Nah I didnt think of that, Im trying to clear up my loan as fast as possible, once thats done it will free up a heap of funds, So i may delay the cage for a while and run the car in supersprints / track days While I learn to drive the thing properly before I start doing door to door stuff,

Last think I would want is to wreak sombody elses car off, because of a silly mistake or somthing.

In other news I have the car at my house now, and I even gave it a wash, Just gotta wait for my de-cat pipe to turn up so I can fit the exhaust up, and not piss the neighbours off with a straight exhaust lol.

Question re: Bonnet pins, If I have no bonnet latch do i need to run 2 sets of pins or does 1 pair count as 2 bonnet restraints?

my reading of the bonnet pins was that if the car is road registered.. and has the normal bonnet latch.. it must have pins as a secondary catch... but if its unregistered.. then it only needs pins.. but thats just my interpretation of it.

have you checkd a price with riskgin?

seriouslt if you cant afford acage you cant' afford to race

by that do you mean a full on welded in jobby... or do you count a bolt in as a cage aswell or does a bolt in cage not count?? only ask coz im planning on using a bolt in.. the cages thing.. it confuses me.

A bolt in is easy enough for me (circa $1k), but a weld in is generally twice the price or more going off the quotes ive had.

Plus Im saving for a decent daily that can tow, so things will slow down on this build front for a while.

I'm sure Duncan will agree.

Don't go with a bolt in cage, save your money and do it once properly. I actually owe my life to a bolt in cage from some 10 years or so ago but I'd never recommend one for circuit racing.

I'f you know what you want pm me and I'll give you a quote to do a proper cage.

yeah look the difference between a bolt in and full on weld in is about $1k (esp if you get brad to do it).

It is a permanent investment in that shell and apart from safety will tie the car together much better.

Considering a single set of semi slicks or slicks are $2k+ a weld in cage is good value

It needs to be tuned, and im still trying to decide whether to have this one tuned or just wait for the RB30.

I may still run the 25 but wont be done before the SAU day, Too much to do and I dont wanna rush things to get it all done.

Edit, Also needs a new timing belt

Yeh exactly. Dont go rushing stuff. Will only end in regrets later on. Take your time and do it proper! :)

Thats the plan im sticking to with my project. I must admit it does get tempting to just go hard out and dodge it up to finish it quickly.

What sort of RB30 you planning on building?

Just the typical rb30 route, forged rods and pistons, maybe cams, nothing spectacular.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult

      Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.

      Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
