PS i live in NSW

1---Ram pod ---sealed at the pointy end K&N apparantley this is ok for engineering as it has stoped the direct flame path???

2---bigger turbo---

3---custom ex manifold high mount--- fully heat wrapped is this ok??

4---front mount---

5---blow off --- not plumbed back will be removed for engineering and a plate bolted on instead

6---custom dump--- heat wraped

7--- 3inch ex--- hope fully passes DB check

8---rb20det install--- bigger type M r32 4 pot callipers

9--- nissan patroll brake master---

Different engineers will say different things depending on who you talk to. For example I have heard some engineers refuse to sign off on high mount turbos, others are quite happy too.

You need to contact one of the RTA approved engineers and ask them. Would save you time too.

point taken and i know i just dont want to have to pay this guy twice you know what i mean

id rather have it all dine before i get it done and save some money

but anyway i think i have it covered on all fronts as far as common sense goes im sure that most of the engineering side is common sense safety procautions

but anyway have since last night drppoed a coil pack so its ****ed have 6 more express bagged to my door this arvo so should be here tomorrow

so now its just a waiting game

going to get the car weighed at the weigh bridge for blueslip noise and EPA test next week so ill keep the everyone posted on how it all goes kinda like a diary so everyone knows what needs to be done and ill try and get some more info on other mods as well

so stay tuned for more ill keep posting

    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
    • Yes, ther are plenty of [racist statement alert] terrifying 50+ yr old ladies of a certain ethnic origin who have no demerits yet still manage to park their cars on top of roundabouts, hanging out of multistory car parking structures and other wild shenanigans. Somehow they puddle through years of driving without ever attracting the attention of the cops, yet the whole time, they are an instant away from doing something spectactularly stupid.
