Hey all,

Dont really come onto SAU very much but thought i would share with you what we have built in the last couple months.

Its the same silvia shell its always been but completly re-done.

Savanna motorsport along with ORIGIN Australia have come on board for 2010 and the car now has, Full ORIGIN urban kit, 50mmm wide fenders all round, ORIGIN carbon fibre bonnet.

HELPS METALWORKS has gone all out on the Fab work on this car. Craig spent countless hours making the whole front of the car rock solid. It has roll cage tubing throughout the whole front end and all metal not needed has gone. Craig did some front tubs as i was going to be getting some crazy new wheels soon. He also made a custom HELPS exhaust manifold which has changed the note of the car heaps as you will hear in the video below.

ElectricScan Automotive rewired the whole engine bay along with the custom external coil pack setup. All the factory wires have been removed and only the microtech loom is in place.

Luke Bing designed the graphics and what a great job hes done at that. Myself and my mate KC painted the car a custom silver and it turned out great, exactly how i wanted it.

And the best part of the new car is the heart :) AUTOSOLUTIONS & RESTORATIONS along with Lewis engines have built a crazy new RB25/26 motor combo. With Andy coming on board to help for the 2010 year i couldnt wait to get the car in his hands. Andy has built many drift cars before including the CTS car and the WheelWorx S15. So i knew it was in the right hands :) The new motor was put together with the best parts i could afford. It has NITTO oil pump, Forged rods and pistons along with a brand new R33 GTR crank all chucked into an RB25 block. Lewis engines checked over the head and did the ACL bearings throughout the motor. Im still running the TD-06 25G with a custom HELPS exhaust manifold. The car runs 20psi and the true power figure is unknown as it just wheel spins like crazy on the dyno.

Like the Silvia bonnet with the 180 front bar custom lights etc it looks really good.

It's something I thought about doing with mine too.

Really like craigs work too! Seeing more of it everyday.

    • If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.
    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
