First test drive proved very enjoyable. Driving a big stalled auto is definitely a lot different to a manual setup.

Saturday Night Roll Racing at Queensland Raceway back on the 14th was the cars first event. Anyone not familiar with this event up here, it's an awesome and relatively new social racing event similar to a happy laps or powercruise session. People line up in the staging lanes and in pairs roll around to the main straight and drag each other. The nights very social and is as fun off the track as it is on the track.

a few days prior to the event I got a fabricator mate to pop around and we had some late night fab fun putting a side pipe on the car. Personally I think it turned out awesome. Bolts on and off just after the gutted cat is tucked up high on the car for good clearance.

Now it was time to actually take the car out there and have some fun with it. To be honest I was more nervous than I thought I would be, it was excited nervous but nervous all the time. Took the first few runs relatively easy just to get a feel for the new setup and how it would react, specially the gearbox.

Mates got a video of the maiden run for the car. Wins a win even if its not overly fast

Took a mate for a ride later in the night and got an in car video of a race. As you can hear 2nd gear is a bit of a write off as it just wanted to break traction and get loose. New to the setup I decided it best to get out of it and back on it rather than drive though it.

All in all the night was awesome and got a great felling of accomplishment finally getting the car out to an event. Few teething issues here and there to sort out like any brand new build but all in all a successful first night out.

What power is it making on e85 again?

Currently tune is very mild. 500rwhp at 25psi. TH400 is a power sucker, however the cams that are in the head are too small for the size of the turbo and we arent seeing good enough gains per PSI of boost we are adding so we brought it back to have fun at the track last weekend.

Cams are In:264 Ex:272. Inlet is the big killer

Turbo: 80mm Billet Turbocharger

More info on crank trigger setup please.

Some good photos of it a few pages back.

Both cam and crank triggers use Honeywell GT 101 sensors. There is also a small 12 tooth trigger wheel that sits between the balancer and the timing belt cog

Pretty quiet on the car front for the last few weeks, busy moving house and life in general.

Contemplating a few different things to change on the car. Typical RB life has me pushing decent amounts of oil into the catch can. Thinking of putting on a "Pre catch can catch can" i guess you could call it. Here is a few mock up pics of what it would be. Hoping that gravity helps keep at least some of the oil inside the covers lol

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
