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 :P 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.

Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

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.

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?

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.

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.

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...

Try Power Play Imports, they are also big into NISMO gear.

Id look around for another Nismo supplier as PPI de-registered as a business last week :)

UPDATES for the blue beast: Brakes back on, intake all sorted with new top pipe on all in one section this time, extra injector set up has been removed completely from the car and intake welded up. Have removed the EBC and will replacing all the vacuum lines with new ones :D

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

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.

      Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy

      Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.

      Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷

      I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
