Such a shit run lately hope it turns around soon so you can get back out on the road

Yeah thanks mate.... Stainless tube arrives tomorrow BUT in speaking of my luck, TNT had lost my damn rear main and boot etc so it'll now be a few days late :/ will get it in the weekend though no matter what it takes!

that cat looks nice, you gonna polish it when you do ya oil changes lol :P

you sure made alot of power with a 3inch system ..

Funny you say that, was considering heat coat black :P

Yeah I think Ash posted somewhere he made in the 370's with a 3inch and Kurtis was close too... Will see how the cat goes and then look at the rear muffler later.... Trying too keep it quiet....

All good, The parcel should be here soon!! 3" pipe arrived too so gotta go get the cat flanged up!!

More positive news - SAU NATS entry confirmed

come on man 6 weeks to go..

my car is parked nice and safe ready to rock and roll.. its odd when a car is ready so far out from an event, i almost want to pull things apart to double check haha

Will give it a good skid on sunday but not blow another head gasket

Quick update, pulled the front cover off the gearbox after cleaning it all the other day so i could replace the Input shaft seal, i was NOT impressed when i found this -

The picture doesn't show how bad it actually is, i run an ordinary ruler over it and you could clearly see how much material has been worn off it... It looks like the surface has either picked up sand and dirt due to the torn clutch boot which i am replacing OR material off the clutch, there was all sorts of crap in the housing but mostly melted brass etc which would have happened at the time of welding so i DOUBT it would have been in there for a long time... This just adds to the list of disappointment from the car BUT i will get it all sorted!

Amayama are searching for one for me now, hoping for an email this arvo!

    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
