Would love to but engine already built/running and tuned. cost too much to take engine apart to add cams now.

next time will get cams/ light weight pulleys for better accelaration. Going to get water/meth kit end of year and air intake for GTR then aim for 330awkw as now have 310. Never going to race the car just a daily driver amd 330 would be more than enough. I just get jealous reading everyone else's projects with 400+awkw and start to think is it enough....

kmart has some if im not mistaken
Strongly doubt it. Methanol is NASTY. They probably have Methylated Spirits (Ethanol denatured with Methanol)

(Methanol in the methylated spirits is what ultimately causes blindness in alcoholics)

My misses has cracked it about spending money on cars so no water/meth kit for her supra. Still getting FMIC/SAFC/Air intake box/EBC/pipe through cat for supra.Will tune for 16psi and around 250rwkw. (She agrees to that)My next step will be install the water/meth kit and pon cams for GTR and go for 350awkw. Should be a very complete package then. Will do this for next summer.

P.S she is still going to paint her car blue and get GT-spoiler and then Lambo door kit and finally blue/black leather trim. This is ok according to her as getting the money from selling her FTO. If you ask me money could be better spent on engine mods, but then again do I really want her to be as fast as me.

Hey Graeme - off topic - but what are the chances we can get a day out at Atwood one day?? :D

We always have to race that short track as part of the Dutton Rally and I must say I find it one of the most fun events of the whole rally.

Back at work Tuesday will make some calls to our driving school who run it and find out what we need to arrange it. We never use it on weekends to my knowledge so should be possible. Will let you know then.

Also if I get cams what size are best 260 or 264? Is there much price difference and where is good cheap place to buy them?

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
