrs in the last 6 days. hopefully it all pays its self off with a trouble free day at the track!!! also I'm battered and bruised from laying under the car for 4 days and my hands look like they've been through the grater

all went well today got the car aligned and balanced, fuel system went well although I think I may need to upgrade the fuel pressure reg to allow more fuel to go back to the tank so the Bosch 044 isn't whining as much!!! clutch went well after I bled a bit more air out of it and adjusted the height but its going to take a bit of getting used to taking off with a brass button again. went for a cruise to put a few Km's on her and then stopped and got my race numbers put on the car!!!

yep we shall see

forgot the photo LOL

The long term plan is world time attack etc but for now I'll stick to track days and the like, hopefully even nulon national or something! Today made more good progress pretty much good to go with a few last minute bits and pieces but whats finished is New clutch fitted with a braided line and bleed, replaced the diff bushes whilst I had half the car apart also moved the fuel filter as it was hiding behind the diff. Got the brakes machined, painted them and fitted braided lines, new track pads etc. The surge tank is all good to go and primed! fitted the track rims ready for tomorrows alignment and corner weighting.

Well yesterday I got my boost issues sored and whilst it was getting a boot full on the dyno the clutch started smoking LOL had an inkling that this could be the case but wasn't sure if it was the turbo transition or the clutch. so needless to say there's new clutch going in. today I stripped the brakes down, getting the disc's machined and some braided lines made, also replaced the clutch line with a braided one and started taking the gearbox out I was shocked as to how complex it is under there!!! give the Stagea a run for its money LOL had to remove the exhaust, then there is a massive brace that runs from the g'box to the diff and then all the usual braces shields etc anyways got the gearbox out now I just have to go buy a 55mm socket to get the flywheel of so that can get machined!!! so besides brakes and clutch just have the surge tank to connect and replace the spark plugs. and I'm thinking whilst I got that brace off I might also do the diff bushes. unfortunately I'm not going to get my oil coolers in but it should be right this time on the stock one!!!

VERY busy and productive weekend: Replaced majority of the rear suspension bushes and the front sway bar "D" bushes. Mounted the surge tank and pump ready to go (wont plumb it in still next weekend) started the wiring for the gauges and surge tank - almost done I'll finish that off in the morning. Rolled the front guards and checked that the track rims fit, just need to get some wheels nuts to suit. and tomorrow I'm going to see a guy called Daniel Decker to get the sequential turbo working correctly and if he's nice I might get a power run on the dyno whilst its strapped down!!!

wont find any NOS under the seat Nick

on the upside of my RX7 woes I think I've blown the front drivers side wheel bearing on the Stagea again LOL haven't even bothered with my F-Con problems either

how'd you know I had neon's ?

thought I'd have a break from the Vacuum system and gutted the rear instead!!! don't mind the blue its from the LED light I was using its actually white inside.

Alex has also called it, but Aaron will be the first in the car!!!

That's the thing Brett apparently a twin turbo FD with 280kw will blow any single turbo FD away even if it has 400+kw and some guys are pushing 345kw (537nm @ 5200rpm) out of the twins. So if I get all the vacuum system and solenoids replaced which I'm over halfway already with fault finding then it'll be good for another 12-15years (and with a vented bonnet maybe longer as there isn't as much heat in the engine bay.) You hear so many different stories and people are trying to push there own parts ETC but apparently all the FD race stuff ie: Spirit R or Bathurst R are the best items with the least problems but then some guys swear by the single turbo setups. Its hard to know what's right or wrong so it comes down to personal preference I guess.

so the pressure side is done which is the picture in RED. and the another one just to show all the different paths of the system in colour LOL

ended up replacing the whole blackbox of 7 solenoids and 2 green solenoids as one was brittle and broke and I now have pressure in the vacuum system!!! but I'm still not getting secondary boost so first point of call is to check I'm getting vacuum in the vacuum system (separate from the pressure side of the vacuum system) The system is so complex its a challenge to get my head around it. The turbo control solenoid uses both vacuum and pressure to operate properly, if not then it wont transition effectively. so I need to see if the "charge control actuator" and the "turbo control actuator" are moving then it means I have vacuum and the solenoid is faulty. The charge control solenoid was in the blackbox so that should be fine! so if that's working correctly I'll see the "double throttle control" actuator moving also. so much to check and make sure its operating correctly but I'm happy I'm getting on top of it!!! here are a couple of pic's to show the head f*ck LOL

do it once do it right 2 ltr surge tank with the option to later fit another Bosch 044.

yeah sounds alright for a $200 rear section HAHA Lukey racing muffler to handle those flames
