also... if you are going to put on an rb25 turbo and nistune... some adjustable cam gears would go a long way to help get your turbo on song, and pull out some power in your mid range... supprised no one has suggested this as an option for your low down torque woes....

Nistune is a budget (but very good) management solution. Far better than spending a few hundred on an some fuel interceptor then getting it tuned, and infinitely better than putting some unknown remap in your car especially when thinking about bigger turbos.

As for the turbo.. a 25 turbo will come on song later but have more top end. When I still had the RB20 with the 25 turbo is made ~250rwhp untuned and was making its' full 12psi by 3500rpm, a tune would have helped a lot but it was still a lot more fun than the stock turbo.

Poor aussies and all your heavy restrictions...

Indonesia?, Equatorial Guinea?, Uzbekistan? Do tell. Catalytic converters have been round for a long time now. I'm wondering what sort of place allows you to run on the street without them. I'm guessing the President has a uniform and the national pastime is survival.

Last I heard, only months ago, it wasn't necessary to have a cat-converter in NZ.

Unless the guy(s) who mentioned that didn't really know (or care about) the law...

      Hmm. I should have thought of the clutch bleeding issue. It should be #1 thought for "can't select gears". As to "sounds like the top".....have you actually gone out with the stethoscope and tried to pin it down any more than that? And, buy or borrow a timing light, and set the timing properly.

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
