What company? That looks like lazy courier.

Couriers Please, turns out Sparesbox put the wrong address on the box.

I don't even know how that's even possible? The turbo got sent to thr correct address yet thr turbine goes somewhere else?

Got my manifold back from Hi Octane Racing, they powder coated it for $280. Not a bad price, but felt a bit ripped off when I dropped it off and they were like umm can't give you a price now but it will be about $200 to $300.. like a $100 spread? Anyhow $280 later I have a ceramic coated manifold lol.

Started to trim the studs on the head as advised by Sinco, turns out I only needed to trim only 1 not 2, mini win?

Looking the part now, because Shitbox/Spareshit/karntbox aka Sparesmoron sent my friggen turbine housing elsewhere I decided to test fit this turbo.

Don’t hi-octane do this shit on a daily basis so they should know exactly how much a 6 cylinder manifold will cost

Yeah I know right? Oh wells, it is what it is but the coating is bloody good though so pretty happy about that.

Now to wait for the rear turbine housing to arrive (whenever that happens), then I'll mock up the lines with some left over bits and bobs  and put together shopping list and go to MSCN for a rape lol.

After that, off to the fabricators then hopefully some skids.

And update, Sparesbox only just realised the housing is just sitting at Couriers Please's depot instead of being returned to Sparesbox ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

ETA to activities in Mexico?

2 more weeks at work till my redundancy, then it's R33 time till it's done.

Aiming for the shitbox running in 3 to 4 weeks, will test skid then dyno.

Popped on some studs and trying to determine how to clock the turbo to make sure the oil feed and oil drain clears the manifold.

Looks like I might have to go hard lines, oh wells lol.

Called in "sick" then went to MSCN to get fittings, hard lines for the turbo setup.

Left wondering why I didn't go to work instead lol.20190320_131440.thumb.jpg.04468a53e276eab286919bba1ba799e4.jpg

    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
