Had the oznats over the weekend...

The car wasnt finished but just bolted it together... need to finish the interior and the front end , side skirts etc etc

Have to sort out my traction issues. Even with slicks i cant keep the power down. If you listen to the video im constantly on and off throttle and constantly loosing traction. even on the well prepped drag strip. any ideas would be great

Long time coming but i got the car tuned, again. This time by a different tuner and to say it was tuned badly seems an understatement.

Havent had a chance to take it out to the drags again but have a drift prac day coming up in 3 weeks i think, so will test it out then

attached the new dyno print out

I wanted an FP HTA turbo before i got mucked around and sent a wrong turbo.  Nice to see it made plenty of power

Put on some AR1s  285s all round and went and did a track day at mallala on sat.

was a blast. car went really well and the tyres were excellent for the price

i now need to upgrade the brakes as it boiled its guts out and lost all braking by the end. and also get some coilovers to

But was a great day!

forgot to add.

had the VCT sorted working and tuned before the track day. You could see a bit of a difference on the dyno print out. but the butt dyno it made a hell of a difference. felt boost came on so much earlier and smoother. made the car so much easier to drive and so much quicker all round.

Funny how much it changed the whole feeling of the car

No, but we did one earlier this year so I've got a fairly good handle on what's needed. We used a stock bottom end (found an RB30 bottom end that had never been run). 

It's the little things that you'll need to sort out:

- the oil feed for the VCT (the machine shop we use has done quite a few 25/30's & knows what's needed),

-what you do with the cold start crap and associated hoses (we removed pretty much all of it, and don't regret it),

-coolant lines on the intake side (once again we got rid of some),

-the oil drain / breather on the front exhaust side (RB30 block doesn't have the port for this),

-engine mounts / raising the bonnet (we kept the mounts stock, and raised the rear of the bonnet with some spacers under the hinges - also had to ditch the strut tower brace. Didn't want to lower the mounts as we have an extended sump, and didn't want it to be the lowest part of the car),

-the dump pipe (had to cut & extend ours, as turbo was now 40mm higher),

-you'll probably need a new RB30 water pump (the RB25 one has a slotted hole, which doesn't quite cover the water channel in the block - ask me how I know),

-the intake piping (once again because the top of our engine was higher, we needed longer intake pipe silicone joiners on the intake pipes, just above the exhaust manifold. Had to buy a 1 metre length as we couldn't find the right size in smaller lengths),

-you will need to buy a second timing belt tensioner & a longer timing belt

-intake side wiring - we had to make up some extended loom mounts because the head was now higher.

 

I can't think of anything else at the moment. If you want the machine shop's contact details let me know - he's in Pooraka. We are loving the engine - the torque delivery is beautiful.

looking at some budget coils.

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
