Wow, mad score!

What manifold you using? From one of the pics it looks like schedule 10 stainless rather than steam pipe

This manifold was an eBay purchase, I am not a expert on metals but the quality is there for what I paid. The more current picture of the setup today would be the pic of the turbo fitted with the bellmouth intake, just for a little fun :)

great job with what you started with was good to meet you last weekend ( i had the rb25 sil80) , car looked quick on the straight.

so you going to take the sub out for the next round?

Cheers robbo, yes plan on removing the sub that will be about all

So update on this over my weekend I decided to adjust the timing belt tension as at low RPM I would have a slight whine to it. After removing the top cover I noticed the belt was worn quite badly and the blue that was on the Gates Racing belt had come off and stuck onto the idle bearings. I will attached some images up later this week.

Having so much drama getting the right water pump though! Got a Dayco 100k belt kit with pump and there is one 6mm bolt hole that is in the wrong spot. Back to the auto store today to clear up this issue.

Like I said pics of old parts coming,

Cheers,

Quick update.

100,000km service done, new timing belt, water pump and correct tension on the belt makes for one happy little RB25 engine.

Will try for early next wee to get some camber going

Finally got some better pics of the first track day

I've purchased a GoPro Hero4 - So next round will have some indoor and outdoor video! Quite a novice at this GoPro stuff, still learning ! Bring on some youtube tutorials on how to use this thing!

Enjoy!

Round two at the Sun City Raceway was held on Saturday the 14th of May. Lets just say I am in need of some decent semi slick tyres.

Not going the crazy wide option as this is still my daily driven car, and the body work is now perfect, so the last thing I want to do is go rolling wheel arches.

I have a second hand set of G-Max Boston rims that can hold a 245 45 17 tyre, so going to be shopping around, so far St George Tyres look like one of the main suppliers for tread

Will keep this more alive once I get some rubber prices, and ideas

Cheers Guys!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
