OK, sorry for the lack of updates, but work got in the way for the past few months, and seeing as it finances the project, I couldn't really say no.

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

Having seen a fair number of incidents at the track, and also being a requirement for the race category I plan to enter, I finally bit the bullet and went the full cage. Asking around the racers in WA, one name kept popping up for who does the best rollcages. Brad Stacy. Working for one of the top Race Workshops in WA, and also working from home, I got in touch with Brad, and explained my requirements. Brad was awesome to deal with, and having done dozens of cages before I felt confident leaving my car with him.

The cage took about 2weeks, which wasn't bad considering he was doing it in his spare time. I'm really happy with the end result, and would recommend Brad to anyone thinking of getting a cage done in WA :thumbsup:

Great work Paul,

Good to see Brad sorted Cage out :thumbsup: .

Whats next dude,

new RB30 :rolleyes:

I'm leaving the engine as is for the time being, makes plenty of power. Likely conversion to E85 fuel though, which should improve response and up the power a bit.

was just wondering about this car just yesturday, how long until it gets back on the track???

Potentially it could go back to the track within about 2weeks, but in order to get everything ready to pass scrutineering it will take alot longer. At least I'm back working on the car again, so progress will be made :thumbsup:

just getting my battery nerd on, what are you thinking of using?

you can get pretty powerful motorbike batteries, they already use them in race/drift applications anyway

bit expensive, but that is pretty light, what one were you looking at? how many cca?

are you looking at the lithium ion technology?

depending on the cca you require i'd say a Deka Powersports ETX18L or ETX30L,

they are a AGM technolgy and should have plenty of power and they could even sit around for 6 months and still start the car.

Give Goodchild Enterprises a call and they should be able to give you a good price on one, even tell them Erik from Bitz sent you

stock cams will do 450rwhp wouldnt ever use that much grunt really in a track car, plus you would try to retain vct at any cost possible as it is a very good thing to have while tuning.

very clean car mate did you have a dyno sheet from the engine set up on page 1?

i was also supprised at the weight of the doors as well i have mine off at the moments and there feels like enough metal to make a charade out of them.

how much weight do you think you saved by stripping the wiring harnes out of curiosity?

paul have you disabled the VCT to run the big cams?

looking to do this to mine but cant find out much about it.

Hi Tristan, I've got the biggest VCT cams I could find, Apexi 270degs. I think the VCT is one of the best parts of the RB25s. To be honest you'll struggle to find big VCT cams, so you may be stuck with disabling it.

I do somewhere, I will try and get a copy posted up.

At least 10kgs, I have shopping bags full of it.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
