12 years on and I still miss my little Rolla :(

Mmmmm Minis, I too looked at doing one of them when I found a company in the UK that do a conversion kit to put with a Honda motor and box or a Hyabusa motor and box with an electric motor for reverse in the back of the Mini :D

great news!

been in touch with matt from nismo again this morning to confirm a few setting and what not. the guy is gonna add in 30% fuelling so i can potter around on e85. brilliant. i still wont hook the turbo up until we get to the tuner, but still. brilliant result.

hopefully my heat wrap turned up today, and i can pull it all apart at scotts sat night/sunday, mod the rb25 actuator to fit, and finally get this f**king thing finished! (well pre tune finished)

cosmetics next.

if anyone is reading this and they know someone with a k11 or parts, please ask if they have sway bars. aftermarket of course.

weekend update!

again. no pictures.

i promise ill get some when i tear it down to heat wrap it and shiz.

first of thanks to odium for the loaning of his clutch alignment tool and selling me the rb actuator.

we diodnt use the tool and the actuator is bigger than the car. (thanks anyway chum)

thanks to grant, that stock 34/33 cat bolted straight up to the micra, quietened it a bit but not by much, slowed the flow down big time tho. with the actuator flap open its makes almost 3 psi eeeek. will have to be carefull taking it to the tuner next friday.

thanks as always to scotty for the use of his hoist and his tools, and himself. took the gear box out, replaced the flogged stock clutch witha n exedy/datrats hd one. also the jun flywheel went in there too. engine revs so much quicker now....

we managed to tear down the fuel rail and throttle body also, made up the tops feed rail with the spacers and adapters to bolt it straight in. however the iac valve has had to be removed from the throttle body to allow it to fit. as soon as i get a chance i will head back round and finish it off.

last few things i need are an sr20 actuator, aparrently they bolt straight up to the gtr turbo. and some sort of boost controller.

thanks to Kinkstah for the big bag of pumps will have a go thru them and pick the most suitable to fit. then i will the pass the rest on to other people in need of an upgrade!

currently waiting on the nistune back from dmd/nistune. they have added the ga15 throttle body, 370 iunjectors and 30% more fuelling across the map to allow me to use e85 to get to the tuner instead of having to drain the tank. very nice of them to do so.

tuner is predicting 120 to 130ish kw.... i have to agree.

anyone else like to make a prediction?! also the tuner is going to video the dyno run.

arent they are 12 dude. or 14.7 we cant work it out.

i need 7 to start with, then some sort of controller so tuner can up it.... literally the last two things i have to source!

thank you tho mate. really apreciate the offer!

right. i knew there was a mod to get it to 14.7..... but twe thought it was 12psi.

thanks mate, you explained it perfectly. the 10psi actuator should actually be fine then! these blocks can run 10psi on pulp, so e85 should be good! ill stop worrying. (which to be fair, scotty has told me to do about 50 thousand times)

alright. to seek out a boost controler!

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
