Yes but the whole tough black wheel thing has been done to death. It really has that try hard look to it. People in the car scene are swinging more towards BBS & similar. Besides, those black wheels look soooooo heavy.

One thing we noticed was the side mirrors are just too big. Perhaps something from a different model. I have to wonder what would happen if, god forbid, you were to take the car to an airport runway and try a top speed run. :wacko:

Firstly, the minor things. Installed and programmed E1 HSV dash cluster and HSV flat-bottom steering wheel (soz, no pics of this sintalled yet). The HSV logo on the face is a bit dicky for me, so look

And the car has been back in my posession since last Friday and I am stoked! TOTALLY fallen in love with the car again! Car pulls like a train without any noticeable lag and doesn't hesitate to light

Sorry about triple post. From my end it wasn't going through. I have to think about what would it be like to have an engine like that in a 1400kg street skyline. Keep it quiet, no big cams or anything to give the game away. Even keep the auto box as less weight of the Skyline could make it last a bit longer. Not sure about the size of it fitting in the manual Skyline tunnel though.

Saw this running on the dyno at MPW a while back. Sounds tough.

Thanks mate, that was when it had just had the VCM-5 228/232 cam in it :)

Yeah, the black G8 wheels were heavy as shit! So glad I moved on from them now, as everyone is rolling on G8s now.

I never have nor will plan on taking the car down an airport runway so for the time being, the mirrors will stay haha

Those black wheels must of been made in Africa, because like most things black in Africa they had aids

LMAO!

My engine/transmission combo in a 1400kg skyline would be amazing. Only problem is, you won't be able to pull the 400rwkw figure without the cam unfortunatley, as the standard cam in the L98 isn't the most suited for boosted applications. Don't get me wrong, the stock cam will still do a stellar job, just wouldn't be optimum.

Hey mate lovely cars you have. That r33 sure was sexy. Which front bumper did you have on it? It looks stock but isn't. Really love the looks of it.

Cheers mate. The front bar is an Explosive one:

Great looking car and an awesome list of mods, well done. I have seen this around a while back, remember the plates.

The only thing I have against VE's is the weight, they're a porker so need lots of power to get them moving. I've gone from a 1680kg 293rw V2 Monaro to 1440kg 275rwkw R34 and the Skyline feels quicker, however nothing beats the angry sound of a headworked cammed V8 IMHO. The NA power delivery was sweet, too.

What kind of power figures were you running in the R33?

The ride on the bags are great! It has bags both front and rear and as long as you keep the pressures in them sensible, you couldn't pick them from a coilover setup. Having said that, it all comes down to the quality of the setup you go for also. I didn't get much change from $7k drive-in drive-out on my bag setup but totally worth it.

I've had lowered kings with monroe shocks, coilovers and then finally bags and can confidently say there hasn't been a noticable compromise in handling or comfort.

I haven't attacked any hills of late but with spirited driving through corners, the car feels jsut as predictable as when it was on coilovers.

Thanks mate! Yeah, they're pushing around 1800kg so you can definetly feel the weight. But throw in a windy day and that extra weight is a blessing haha

I was pushing a fraction over 300rwkw on 98, so that was good fun also :) as much as I love the sound of the 33 on gate, I'm totally addicted to the lumpy idle and supercharger whine in the SS-V now haha

Nothing really new, just getting the car out and about to enjoy the weather Melbourne has been experiencing lately. First off, the ECM cruise:

And finally, helping out a mate for his wedding:

Have you taken this thing down the strip?

Not yet mate :( I'm more interested in Powercrusie type of events, but you never know, I might just take it for a blast down the quarter jsut to see what it'll do (with a set of sticky tyres preferbally).

Hahaha, yep that's me! Was over the moon when I found out I was getting featured in Street Commodores. Means my 33 and now the SS-V are magazine cars hahaha

Small-ish update. Considering selling my Harrop supercharger setup for a twin turbo kit instead. Until I get a buyer, probably won't happen.

So fingers crossed someone wants a stealthy supercharger that'll push 400rwkw no worries, so I can get my TT happening! :D

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
