  1. Hope the silicone you used is the acid free one made for automotive use... it usualy eats through the paint then rust appears..It also happens when people use silicone to seal a leaky windscreen...
  2. I'm running Perfromance Superlights (that almost weigh 21 pounds each!) in 16x8 with +4 offset an all corners with 225-50x16 tyres with standard suspension and no spacers, just slightly lowered but with lipped front and rear guards and have yet to hear any rubbing while driving so far.. 40 series tyres may be a bit small in profile. 50 series is as close as you can get to original rolling radius.
  3. Best part that made me laugh was when Jay Leno is interveiwing Eric Bana about the Targa Tasmania Rally....
  4. In his description of the video, he says he's having some clutch issues. Don't think it's slowing him down at all!
  5. What doesn't help sometimes is if the previous installer didn't install the locking cotter pins in right; it damages the edges on either side of the flat on the spindle pin making it so much harder to remove! Been through this ordeal only once...no more!
  6. Not sure how hard it is but what about replacing the stock gauge internals with later more accurate gauges? I've seen tacho's modified with VDO internals..not sure with the smaller ones.
  7. I did the same thing you are wanting to do except I used Weber bolt pattern throttle bodies. I just modified the original RB intake manifold and welded on Weber shaped plates that where water-jet cut from 8mm alloy plate. Similar to the previous post about cutting a G-Reddy manifold. They are very close from original. All up cost was around AU$300 but the trickiest part was setting up the throttle linkage. I have a youtube video of it when I had it running. They do make manifolds in Japan; if you can find one, bonus! I think MSD make a system to work with the original RB CAS because there is no spot for a distributor so you will have to make a system to run without one. I just ran 3 coil packs (but with a Wolf V500 to run it all) but MSD unit can run the coils instead of an ECU. Just have to research!
  8. From what I've experienced and heard, welded diffs make the car understeer a lot more so you would have to adjust the rest of the suspension if you prefer oversteer. Parking is real hard, and really abuses the half shafts unless you have a CV mod done. As you know how a differential works, when turning a small radius, the inner wheel travels a smaller distance compared to the outer. So imagine a locked diff; the inner wheel will be rotating the same speed as the outer wheel so say as you are doing a u-turn, you will hear the inner wheel "skipping" as the car is turning..like doing a slow motion burnout with that one tyre. Unless you have a full on race car, I would'nt bother.
  9. Got it running couple days ago...here's a quick youtube video of it running; just need to modify a distributor cap to keep the crud out!
  10. Thanks to Ron and everyone else, I can finally say some success with the V500! Got it started and running roughly but fine. Still with the fuel map from the previous engine but when the exhaust is on, I can do some fine tuning on the road. I caught myself doing something that I think made it worse; not switching off and re-setting the ECU AFTER making changes to sequencing etc..Now with the ignition locked to 10', timing light shows 10' with ref degrees at 60'. All is well untill I get the refreshed L24 with lumpy cam installed and a good dyno tune and then I can post a video and some numbers. Thanks again for putting up with all my drible...hehehe.
  11. Sorry to unearth an old thread, but I'm after the same info. Anyone know of a similar link or wiring diagram? Found a 2 wire sender and need to know how to wire it up. All my manuals are for a single wire.
  12. Just curious if I should check sequencing of the injectors or does it not matter? Currently it's set to; Inj1 PO - 5,3,1,4,0,2 and pulse skip are all 5.
  13. I'm 100% certain that there are a total of 4 wires going to the coil pack. The 3 Black with red/brown/orange and the +12V. I'm just curious why in the software it seems they have configured it for 6 individual coils where there are only 3. If you need me to take any close up pics of anything, let me know. That question "They used the 6 outputs to control 3 coils?" was a question and NOT how they wired it. In the loom there has only been those 4 wires to the coils and never 6. The RB engine was running with the wasted spark coil pack. When I bought the RB engine, somebody else took the original 6 coils off the motor. I'm sure I did reply to that but I think it was in some of the posts that got deleted. I can confirm, this is how the coils are wired up.. A12 Black/Brown wire - channel 1 (coil 6-1) A13 Black/Red wire - channel 2 (coil 2-5) A14 Black/orange wire- channel 3 (coil 4-3) And the +12V to all three coils. I'll post up pics tonight of the setup.
  14. When I had the RB engine installed and running (with 120Kw at the wheels) and then removed it and installed the L24, the only part of the loom that I had to change was to just extend the wires going from the main loom to the coil pack. When the RB was installed, the coil pack was on the firewall and with the L series, it had to be moved near the front. I've checked about a dozen times to make sure I haven't re-arranged the wires but it's fine. Oh and the other mod was the removal of the plug for the CAS. Other than that, it remains the way Wolf (Robbie) wired it up. As for the wiring of the coils it is as follows; A12 Black/Brown wire - channel 1 (coil 6-1) A13 Black/Red wire - channel 2 (coil 2-5) A14 Black/orange wire- channel 3 (coil 4-3) And the +12V to all three coils.
  15. Hmm..sent it a while ago to you Ron...never mind, what I'll do, I'll attach the file but rename it as a pdf file so it can be uploaded (doesn't allow any file type), just make sure you rename it to .ecu. Or keep it if you decide to run a Wolf V500 with a RB25DE with the same coils, it will get you off to a good start. This map is how it was running with the RB, without me playing with any setting as Robbie from Wolf set it up. I can give him a call anyway, or even better go around there to see him personally. He's about 30 mins drive away. Original_RB25DE.pdf
