Well Took it out for a quick spin at lunch today. Plugged in the ECU and everything started and ran perfectly! which is good news.

gave it a little bit up the main road and it has a bit more top end actually - infact in auto it shifts out of 2nd at 7,500rpm! pulled hard all the way and I was going over 120km at that stage so didnt want to keep the foot planted. It feels the same at low revs, mid range seems a little stronger (could be my imagination) but definitely pulls better up top and just keeps revving up to 7,500 - which is weird because the sticker on the ECU says 7,000 rpm.

Anyway I think I got a good bargain there!

Now its time for the high flow and dump so I can really make use of this ECU.

Good result Ben,, Sounds a lot like the Impul.

Got up close and personal with the new girl for the first time today.

After spending a heap of coin on stuff needed for a good hand wash at home I had mixed feelings, happy with how she sparkles but not so happy with the imperfections im finding on closer inspection - Kinda like some girls you get home from a night club, then see them under the proper light.....:O

Well after being busted and sitting in the garage for well over a month, I finally got the 260RS onto a car trailer and off to a mob that fixes gearboxes and diffs.

Entered some grass events in a local car show in November and she developed a knock in the front diff :rant: .

She will be fixed before the end of the month and be ready for SAU Putty road cruise!! :rofl: .

i would if it was between the 2 halves of the manifold but it looks like a real pain to get to

just want to know if its stock or not

also, i found where my leak is coming from, just need to work out how to get to it :-/

and i washed the beast :D

Edited by pipster11

another strange thing discovered on the stagea

~5-10mm spacer on the lower half of the manifold

anyone seen this on an rb25 before?

umm, that text that you have put the red box around says 'gasket'

yeah, and where there should be a gasket i have a 10mm thick piece of something

Probably a thermal barrier spacer, to keep your plenum nice and cool. :thumbsup:

I fitted one that Cam made under my plenum to space it up and fit the Deka injectors, 20mm of Bakelite does a very good job of insulating. The plenum is cold while driving now.

Back to back tested with a non cotact thermal gun, my plenum skin temp dropped from 82deg to around 50odd deg after I fitted the spacer.

It stops a huge amount of heatsoak from the engine, which has to add power, and the runner length increase definitely increases torque.:cheers:

i can't find any info about it on an rb25 tho which is odd

and the plenum is still hot because it still has the coolant lines running through the top half

and i'm concerned that its messing up the area into which the injectors fire

something along the lines of this, tom?

looks very similar to that but looks more like bakelite (sp?)

has a rough/textured surface

- New Oil

- Oil Filter

- Spark Plugs

- Brake upgrade to 370Z / G37's

- Front windows tinted to match the rear

Now... I just need to get around to doing a highflow / dump / ecu / injectors / front mount..... ehhh >_<

- Front windows tinted to match the rear

Looks sweet once it's done eh?

On topic, Just bought some r33 GTS calipers for my povo front brake upgrade :whistling: Wil be getting the rest of my bits thru Conceptz tho'.

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
