Astounding... I mean for a moment there, I though you might've had some background information into the twisted psyche of the average Bosozoku/Yanki... Ta.

The Yanki are just trying to out do other Yanki, what with the outrageous modifications and all. Show off factor maybe? About the only mod that has any credit would be the oilcooler hanging out the front of the car, as this was widely used in the GTS racing category in the early 70's. Alot of the mods (flared arches, front splitters etc) were more or less racing mods back in the 70's, and the Yanki have just taken them out of proportion. The upturned exhausts are for maximum loudness (remember, these guys are tools) and some of them can spit flame, so once again, they're going for show-off/nuisance supremacy. Some of the mods are over the top, so I hope you can figure how these guys think from looking at those horrid Toyota TownAces alone...

But yeah, they're good for nothing tools most of the time, and they need suitable bosozoku (violent racing clan) type cars to back up their mentality!! :)

Did I flame 'em enough???:flamed:

**Edit: Heres a link to a game called "The Super Fast Friends Car King BU" which, just by looking at the pics alone and realizing someone can market and actually make money from this, should make people realize that Yanki are a force to be made fun of...

Anyone have any links or idea's as to where /how I can source the "The Super Fast Friends Car King BU" game? I have a chipped PS2, need this game bad!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
