Not wow as in big, wow as in that has to be one of the neatest getting around.

thanks mate, just bought it about a month ago, slowly slowly, hopefully it'll see some track time early next year

Oh...

That's not the 33R that blew it motor at Sandown is it? Sold by Bel a month or so ago?

Correct, as I've been pulling the motor apart, I found a decent sized crack in the block behind the alternator. I think it threw a rod in cylinder 1 =/

So yeah it did get track time and hopefully it will get some more track time when I manage to source a motor

you got me =P

In all seriousness, if anybody has a contact or is selling an R33 RB26, with engine number (RB26-059xxx) onwards, please let me know. I'm keen as mustard to get this thing running!

Yeah, I was tracking that same day with him.

What are your plans? Buy a second hand rb26 and put it straight in? or a rebuild?

If your doing a rebuild, feel free to PM me and I can get you a quote

Also have a mate who has a n1 block in his garage that I'm trying to twist his arm to sell it

Edit: just read your above post

Damn...Well yeah, at least the rest of the car is clean and straight as!

Well I'm not gonna rebuild it with this block. Depends what I can get really from now till end of year. If I can find a good 2nd hand one, I'll just do a mild refresh (Cosworth 1.1mm HG, ARP2000 rod bolts, ARP headstuds, oil restrictor, enlarge oil returns, baffled sump, new water pump, N1 oil pump, blah blah blah)

If not, then I'll look for a bare block perhaps N1 like you said, new head, new crank, CP+Eagle combo, Tomei Type B and all the rest of the above plus all the other usual stuff

    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
    • The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.
    • Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
