I depends how you split your moneys, i see it as tyres are a consumable like fuel and rego though if your going through tyres at the same rate as fuel you've got an issue

Engines aren't much different to tyres, especially if you own a RB26 :yes:

hahahahah. i like this. alot.

the wife wouldnt tho.

having created butthurt over at micra hq, ill predominantly update here. seem the old guard dont like it when two blokes get together in a shed and build something good (but not necessarily better) for 10% of what they have spent.

now i know it was a roller dyno, so the 169kw wont be spot on, but f**k. chill the f**k out.

oh well. i didnt set out to build australias most powerful micra, (even if i have, ITS A MICRA WHO GIVES A f**k)

Sorry, I seem to have accidentally stoked the fire. :P

my mini gtr just scored some mini gtr wheels.

alright gents. how have we been?!

after a spirited drive on saturday (finally getting used to this thing!) i woke up sunday morning to see a small patch of oil under the car.

got her up on ramps, and found out that the rear main seal, installed about a month ago, appears to be leaking.

now seeing as i currently have 3 other cars at my disposal, i decided to fix her over time, so i started with disconnecting everything.

im in two minds as to weather i should do the head gasket/turbo/timing chain/arp studs now...... all comes down to money i guess, if i get my bonus and tax cash before shes back on the road ill get it done.

this will be the last update on the car affectionately nicknamed by my wife as "the green turd" thanks for that mcm.

for a while anyway. she will be back by the end of september.....

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
