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.

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
