    Yep, 100% agree, ive only recently got my car back from the workshop so haven’t done a heap of driving but I’ve already noticed the electrical system is better, before with lights on and stereo on I would see a drop in voltage and that was only running one fuel pump. I’m now running three pumps, no issues, no volt drop. Very happy customer here. But I didn’t fit it, I had the workshop fit it.

    Awesome result, what boost are you pushing through it? You’re going to have your hands full when it’s on boost
  4. Old man 32 GTR
    Not sure but doubt it, reason I’m keeping it to 500 is to save the motor, it’s still running standard girdle and main caps which I’ve heard are a weakness in the rb30 and trust me, it’s enough, car is wild on the street. Midrange pull is insane, at low boost. I also asked for it to be tuned for midrange/bottom end response, not top end, Jez told me it would be at the sacrifice of hp up top. So it’s probably a number of things, tune, cams, cam gear position, exhaust? (Could also be a restriction). Turbo will make 600 if we turn it up, but I’d like it all to hold together for a bit. And the poor gearbox wasn’t designed to hold what’s running through it now [emoji848] It drives unbelievably well, pulls hard from idle and builds boost fast considering the size of the turbo. I’m really happy with the result, it’s adequate for the street [emoji16]

    Very happy

    So you’ll be ready for GTR Festival That engine bay looks very neat
  7. Old man 32 GTR
    How are you travelling with the build, can’t be much left now?

    Green line is low boost setting, however due to the small gate, (single 44mm I believe) boost was still creeping to 28psi. The gate opens at 20-21psi. Red line is boost controller holding gate closed to 29 psi. So even though outright power is similar, low boost will have substantial less pull as you can see by the midrange curve

    Car is tuned [emoji16] Made 518.9kw on 29psi with a nice phat midrange. Very happy, hopefully I can pick her up and bring her home soon

    How do you post videos, was on the dyno today, just sorting out a few gremlins, car has made 470 ish kw on 24psi Sounds like an animal on boost, can’t wait to get in the drivers seat
  14. Old man 32 GTR
    Car was started today and Jez started on the tune, made 432kw @ 20psi [emoji16] Now to turn it up!

    Once I get it back will be fitting my LMGT1’s, want to get my brembos powder coated and re fitted, some nismo mats for the interior and I like that Momo, Monte Carlo custom wheel that’s wrapped in alcantara so might order one of those. Also have a genuine nismo strut brace that I’ve had freshly powder coated to fit. Future plans will be quaif diff front and rear and I’d love to get a sequential behind it! But first it will be off to GTR festival!

    Jez has been really good to deal with, would 100% recommend him, trigger kit is in, he replaced timing belt, installed new alternator, new 1650cc injectors, fuel rail and fpr, installed surge tank, speed pro fittings, Teflon braided lines, fast read intake temp sensor, wideband and has gone the extra mile to modify my exhaust for maximum flow by cutting out any sections where the diameter dropped and made it all the same, modified and ceramic coated my dump pipe. Rear diff had a leak so he stripped it down and put new seals and fluid. Moved all the wiring on the turbo side to inside the guard and put a heat shield around the air con lines. Relocated the power steer reservoir and supplies and fitted an oil cooler. Should be tuning it this coming week. But I think I’m going to ask him to install a twin plate clutch, probably go with direct clutch, don’t think the Jim Berry single plate will hold/last with the power it will make. I’ve told Jez to tune it best he can for response and mid range pull, I’ve told him to push it to around 500-530kw so I’m hoping we can reach that with not a huge amount of boost. Turbo is a 68/70. Should be able to reach that target with 30-35psi boost. But I’m Not fussed about numbers, what’s more important is i want it to feel fast on the street so I’m hoping for a really strong midrange.

    Not long now, [emoji16]
  18. Old man 32 GTR
    I haven’t bought yet but I like the sounds of their street clutch, I want the car to drive nice and I don’t intend on limiter launching.
  19. Old man 32 GTR
    Mate I’m in the same boat as you, I called around a few places (in Australia) and my experience is, I found Direct Clutch service in Queensland to be the best to deal with, they took time to talk to me about what I wanted and what I was going to use the car for and then gave me a couple of options on clutch and explained to me the difference between the clutches they recommended. Look them up, you should be able to email them.

    Looking tough, what are your plans for the gearbox? Mines been upgraded to series 3 components but that’s still not strong enough for 500rwkw so it’s all up in the air right now, I want to go a ppg gearset and billet flex plate but all up that’s around 12k. I’m planing on giving the box a freshen up and putting a twin plate clutch but that’s just temporary.
  21. Old man 32 GTR
    How much for these pieces? Thanks
  22. Old man 32 GTR
    [quote post looks like yours in coming along well. have you run a number yet? No not yet, the car is up at DVS Automotive right now getting finished off, I’ve also changed a few things, now going to run a trigger kit from platinum and a surge tank with in tank pumps as opposed to the external 044’s I was going to run. Should have it back in about two weeks And I’m sure the spending will continue ?
  23. Old man 32 GTR
    Thanks, I’ll let him know
  24. Old man 32 GTR
    How’s your build coming along, will you be ready for GTR festival?

    I got the LS alternator from the member here who getting the brackets done. Rat32r is his user name.
