Rb25 with a 2530 is a good setup. It has awesome punch out of corners. A friend let me drive his R33 at Wakfield with a similar setup...great fun, it even had 18 semis :P

Looks like th peckign order this year is going to be changed...looks like Matt is away early and if Wayne can fix the miss it shodl be somehting to keep a close eye on as well

MSPEC - From what I hear its the stainless manifolds that crack not the cast ones, so I'm assuming its the front pipe coz its stainless..... Thanks for the compliment, ur car sounded pretty horn on the straight!!!! The problems started on my last supersprint...

Spot on :)

Rex club not happy with itself? Too bad. Would have been a good event except the massive wait when they stopped for tea (OK I've been watching the cricket) so I decided to go home.

Only got a couple of pics due to the holdup and this was the only decent one.

The hold up was due to the fact that we didn't have another set of flaggies to swap over. We can't ask flaggies to stayout from 5pm - 11pm without bringing them in for a break, some food, toilet etc..

Ideally we'd be able to swap them over in 5 minutes if we could get some of the other clubs racing with us to rustle up some flaggies too...hint wink wink nudge.. :P

I'd normally be straight out there but I might end up with Flaggie of the Year :P

Seriously though I'm just unable to be tied to one spot for too long since the spinal surgery. And I agree on the flaggies too, events don't happen without them and they can't be abused or they don't come back. I'll see how I'm going for Sandown as it appears I won't get to race here (in Vic) again.

I finally got a look at what's going on in the other thread mentioned earlier, and there is some bad EGO going on in the Rex club. I just hope ours survives without going there. You have my sympathies Mike because there are clearly some good guys in the club, but it seems some want to use their time in the club or position on the commitee as a weapon and Ego enhancer. Most of us just buy a faster car/bigger engine if our peckers are too small. There is also no room for humour. Time for a reality check.

Feoff, has anyone ever said your car in upir avatar looks like a VN Group A?  :rofl:

Wont be doing another Vic trackday?  Mate if my car is ready we have to tag team my car! Done! And no arguments

You back and on the sauce already? Just wait till I tell the spelling Nazi's :Oh squizzz:

Fair payback for dissin' my mobile BBQ calling it a commonwhore.

Budge I hear you mate, and I bet there are few who put their hands up for commitee jobs because of it. Tell you what, ditch 'em and come join us, just leave the Superman suit behind.

      As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol.

      The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.

      Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 🥴
