Hey damo, just stuff the sound shield box full of fire blankets... help cut the ressonance down.

Dude--- sucks about the turbo!

You know, I recon a nice set of red top rb20 rocker covers in crincle red would look good toooo....

just like fire blankets from bunnings or alike?

id profer to sell the cam covers at the moment but if it sitts in my shed long enough it ends up pn the car.

love it!

thanks. im happy with the way it looks at the moment. i have a picture taken from the same place same angle from my first basky day and the car has never matched it looks wise untill now i dont think.

nearly 2 months since i updated this.

i went off and done targa with Sav Man and that resulted in my daily 4 door being a donor car so post targa we had to fix that up. the result was just a tidy up with about 20 cans of degreser used in the engine bay and a few new parts thrown at it. like split dump pipe, new ac compressor and condenser fan, strut brace, clutch pressure plate. really just shit we had laying around. i also scored some Panasport rims, gts (or N1) headlights, type M areo front bar and shaved boot lid. ill throw some pics up of it once its looking clean and tidy again.

i had some time to ponder turbo options but to see what elce needs to be fixed on it ive borrowed a mates gt3071r. ive had a few goes at fitting it as it wasnt a straight swap as the core of the turbo is stuck in a different position to mine which has ment a new oil drain had to be made and slight modifications to the manifold. id just about given up on the car over the past few weeks but i had a look through here tonight and got my thinking cap on and came to some practical solutions.

this car will be going into storage untill late 2011 after this event so i wanted to get one under its belt before parking it. i am doing a club day at my local track where i hope to brake my PB. the car is getting dynoed on thursday so between now and the 4th june i should get up some more shots of some revised mods.

a future outlook would be one of the new garrett GTX series turbos and maybe some half bread fuel. not e85 just yet.

Cats out now. i was going to suprise you.

Car runs again. good old RB first hit of the key and fired up.

its now 3071R equiped. s bit quieter in the cab and blitz SBC instaled.

Results = tomorow.

[sav man]

Should be a pretty responsive package. If it doesn't get a 62 round Symmons we're burning it out.

[DJRIFT]

car tuned. heres a pull on the dyno.

[DJRIFT]

car now sits on 295 18s dunlop D03Gs rear.

thanks to bens help we massaged the guards out just enough to fit them. they will have to be repainted thoe as the paint didnt want to stretch as far as the metal.

will try and get pics up as soon as i fix my fing camera/phone.

[sav man]

No cutting needed either

[DJRIFT]

[SimonR32]

Yeah mate, like the ones you buy for your kitchen... I've used them in mufflers as packing... good stuff.

-You know you want to spray those rb20 covers crinckle red and bang em on!

I'm loving the gtr intake, I think that'll be my next step once I've finished with the Trust T67 set up.

What's the next event?

Cheers

it was an older series turbo around the 3082r size. massive front wheel. i didnt get to realy drive it to see what it was like but it was laggy

the new one is a 3071r off a mates rb20. mine made less power with similar boost because it wont accept any ignition timing. e85 will fix this

ill be after somthing in the middle i think.

justin- the cover have gone sorry mate. im about to have a big clean up of parts i no longer need.

i got a fire blancket thanks. made a huge difference to noise.

there is a club day im entering this weekend.

yell out if you start the 25-GTR intske. ill tell you all you need to know.

[XRATED]

Where's the club day?

I'll see how the greddy/vh45 tb combo goes with the T67. I have a couple of spare GTR intake sides in stock, as I have a greddy mani, oversize tb's and milled out injector mani for the GTR... 6 x 48mm throttle bodies- oooo yeah! ha ha ah.

Do you have a valley cover to suit the red cover rb20 rocker covers???

Cheers

I didn't need to burn the car out, Damo managed a 62.6.

Dunno if these pics will work cause they are on facebook.

Bit of drift on the cool down lap.

[DJRIFT]
