Haha i will ask him on Monday..

Yeah i texted Leon he said he's got nothing laying around, my mate couldn't organise a trailer anyway so he didn't end up coming.

Anyone else head out to TnT last night? Really good turn out of spectators and a good number of cars, was a good night

That would be super. Is it not roadworthy or was there another reason for it being trailered? Just need it to be able to drive around the block to test. Hopefully it plays up to so I can get a replacement and it will be problem solved :)

I need someone who is willing to drive about 1km down the road in an R33 gtst :) lol

Got my oil cooler sandwich plate on today, finally got that and the cooler the other day. Had been sitting at the post office since the 21st of November but the useless delivery drivers either didnt leave a note or put it somewhere stupid and it blew away

Also still looking for someone with an R33 GTST I can plug this power FC into and see if its the unit or my car with the problem

If anyone knows someone whos willing to help out it would be good. No hard running, the problem is at lower RPM on and off throttle so wont need to thrash the car or anything

Let me know :)

There just the JJR ones, but I think they are East Bear rip offs.

Either way they look good (better in real life then the photos) and didn't cost much at all :) My old OEM ones were leaking and I was going to re-seal them but I just thought I'd buy new ones instead

The Qest ones look better being All LED's everywhere. Mine just have LED globes that I got for the reverse and the indicator lights.

kool kool, ah i was looking at the jjr ones for a bit, but couldnt find the all led ones just brake. so found a guy doing the qest ones. they make a simple light looka whole lot better. hows your rig comin along, is that a second motor your doing, or you have pulled ur car apart. find anyone for the computer run yet.

Shrek, one piece RB26 crankshaft keyway, worth getting one made? It seems Will has accidently left mine out when he sent back to me..... Pretty sure it wouldnt be hard to get one done around here if it's a worthy option.

Engine is at a standstill till the Crank gets balanced, Apparently everyone wants theirs done before christmas so might not see it till the new year. Other then that it's pretty much ready to bolt together I think.

Mine's still on the road with my original engine in it, learnt my lesson from Other people on here :P

And I'm still looking for another 33 to test the Power FC out in. Hopefully if its dodgy in that to Apexi will be good with their warranty.

If you buy the timing gear + Backing plates they come with the keyways. So if its something you havent got yet it might be worth talking to Kudos or whoever about it. I got mine from Kudos with both keyways so was pretty happy

Edited by 89CAL

I just ordered new tensioner kit from KMS and Will has my keyway which he's sending up, I asked him about a one piece keyway... mentioned it would be stronger, unneeded and require crank out really.

NO THANKS CAPTAIN. ILL MAKE DO

Apparently I was wrong,Crank is ready to be picked up :)

some progress pics from today, did some mucking around working out where to run some lines, and also put the cams in. Sump is clean now as is the pickup, amazing what a few weeks in a dip tank will do:

Dunno doubt it tho we are always a fair bit behind the rest of the country. We still don't have 100 octane here yet lol.

Anyone know what the story is with the silver 180 plates 18ZRO? Been parked on the side of the road for a few weeks at the roundabout that heads out to blacks beach?

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
