The oil is the "Bling"... can't have a K&N filter without the oil!!!

LOL... gearbox... yeah... I have to call about that now actually...

Jeff, Yeah, they are out of the way there. Lynden from RoadRunner Fabrications is doing a bunch of stuff for my car, and that was one of the things. Fits perfectly, and can be made to hold 3.250L of oil, not that I ever want to fill it!!! which is more than is needed in my category.

Cheers,

Dan.

Hey Dan, sorry to sound dumb;

Did u have the 2835 strapped when u had the stock pipework?

Seems like this cars come along way and VERY fast!!!

Hey Dan,

I was the pit exit offical at Symmons Plains on the weekend.

I didn't make it over for a closer look at your car but was very impressed with the tyre smoking torque it had!!

I just found this thread, the silver bare interior pics look sweet!

Good luck with the rest of the series. :(

Thanks Matt,

Yeah I think I might have been the only driver using 3rd and 4th gears on the tight track... that is the MIGHTY torque of the RB engines... lol.

Had a great weekend, just a shame I ended up loosing to James Vahoomis (SP?) after all those re runs... never mind... they'll be in my house on the 24th of September!

Cheers,

Dan.

Duncan,

Hit the wall...

Thanks Jimbo! :) :) ;)

I must say that I have been a little slack with it all the last little while, but that is not to say that we haven't been busy with the car and Drifting!!!

Lots of progress recently at Tassie, and apart from trying to get the bloody car back into NSW we had a great time away.

I did hit the wall during a battle though, not a huge hit, but enough to damage the car. Not enough to retire me though... you'll have to watch SpeedWeek on the 17th if you want to know how the battles finished up!

As for the car we will make a new manifold for it next week, steam pipe and then bolt the new turbo on... look out for the new dyno sheets soon.

We also had some oil pressure issues in Tassie, I'm fairly sure that it was just the sender for the guage that is buggered, but we are checking everything anyway.

Oh, and great news, I have my website up now... not heaps on it yet, and still plenty of work to do to get it up and going, but it is a start, and I'll keep going with it as I get time. so check out www.mackieracing.com for all the latest!

I'll catch you all soon kids,

Dan.

I watched it and saw your little 'off'. ah, not to worry. Fink done pretty well for himself with the ex-d1 200sx. Are you ready and pumped for this weekend?

Not ready yet... but pumped... HELL YEAH!

Oh, and Fink's 200sx was an aussie built car, they didn't have the new car then, they do now, but apparently it won't be debuting this weekend...

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
