What's Going On With Everyones Cars?

[Finny]

Hi all,

Got my snot box running finally.

I have been playing with the fuel maps on the microtech to get it running ok so I can drive it to launny for Brad Sheriff to tune it.

It seems to be running well, I had to take the intake manifold off twice to weld up some holes car was idling at 2500rpm due to leaks... and this is a Japanese manifold not a Chinese one.

I could listen to my RB30DET idle all day... sounds so insane.

NOS is soon to come, I am looking at a 100HP shot, maybe push it up to 150HP if I am keen enough.

Here is the latest pic of the engine bay.

Also I am loving the 4" intercooler piping butting up against that 115mm(outside diameter) TB. Found out it was 115mm Out Diam when I tried to put a 4" silicon joiner on it and failed.

I am maxing out the KKR560 that is on it so I am looking at getting a custom top mount made up so I can still close my bonnet and going to a KKR720X and 50mm external gate. This will be a few months away though.

EDIT:

I also put 2 bucket seats in and a 5 point harness.

Got some 33 GTR seats for the 32 so i will actually be able to drive it when its running again

[t01-100]

plenty happening to the rx7 with lots coming off and a little going back on... have now got the drivers seat, well the same design anyway, the red seat will go into the evo. also got the hydralic handbrake and removable wheel hub and the engine bay has been reduced to a near bare engine ready for a big refresh.

not much action on the evo front, but have bought coilovers, hydralic handbrake, steering wheel and a spare bonnet and bumper.

[ian_and1]

well got plum back bov fitted, car no longer back fires also fixed my inner guards so the tyres dont rub anymore. fixed the AFM which was also playing up. then got it home and the seal in the water pump goes <_<

[WHITER33GTS-T]

Just pulling the twins off the 33 as my new turbo is here. But now need to wait 3 weeks for a manifold

[SSHatch]

About to spend three or four days cleaning all the damn Jap dirt and grime off of and out of the GTR followed by a trip to the detailers shed at work I think to make it all spick and span again.

Pull the Carrozzeria headunit out and replace it with one that actually has English on its display.

Then have the damage repaired that occurred on its way here from Japan and hopefully by that stage take it to work and register it...

So the new toy is here. How bad is the damage???

Does the Hatch have a new owner yet?

[SSHatch]

So many questions...

You sound more excited than I am!!

Yes its here.

Damage is not bad but will require a full front bar respray. Its the stuff that got stolen that pisses me off.

No the Hatch is still in the driveway behind the GTR but we are still talking with that person you put me onto. He is keen, just busy with work apparently.

First place she went, down to Symmons. Only did a couple of laps in an official role so couldnt really do much.

[WHITER33GTS-T]

What was stolen??? I bought my 4x4 from QLD and that had parts missing when it arrived in hobart

[SSHatch]

The Nismo Strut Brace.

My near perfect condition mats were swapped with some sh!tty old worn out ones.

Thankfully the original owners manuals and full service history and documents detailing the fitting of the Stereo, Exhaust, Turbo Timer, E Tag thingy and Bilstein Suspension are all still in the car.

[guesty]

How much do you have on the Hatch?will be see the GTR in action at the gravel hill climb?

[SSHatch]

ahh no....

The GTR will not be at the gravel hillclimb. Thats just stoopid.

Its far too neat of an example to waste throwing around a gravel road.

It will make a trip or two to Symmons Plains and down the quarter.

Probably the numerous hillclimb's and the Smithton Kart Track Lap Dash events as well.

All depends on the financial situation at the time.

If its like now, wont be doing squat...

Big thanks to Allan & Martin @ TASMANIAN MOBILE MECHANICS for the help with the car and storing it out there

I guess they are taking a different business approach

[R33_Dude]

Well I have been offered an R32 GTR at a price I couldn't refuse. Low k's, I know the current owner and he's no idiot, stock as can be.

Basically its the project car I have been looking for and if it falls through I will finish building my XB GT. I will post up some pics once I pick it up.

So my 33 is up for sale, if it sells it will be a bit sad (considering the amount of effort I have put into getting it back on the road), but so be it.
