Well the decision was made not to go with another stock NEO as the risk of failure again with the new EFR setup was too high! It was OK belting around the track on 300kw with the old setup but the big

So its been ages with no updates... I have been flat out with work and travelling interstate etc BUT i am back and will be able to get back on top of things once again... That is not to say the car has been getting neglected, in fact far from it ;) Its been booked in back at Road 2 Race for more alignment and also a general look over and also heading back to JEM just for a health check. So many thing happening...

So firstly, the track day run by RTDC on Anzac day was a success... It was a shitty day due to a few reasons but overall i was happy with it... The day started at 1am with a bloody storm and my crazy ass dog skitzing out so there was no sleep through until the 3am alarm we had set... So we had to tie the dog up and baracade them in the back room just so he didn't hurt himself through the storm... Then the fun part, towing the car through the storm in pitch black in the landcruiser with 35s on it in the wet... Lets just say by the time i got to the track i was fkn tired and a bit over it all, to top it off i had the bloody flu lol (wow i am a real sook :woot: )

It was good to finally get to Scrutineering at least, luckily i got number 3 so i just pulled the 1 off the window lol

Anyway, first session out i had no idea what to expect of the car, new rear tyres and completely changed suspension setup... Did the first few laps and thought WOW it was easy to drive... The tyre pressures were way too high so i pulled in and dropped them down using the new pit equipment (Carmen is in charge of all the pit data for me hehe) -

IMG_8326_zpscf4e7970.jpg

We fed the data back to Peter from Road2Race and it was mentioned that the pressures would be fine where we set them but the car needed more camber in the front, as there was nothing we could do about that on the day i just got back in and drove...

On the first session i was caught behind a numpty in a blue Evo that dumped oil all over the racing line and spun right in front of me as his sump plug came out (True story) so after getting the shits with him we had to stay of the racing line and the first session had one flying lap which was a 1.07 something... Was still faster than my old PB but nothing to get excited about.

The second session was a bit better as i had no traffic issues, this was a great run and apart from a couple of big slides over the back of the hill i found the car was quite fun to drive... Keeping in mind i had the boost controller turned OFF all day and was running just the lazy 15psi gate pressure so it was certainly a lot less power than i am used too. After running the car hard for the entire session i came in with a 1.059 which was the new PB for me, i felt there was a lot more in the car but was happy at that stage. I did hear a knock from under the car which threw me off for the last few laps...

Third session out was the final session for me, at that stage in the day i was tired and feeling like shit but also concerned about the knock under the car, it was loud and hard to concentrate with it sounding like shit was going to fall off :P I should have stayed for the last couple of sessions and kept knocking down times but i was pretty happy with where it was at and found the tyres didn't have much more to give either (Front tyres that is, the hankooks on the rear held up fine).

So at the end of the day i was pretty happy with how it all went and decided we would be better loading up and heading home while i was still awake... I noticed that all the quicker cars were running on proper tyres. Semi slicks was something i have wanted to try for quite a while and had been saving for... A couple of messages back and forth to John Boston secured me a set of Hankook Z221 Medium semis to try out, these will fit nicely with the new 34GTR rims i have for the car -

      Tomei Oil Pump on Early R32 RB26 Crank?

      By groovezog · Posted

      Hey, thanks dude. Freedom to do whatever one wants to with their own car and build, but personally I don't want anything that's too precious. If I can't beat on it when I feel inspired, what's the point of having a car like this? And if I break something, it's me who's going to be fixing it myself...

      Admin delete if not allowed please, I just purchased an r32 GTST with a Gtr front bar , grill I assume bonnet? (maybe) I have 2 questions he told me it had an RB25det I’m new to the RB world, and this is the photo I have taken and also I noticed a piece near my suspension broken is this fixable , will update new photos tomorrow once I have lifted her up and removed the LHS wheel I want to know if there is ways around this , I didn’t notice anything as it drove with no knocks on the suspension or weird feeling    the car feels sluggish, and the rpm cluster literally goes to 3.5-4k rpm and when you put your foot down it dances around like the local girl on Canterbury road or Sefton playhouse the car sat for 8 years he said the oil was dropped and re done , I noticed the oil was very clean car starts no problems by all means it’s not a clean car it is a project but doesn’t need much, knowing me I will go overboard the colour is horrible car has 88k kms hardly driven needs a few things but it’ll be fun to build properly    so guys is this an rb20 or rb25 and what is this bracket called? Can it be fixed thanks

      rb26, build year ? check my math

      found this on the forum , suggests I am in the range  ----------------------------- From the segmented (potentially incorrect) information I've found that;  Early R32: RB26000XXXX to RB26002XXXX  Mid R32: RB26003XXXX (V-Spec I RB26-03XXXXX - Reference Classic Register) Late R32: RB26004XXXX (V-Spec II RB26-042XXXX - RB26-045XXXX - Reference Classic Register) Early R33: RB26005XXXX Mid R33: RB26006XXXX (as per the engine in this R32 V-Spec II, which is what I'm concerned about from legitimacy perspective) Late R33:  RB26007XXXX Early R34 (2000+):  RB26008XXXX ----------------------
