  1. I have to add, I've run two(small sample I know) RB26 with stock short nose r32 crank and stock oil pump gears at high power over many years without issue. I do always put on an ATI damper and manage limiter. 650whp - run 9's and has been in my hands for 16 years and counting. 780whp - driven weekly, roll raced etc and been going 4 years and counting. This is no guarantee for you but it is a counter to the RB's smash gears by just looking at them
  2. That seems hell weird ! But I've never played with drive by wire. Love to know a reason ?
  3. Doesn't a nitto pump send you down a new rabbit hole ? The one were you need bigger sump to stop it emptying. Head restrictor to stop head filling up Head drain when it does then a plumb back to sump catch can for when none of the above works ? Not being cheeky, serious question as I am putting on a big sumo soon and have a billet gear set but also desire a bit more oil pressure for my vcam. Was thinking gears + a shim to bump pressure.
  4. Speaking to them over email at the moment, they did suggest the track model might be better for 1000hp which I imagine is covering themselves. Getting a straight answer on which flywheel to use is proving tricky, might be easier to just call them. Any recommendations on a pull to push conversion ? Been looking at ORC and ATS but both state specific to their clutch.
  5. So I have been watching some of the video's peddling these and on paper they look like magic. I have a r34 getrag with a nismo supercoppermix and its amazing to drive, just holds the power but the box is noisy and I would like a little more room power wise. So the claim is with the new dampening design in the Uniclutch I will get "near" factory levels of gearbox noise without the dual mass flywheel. The torque ratings are very high so power seems like no issue, 800ft/lb will be near 1000hp on an rb26. So the only question I have is pedal weight, it will be going from pull to push. I have an injury that means an overly heavy pedal will not be do-able. Any one used one yet ?
  6. G40 - 1150 result Never seen someone work so hard to reduce the power haha
  7. The dump and turbo's changed at the same time. So it went Stock Twin Turbos - aftermarket front pipe but stock dumps, 3.5 inch cat, 3 inch exhaust, one rear cannon muffler. ~310rwhp g35-1050 - 4inch dump / front pipe and the same 3,5 inch cat and same 3 inch exhaust ~300rwhp 3psi and 710rwhp 24psi g35-1050 - Same 4 inch dump/front/cat and then a 4 inch titanium exhaust, 2 mufflers. ~780rwhp 25psi
  8. I have an gearset in my other car, the problem is for the street the 1st gear is terrible. Really really annoyingly long. I have only seen a couple of options in helical + syncro with a street spec 1st gear. I didn't want a sequential for this car. I am glad I did it too, I am hoping with 3.89 it's the ideal setup. I know its only 5% difference but should drop the cruise rpm just enough and stretch each gear a touch without losing all the pickup.
  9. Haha indeed, I am sure if you think about it you can figure out why Then again I have seen some interesting things on the east that suggest you might not have the same hurdles we do. Any idea why my pics stopped working ?
  10. As I enjoy slowly(Years) building a car I have been through a few stages of mods so far and thought I might share my personal thoughts. Happy to share more info / experience if people are interested in any of the mods below. Start point Stock R32 RB26 , stock turbos, 4inch dump, 3 inch exhaust, link ecu, U98, 310rwhp, stock gtr driveline - What a slug, the car rev's nicely and drives nice but by todays standards a very slow car. G35-1050 install + E85 Running 3psi and also 300rwhp (Dyno is stock turbos vs g35 on 3psi). The gate being open so early(almost always haha) makes the low down power even worse. - Was almost the exact same to drive despite the dyno suggesting a massive gap. I guess slow is slow ? 6 speed Getrag install Kept the 4.11 and also put in a nismo twin clutch - This was good but actually a bit of a disappointment, I guess I had been suckered by the motive/ mines videos. - The car had no more response which in hindsight makes sense. What it did , was allow you to be in the correct gear when you need it, specially 2nd out of of corners was much nicer. Overall the car might be slower down the 1/4 due to all the changes required. - I do like the box though and knowing I can drive it hard is what having a car like this is all about. Boost time As soon as the car hit 24 psi on the dyno, making 500awhp on low timing .... POP goes the factory head gasket Head Rebuild with VCAM Usual metal HG, ARP studs and a Step 1 VCAM setup. Car made 700rwhp but was hitting a wall, getting high intake air temps and not responding to changes. - This was immediately magic, the difference in how the engine responded was huge. Power moved down 500rpm - VCAM is a high recommend. ARC intercooler Went baller and bought the top dog trying to find out why the car seemed capped at 700rwhp , given the IAT's seemed the stock gtr cooler could be a problem, plus it was dented. - By all accounts did sweet f**k all - looks really nice and is built REALLY well. 4inch titanium exhaust DIY home made and the next attempt in trying to find the restriction. Made 770rwhp and no more restriction, made 40hp more on the same boost, same timing. Dyno shows a tickle more boost and more timing. - WOW, immediate more low down torque, car improved in response and is now just an animal to drive. What's next : I need a new sump as I get oil pressure drop under high G. So going all out whilst on this mission. Neat 3.89 ratio's going in to drop the rpm slightly whilst cruising at 110 and stretch 1st out(slightly) Also a Quaife front LSD going in. I am also considering going a 4inch stainless as the titanium really sings, a bit much on the longer drives for old man me.
  11. Any links to sample 4 inch mufflers that people have had success with ?
  12. I am using an ignite 5.0 and vcam combo on mine. Post up your map *never mind, just looked through your log, trigger errors for sure.
  13. From what I saw, Adam had replied to your log suggesting you very much have a trigger issue. He will review the config file for you if you are nice to him. The only time i had a trigger issue with link was when i have a poorly set pin on a deutsch plug.
  14. on the link side - you can get help here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/381114149112524/
  15. Arggg my saga continues. The recap, ordered in November, told March, invoiced with April. Month on month delay with new date. Latest being mid August as the eta. Now of course another company is advertising the product, I phone them, they claim a 2 week turnaround. Chasing original company, as mid august is here, no answers on messages or phone.
  16. next update On paper, this would be epic 4 bolt mains better oil drains 90mm + bore thicker deck
  17. ooorrrrrrr -- https://www.rhdjapan.com/ard-low-resistance-high-output-alternator-z31-r31-r32-r33-r34-c34-c35-wc34.html
  18. Yes upgrade, seriously consider buying a drop in one. I bought the adapter bracket and sold it on. Then I see so many ls1 alt failures (yes I know others have had success) Alternator is something i want super reliable, so personally spending on a nice drop in is well worth it
  19. Also having fun waiting on parts from a shop here in Aus(near 9 months now) This was a bit to close to home to be funny
  20. Ignite 5.0 has been the best I have seen and used. Works with standard covers, fits around the VCAM(which I use). Made in Australia too. Wiring is really nice as well. https://www.50ignite.com/nissan-skyline-r32-r33-r34-rb20-rb25-rb26-r35-coil-kit
  21. Ha, you just reminded I also bought the LS1 alt kit, didn't like it, sold it before fitting and bought a direct bolt on alt. Been very happy that i spent the little extra for a true bolt on.
  22. I also removed PRP gear. The prp coil kit was pretty horrible, although to be fair I believe they have revised it all now. Went to ignite 5.0, coil kit is mint and they did me a custom trigger kit for my ati balancer 36-2. No cutting front covers and no sensitive pickup points that need to be thousands perfect. I do still have a PRP oil pump back cover, I am yet to fit to a car, not sure if I should.
  23. Gosh Haltech must hate videos like that. Not much PRP gear either. I enjoyed that, thanks for sharing. The stock ports, wow ! I've seen up to 1000 on stock head but never 1500s. @khezz that rams head in perth yours ?
