After fitting new exhaust system and fuel pump and throtal body. Took it back for a retune. Big difference. Made 422 on 18psi boost now. Had a problem with fuel supply. Found out that when I drained the tank for storage. I left a few mm of fuel in the tank. It turned in to a jelly. Had to clean out the tank and fuel system. All is well now.

Hey mate nice car. What clutch master set up are you running and do you have a push type clutch fork?
I'm building an LC with a RB25DET.

I run an aftermarket master cylinder with remote resivor. Mine is pull type. They are stronger than the push type by far.

No. But the resivor is a willowood one. Just bought the master cylinder from Slacks Creek Brake and Clutch. Make sure you get the correct size. Otherwise you will run into problems.

like that idea may need to steal it 
here is how i fixed the brake problem. as use all would of seen i had to off set the booster to clear the inlet manifold. i had to get a second brake booster bracket and join 2 of them together as u can see in the photo. i then had to stop the rod from 1 bracket to the other from twisting when i put my foot on the brake to acheive 1-1 movement from one side to the other.
this was achived by turning up a shaft in a friends lathe and welding it solid on both sides on the original bracket and on 1 piviot arm on the other so if need be i can still remove the booster from the bracket.

Well ever since I started building this car there was a particular engine combo I wanted to run.
Now the car has been on the road for a few years I've been slowly piecing together the engine that I wanted all along.
Not long now just have to get it back in the car then off for a tune.
Stay tuned for more details.

Yeah Barra turbo would be awesome.
Anything done to the RB will be lackluster.

Well the new engine is built and back in the car.
Currently on run in tune.
Making 349rwhp @ 5000rpm limiter on pump and fuel on 16psi boost.
Will be running 23psi with 7500rpm limiter when fully tuned.
Can't wait to see what it makes.
Rb30 25 neo with all the same bolt ons.

Ok.
So after being out of the loop for a few years and not on anyone's radar I'm back.
Car went on the dyno on Monday just gone.
Rolled out a lazy 467rwhp on 17psi with 11 deg of timing at 6300rpm.
Had problems with the cam angle sensor.
Have bought a new billet magnect pickup.
Going back on tomorrow morning.
Will be adding another 7 degrees of timing upping the boost to 22-24 psi and turning it to 7500rpm.
Should see hight 500's might even crack the 600rwhp.
Only time will see what my hard earned research and development will bring.

Well that was interesting.
With wheel spin on the dyno rolled out an impressive 594rwhp on 21.7psi pump98 and only 9deg of timing still made over 600flb of torque.
Left timing out of it because of the torque curve was just blowing the tyre off it on the dyno.
So would be no good on the road.

Well it's finally in for a new paint job. All paid for by Shannon's insurance as it should have been done 2 years ago.
Now for the 6 week wait.
When I get it back will be the decision to keep it or to sell the car.

It will come down to how I feel about the car when I get it back from paint.
