haha, another thing i like about the dirty old sr. dont need to drop the engine to swap the sump. just unbolt the pan, and bolt the new one up.

True. I must say I've been toying with the idea lately of pulling the motor out, doing sump, head gasket, restrictor mod and replacing bearings. I dunno, I'll see how I go :(

Sounds good mate, just let me know when and I'll be there.

I got mine from someone selling it on NS, managed to pick it up for $450.

As for the bigger sump, the motor will have to come out, a mod I'd love to do on mine but I've always said if the motor comes out, I'll rebuild at the same time

thats the easy part. ive got a mechanics workshop at my disposal and we can pull it out and back in ourselves but ive got no idea how to replace the sump

but should be a fun learning process none the less

Hey Luke, been meaning to ask, how do you find the ARC air box over say twin pods?

Pods = HAI = Fail

Air Box = CAI = Win

dunno. dont know that area. was on the south side of adelaide.

Dave, it's called Southies Revenge........remember that little Rick Roll incident :(

in all seriousness, I hope you get it sorted bud......you only just got the red beast back on the road :)

as far as the Rick Rolling goes, don't ever try that on the ns site......you'll receive a life ban, just ask Roo....."just quietly" I think it was more to do with his blue mesh! :(

haha, cheers dude. just running some quick sums, assuming im right and the chassis is still straight (no visible damage to rails, and while it was a hard hit, it wasnt a hard hit) and i replace the exhaust as well, should see change from $1k (sub $500 if i dont replace the exhaust).

but time will tell i spose.

either way, looks like ill be smashing out some overtime the next few months.

Usually abnormal margins between bonnet and fenders / fenders and doors can tell you if anything is out of whack. Sometimes it just means the car has been crashed before and the job wasn't done well.

    • You need the kit turbo taipan has shown you because that manifold ia designed have side feed injectors 
    • @johnnysr22 did you end up installing the little screen thingy and did it work ?>   
    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
