Dirt, can you provide some more details on the parts used and the installation detail? Would you be keen to produce a kit for me/SAU members?

id be super keen for a kit too paul!

i reckon theyd sell just as good as ur 2wd switches :)

hi gents

hey paul ! good idea as gave as a bit of a scare !! will look at that (your setup)this week also will be fitting an idler pulley to stop belt flap.

as far as letting as japanese driver drive our car, no as this point that wont be happening, maybe in the future but this trip is to see how we stack in performance and driving.

a few pics of car at test day yesterday, video incar to come.

i just can't believe how well the car ran yesterday and the speeds managed! brakes are again being tested beyond their limit!

cheers russ

the only thing is how do you start the car? when it's off there is 0 pressure. actually I guess you just have to wait for it to build a bit of pressure on the starter then the switch will deactivate. I would like to see a kit set to cut ign and fuel at say 1bar and just have a rocker switch in cabin (preferably sprung so you have to hold it down) that you hit to enable starting.

also, it looks like I may be able to get a bit of time off early december and may crash this party in tsukuba. I'd love to see you guys turn a few laps and share a few beers after too. nismo festival the week before would be nice too as that's one thing I haven't done in japan.

MATE You are so very welcome to come along! it will be a blast

last count ithink there are 16 of us! let me know this week if you want to tag or whether you will do your own thing.

would be great to to meet you and have a few!

cheers russ

dont forget to drop me a line too, when you get here Russ, im keen as mustard to get out and see you and the rest of the action , heck maybe even meet the legendary baron, even show you guys where its at for topping up in tokyo.

looking forward to december...

2630 yeah needed to put some decals on the car to thanks those sponsors that are helping us out! but i love the all black look myself!

hey john, that was mark not me! havent even drivin the bloody thing yet! :)

russ

thanks 2630,

here's another

russ

awesome. the bit where you came across the fishtailing BMW 2002 was interesting but a little hairy! The car sounds great and is being driven well. I imagine you will have to have a look at gear ratios for tsukuba. It seems to me that it was well set up for QIR but wont you make the gearing a little longer, especially in 3rd and 4th for the japanese trip?

Russ, i am also wondering why youre using the standard GTR S-wheel???

surely its time to get a different tiller?

Yeah as much as said i dont like them you have to thank ur sponsors if u are lucky enough to have them, again : :) Also love the rego plates :(

Edited by 2630GTS

i think the vid is making the gear ratios look quite short, but that is not the case.

mark is changing from third to fourth at about the 170 kph point and from fourth to fifth at about 230 kph , it was hitting to 275 odd on the back straight of the national circuit and 245 on the front straight in that video. with rpm currently top speed i think is about 285 kph.

I use a toggle switch to override the relay circuit (you must use the toggle switch to start the car as a motor thats not running does not have oil pressure :) ). We use a 20psi hobbs switch. Once again Richard you are on the money.

DiRTgarage can produce a kit form of this system with all parts and full installation instructions if there is enough interest.

They will be made with the same high quality of the 2WD/4WD switch looms we already produce.

What do you guys think ? (there is some obvious interest)

Russ...sorry to whore your thread...but you guys can have one free of charge...hell ill even install it...it will only cost you guys a return plane ticket to come over and see you guys compete. :D

    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
