Just do general maintenance things.

Clean out your air filter, replace fuel and oil filters.

Flush out your trans and radiator fluid. Do your spark plugs.

Take it down to a workshop and get them just to go over your car, making sure there is nothing out of the ordinary.

That's what i did, even on my 31, and that is nothing compared to yours!

Wow. Parts for the RB26 are so confusing. Everyone recommends different things and plays down the use of others.

:D

Yeah no shit hey. Trying to find out about catch can setups/ oil mods for some piece of mind and just when I get some useful info someone two posts down trashes it.

All I want is a lightly tuned reliable GTR.

  • Oil mods like which catch can, relocator and oil cooler
  • Front pipes (No I'm not going to AM Performance
  • Pods or panel filters
  • clutch, ebc, injectors, cams, fuel pumps.

Too many options, too many chances of buying a brand thats not going to work well.

Just ask the people on here that have the proven power and parts.

700cc is way to big for a street car, you'd only want 700cc's if you're planning on going over 400kw. 575's are big enough for most street cars.

I wouldn't go smaller than 700cc, I'll probably have to go bigger if i want to run E85.

+1

our bosses sit in an a/c office all shift and come out for maybe 5 minutes a night to give everyone the eagle eye and go back to there 20 degree room :D we move tons of freight hourly by hand rain hail or shine. i get paid decent to do it so i dont care heaps but to make us work in 40+ heat for the same wage and same hours is bit of a joke

Who do you work for? my mate works for Toll loading planes.

Some peeps may have heard of The Tunnels just up the road from me in Panorama........they're used to store wine now and maintain a constant cool temperature.

Be nice to park myself in there for the next week or so with a big screen TV and access to the various Grange bottles in there :thumbsup:

Some History: The Tunnels

Those tunnels where also used to grow mushrooms. I used to live there when i was little cos my old man owned SA Mushrooms and he owned them.

I wouldn't go smaller than 700cc, I'll probably have to go bigger if i want to run E85.

Well if it was e85, most definately 700 would be probably what he'd be after if he's just got a 'slightly modified' car... not enough stations for people to use e85 as a daily (unless they can somehow run a 98 octane petrol tune as well)

I'll go with e85 eventually but not until it starts appearing at more stations- until they do, its impractical for a daily.. then and only then i'd be upgrading, but for anything up to 450hp/320kw odd on premum, a 575cc will do that and still have headroom

-D

just keep turning it full left then full right and eventually it'll bleed out into the reservoir.

Brake however you will need someone for that.

did that on the weekend and still no better haha

and i sorta flushed the brakes with a mate but i need to flush it all out and put new fluid in i reckon

43 on the laptop..... man i hate this thing.

would be easier to run to the library, and read a book by the time i get any info i want....

    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
    • Nah mate, safe as $800k apartments
