Lol he works a street over from my workshop, i hear it all the time. I infact ran into old mate at bp whilst Kails and i were filling the 32 up, I strolled over and asked to have a look as a mate was "raging" how quick it was. I said "whats the knock mate?" he told me it was shims so i asked if it was a Neo 34 Motor to his reply "i dunno" series 2? "i dunno" how much power do you make "i dunno".... now my reply " Bro 33's dont have solid lifters, no shims there ... its your big ends. Dont rape it to much, Cya"

thanks, i dont have shims (never pulled a rb apart so i got no idear i just ashumed thay were like rb26 ) and im gessing i got close to 250kw atw at the moment ok. its not big ends, its something in the head.

No shims in a rb25. They are hydraulic lifters. Might have a collapsed one from having incorrect oil flow restrictors in place. If you drive it hard does it get better for a little bit? Unless its had a rb25 neo head or solid lifter conversion that is.
yer it dose seem to fix it up a little bit when ya rev it., oil presher dose not change once its fully warmed up.

Ok update on tomorrow morning Cuzz cant make it but we will still do a run over the local circuit so meet at 9 at the Landsborough BP if anyone cant make it let me no my number is 0421945003. We may also do a Sunday night run as well if anyone is interested in that

sigh, sometimes im glad i dont come on here much.... anyone know of any pootrols for sale there mates wanna get rid of?

i saw GQ LWB up noosa way with big muddies and raised like 3", it was up for sale for like $4500, was near the tyrepower up there i think some one who either works there or around there ows it. looked like it had all the goods on it, not a bad price.

Sorry bout that. Had something important come up.

Will definately be organising one for this weekend coming, the 3rd or 4th. New tune, woot. Those that have my number let me know if your keen, if you dont, then pm me for an invite.

sic. where the hell are they. i wish i could come with ya, sounds like fun. it keeps me up at night thinking what that thing of yours has got lol

Why does your sig say you gotta love open wastegate. yours is plumbed in, I hear it everyday.

Oh btw lads look out for a few cheeky coppers in an aurion, they know there shit. Subsequently 32 is impounded!

nugg33 if your going to drive around like a twat in kunda park industrial estate at least make a decent effort at it you shouldn't even be doing stupid shit on the street so do it somewhere else! and yes that was my boyfriend that just abused you

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
