slo_sprint's new daily

by **slo_sprint** » January 25th, 2009, 12:05 pm

Makes sense, thanks man will give it a go. Couldn't make it much worse than it is now, although flamage is pretty farken sick

So for anyone whos interested,

I've decided i cbf selling this thing, its worth fark all and its hella fun so i might aswell just drive it.

So with that in mind i got bored and rigged up my nitrous kit on it and i love it nitrous is the shiz. It has done a best of 13.0 @ 112mph with plenty more to go considering i'm hitting speed limiter (112mph) before the line.

However the last few weeks have taken their toll on it the headgasket is now pissing out coolant into the cyls and down the block (was possibly leaking into the cyls before the nitrous, dunno and don't care?) and im not sure how healty the turbo is since its getting up to about 16psi on nitrous it seems to make some funny noises on boost.

At any rate i don't care, i'm on a 6 month holiday from driving atm so stay tuned

by **XH5LWEPN** » May 9th, 2009, 8:04 pm

Haha, nitrous, nice :grin:

112mph definately shows way more in that ET.

So when's the skyline working bee?

So you've ended up with a broken RB instead of a broken windsor? :scratch:

Put a BF motor in it.

Or a 2J.

by **67rce** » May 13th, 2009, 12:45 am

13.05 on a fucked headgasket..... if only a windsor could acheive that...........

I'm sure there are many windsors that have coasted through for an 11.00 or better, with the block in more than one piece...

i had a mate used to have a windsor (carby though not injected) in an xe it ran a 10.4 after throwing a rod out the side mind you it used to run mid 9's and rev to 9400 rpm
and there is a supercharged eb 5.0l here in mildura would do it even with his traction problems and the 5spd lol

Skid video. Do it.

by **juiceman** » August 2nd, 2009, 7:00 pm

I lost my shit when the head came off, funniest thing I've seen in a while. Would've been a better day if I didnt end up with stitches in my hand hahaha. But bush bashing the NX was by far the gayest thing ever (I do want to see the video of that though hahaha)

Hahah stupid NX. Yeah a leg of the engine crane folded down on my hand and split it open so Mr. no license had to drive me to the hospital in the NX haha. Kieren was walking aroumd the hospital smelling of burnt oil and still with no shoes on, and it looked like he'd mopped up the g/box oil with his dreadlocks. It was hilarious. Apparently people in the waiting room would sit down near him, then get up and move somewhere else hahaha.

by **Rollin** » August 3rd, 2009, 11:39 pm

That engine is still good for ages - quick hone and put it all back together no worries

by **slo_sprint** » August 4th, 2009, 8:47 pm

Thanks Malakai, mucho appreciato!

So much for a daily eh?, after nearly a year of absolute thrashing shes finally given up.

I'm not gonna blame it on nitrous but yeah it probably didn't help, since i bought it its been through 10+ pairs of rear tyres, 20+ quarter mile passes, i've lost count of "street passes" and has had about 7 bottles of gas emptyed into it over a period of a couple of weeks. It ran completely untuned (factory tune) on 13psi and saw 16psi constantly while on the 100 shot so these are probably all contributing factors.

All in all im not fussed and pretty much expected it, gives me the perfect opportunity to go for more HP.

I've got a replacement long motor already and i'll be running a GT35R on an ebay special stainless high mount manifold (at 1/3 the cost of a 6boost manifold i figured it was worth the gamble, if it turns out to be shit i'll get the 6boost one) and a microtech LT12S.

Will definately be running again for when i get my license back, should be fun :grin:

by **NUT347** » August 4th, 2009, 10:07 pm

Hahahahahahaha wicked!!!

by **coz** » August 5th, 2009, 7:13 pm

Its gonna be mint as when ya got it all finished mate!! who would have thought that my old skyrice would come this far haha... i fucken love that car!!

by **slo_sprint** » August 10th, 2009, 8:37 pm

For those that are interested

Replacement motor is in!, Now all thats left is bolt on gear, oil and water lines, changing some cooler piping, re-install the nitrous gear and send it off to get a dump pipe made and a tune!

I'm dying to drive this shitbox again!!!!!

by **NUT347** » August 10th, 2009, 9:47 pm

well done man

what power you aiming for with the stock motor?

by **Malakai** » August 10th, 2009, 9:55 pm

Powercruise?

by **slo_sprint** » August 10th, 2009, 9:58 pm

Enough to make it blow the **** up again???? :rotfl:

I dont really know to be honest at this point id be happy with 400hp+ at the treads but then again i get bored easily.

by **OED666** » August 10th, 2009, 10:13 pm

love the bundy red can sitting in the engine bay.

what are you going to do with your diff? is it still being gayer then aids?

by **Malakai** » August 10th, 2009, 10:20 pm

I have had a look into my crystal ball and managed to get a good look at the dyno sheet for this car once it is running again, I think it accurately represents the likely outcome considering stock RB25 rods and the choice of new turbo. Before the NOS is even activated!

by **slo_sprint** » August 10th, 2009, 10:29 pm

Brett: I'm trying but only time will tell i spose but i would kill to be there in this thing! I see what your getting at with the graph though, I had my doubts about the 35r too...... i'll order a GT47 tomorrow.

Paul: Yeah the diff is still shit, it twin spins in a straight line but show it a corner its pretty hit and miss. Haven't given it alot of thought yet to be honest but it'll definately be looked at.

by **Malakai** » August 10th, 2009, 10:35 pm

I'm pretty sure you were supposed to get one with a GT30 rear housing with T2 flange and such. Fark it just see how it goes, I'm just hatin'.

by **slo_sprint** » August 10th, 2009, 10:44 pm

You caynte hayte you dun know me!!!!!!

Nah the 35r will be a good pump, the thing isn't daily driven and i'm not that fussed with twisty stuff so as long as i can go fast in a straight line a pull a decent powerskid she'll be apples.

So why didn't you put a supercharged 1UZ in it instead!! Sif the RB25 will last more than 250 meters!!

by **slo_sprint** » August 17th, 2009, 10:41 pm

Yeah but it'll be a fun 250m!!!!! :yahoo:

While i was thinking about what i wanted to do and considering my options i did think about something with a 1UZ and running a hell of alot of gas but in short the 1UZ doesn't come in a car that im a fan of and sif i'd put a toyota motor in a neeeeeesaaaaannnn..........................unless is was a 2J :shock:

by **slo_sprint** » November 15th, 2009, 5:35 pm

Quick update,

Long story short QLD transport has fucked me around again and im not gonna be behind the wheel till april some time which is a little bit shit so the cbf factor pretty much kicked in and i haven't touched this thing much and don't really intend to till the start of the new year.

Since my last update ive installed a greddy knockoff foward facing plenum, top feed injector rail and siemens deka 650cc injectors but i've decided to flog the 35R off and go for something a little bigger in a T4 Frame and journal bearing.

Anyways since i woke up this mornin sober and energetic for a change i decided i might strip the old block for some lolz

One broken compression ring and one amazingly still intact, oil control ring in a bad way, ring lands are completely melted away and replaced with a nice big hole, bit of the skirt melted and the rest scuffed to shit.

Must have gotten a bit hot in that cylinder, i lolled hard.

by **lawler** » November 15th, 2009, 5:59 pm

lol I know how dead rb25 feel I got one too. you should have rb30 bottemendrd it such an easy convertion and the extra 500cc so fun.

but nice projected and will be good to see what power it makes

by **bushman** » November 15th, 2009, 6:48 pm

just skid it on your little concrete patch you pulled the motor out on

by **lawler** » November 15th, 2009, 6:49 pm

but video tap it for us. also sheds are fun to fill up with smoke if you got on you can

by **slo_sprint** » November 15th, 2009, 6:51 pm

LOL people call them weak but it took alot of abuse for me to break this one hahaha, they are a good motor.

Knowing what i know now i woulda done an RB25/30 but at the time i wasn't aware it was so easy and i just grabbed the first decent long motor i could find, hindsight is a bitch eh?

Id like 500hp or so but in reality ill just keep pumping more boost and nitrous into it till i get the times i want or it goes pop :thumbsup:

by **lawler** » November 15th, 2009, 6:59 pm

yeah I know they are strong one of my mates has a 298.9rwkw rb25 s13 and we rape it and it loves it. the only reason my broke was because when it got put in the 31 the standard gearbox, starter and altinator loom got used and the 33 harrnes of that has the knock sensore plugs in it so it deternated on night the guy only put 95 fuel in it and broke a ring and marked the bore

by **Malakai** » November 15th, 2009, 8:42 pm

The rings, the rings, the rings are on fire. We don't need no water let the motherf_cker burn, burn motherf_cker... burn!

by **juiceman** » November 16th, 2009, 6:02 pm

Hahaha funniest shit since that Foresters motor went pop the other night.

by **NUT347** » November 16th, 2009, 6:18 pm
