Ben you've made half a point and have made it well.

All I can say (can't speak for the other Mods) is that certain older (non car related) threads will run their term and will then be appropriately locked or continued in Wasteland.

ps.

dale.. i wanna talk to u about setting up a reliable ca18det for my keto.

Talk away, It pretty much the luck of the draw though as i was saying it depends on the history of the engine. So unless you are going to start with a rebuild then there is no guarantee that the engine you have will be reliable. The thing is that CA's are relatively cheap to rebuild, for around $2500 + machining (but i have some parts already) i can have a bottom end that will easily hold 250-300kw+

Pete I think the answer is to create an Off Topic SA section so people can create nonsense threads and and every one else isn't exposed to them. Do what NS does and make the section a non post count section, hell if this had been done from the start Damo and a few others would only have 5 posts and not the thousands currently they have (not that post count means anything).

We are all member of the "modified/performance" car community but that doesn't mean that we have to always talk about cars.

Amen to that.

CRoNic...

got link to that ca18det on ns.com?

Ahem, I think it was I that alerted you to said CA package :(

Just finding it now, but NS is running like a CAde auto with fked coilpacks at the moment....

Here 'tis

"You don't need to warm up your car. Warming up your car, in my mind, is a waste of time if you're running Castrol oil"

Good on ya, Jason.

(that was on a Castrol commercial just on)

Hi Jason

Sell out much?

The day I take engineering advice from a cricketer is the day I trust my root canal to a f**king demolitions expert.

Thanks for the fish

Love

do you have a link to yellow terra, like to see how they mount it and have access to pulleys still ? and have working a/c still?

Ben you've made half a point and have made it well.

I like it when I make only half a point. It seems to synchronize the yin and the yang.

Better to make half a point and do it well than make a whole point and entirely f**k it up

I suppose.

-D

Samir Godzilla,

If you can't go thru with a deal on the sale of my Stagea which you started with your offer, then don't go shopping for cars and don't waste my time.

BTW an R33 is not a Stagea :D

You've been reported to the mods.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • 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!" 😛
