The car got moved on the weekend to start the Targa prep.

I took it for a test run today to get reliability testing km into it. revalving of the rear shocks feels good, it should give much more confidence at speed on rough roads.

Hopefully we should get some testing time at Symmons this weekend

Well it's been a busy past couple of weeks.

I decided to bypass the heater core to eliminate the possibility of slip heater hoses, I followed some advice on setting up how the coolent lines run from a local bloke who races a RB25. We have since found out that the coolent flows differently between a 25 and a 20, cause I over heated the engine and poped a head gasket. Luckily the head was still within the factory tolerances, so I only needed to replace the head gasket.

We got a good test day in on Saterday with 70 or so laps of Baskerville, the car is consistently lapping about 0.7 secs quicker a lap then last year.

well it appears on a 25 you don't need to loop the rear outlet, into the front inlet, so I just blocked the rear outlet. I have now looped the rear outlet into the front inlet.

The car with the 25 I copied the idea from is a very successful circuit car, and has done heaps of race km with the rear outlet blocked

I've been pretty lazy since Targa. I had the car out to a club day at Symmons Plains a couple of weeks after Targa, and dropped my pb down to 59.8. Since then the car has been sitting. But it will be back out for a hillclimb at the end of October.

Some pics from Targa this year:

I think the big inlet ports would make i laggier down low, and I wouldn't be able to run VCT in targa. I did have a good look at it, but I don't think it would be worth it.

I had the car out again last weekend, and I took over 1 second of my PB at Symmons Plains

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
