Has anyone had experience with rotaries on this forum?

Sti motor in a brumby is another interesting build

yep ive had a heap of experiance, as i have got a rx3 coupe that runs 10.63 @128

definately a cheap way to go.. as i did it with a std import eng UNTOUCHED.. with a single s5 rx7 turbo with a to4 front .. 20psi on c16... very cheap way.. car originally cost less than 15k ground up rebuild, but then i spent more on boxes clutches etcetc & also changing combo to go quicker.

i also used to own a 1977 mazda 323 which cost me 4k including the price of the car, i ran a std s5 rx7 13b std turbo on 9psi it ran 12.2 @ 110mph ... not bad for 4k.

    • Indeed. Mitsuoka always did their magic on various Nissan models, but because the Nouera was going to be in the medium sized sedan class, they decided not to try and modify the 2004 P12 Nissan Primera because it looked too modern combined with the 1940's styling. It would contrast way too much so they went with the more suitable CL7 Accord... 😆
    • It's also funny when an Australian company is boasting how their warehousing is USA/Europe...      
    • Hi People, has anyone come up with a way of getting non-driven wheel speed on a R32 Gts/gtst? from what i've seen the RWD R32 didn't look to come with ABS, if they did i can't find a rwd ABS front knuckle anywhere. is it a case of putting a S14/R33 front knuckle on and then modifying the ASB ring to suit a ECU input frequency limit? or have people managed to get a hall sensor onto the back of the hub and pick up the wheel studs?   i've searched but there isn't anything that I could find.
    • I was thinking about a hoist, the ceiling is very high, but half the garage has a half-height loft for storage and I dont think I'll even be able to jack the X5 up under it as it almost hits me in my 6'5" elevated head when i walk in there. And, yeah nah, maybe if I can convince Bec to let me get another car she'd be open to having as many as we can fit (cough @Duncan) but until that time you better steer clear! 🤣
    • For the sake of cost comparison, I’m currently embarking on putting a new 5 speed into my R33. I imported a new RB25DET gearbox from Japan, which was about AU$3.3k delivered to my door. It was a very slow process (~2 months) and I got extremely lucky with the exchange rate. The twin plate clutch I bought was about AU$1.8k. I've also had to buy all the additional parts required to convert the gearbox from a pull type clutch to a push type clutch. Total cost is about AU$5.5k, so GTSBoy is pretty close to the money.
