RB26 intake manifold on RB20
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Hcr32typem's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
if you want response you're going to need a twin scroll, twin gate, divided rear housing setup. ITBs don't just magically give you unicorn response, what you do get is a tiny bit better transient response. Also On a RB20 going to a RB26 ITB you're going to actually degrade your mid range torque as well, and the bonus a laggier turbo. -
A little bit yesterday, they seem to be pretty grippy when not even warm and the noise is still much quieter than how the car was before with cooked wheel bearings all round. Has all new wheels bearings, new traction rods, new ball joints, new alignment so yeah - it's pretty quiet. Should be exciting once it's running properly, just spent all of yesterday night working out why the A/C wasn't triggering and when I earthed the input pin going into the ECU the FICD relay kept clicking and why that pin was actually drawing current. Turns out I didn't connect up the A/C thermister and for whatever reason that affects the entire A/C circuit. I was so tempted to just hook up an AVI into the Haltech and use a flick switch to enable the A/C lol Race Car life, needs AC Oh yeah, alignment specs for those wondering Front 7 degrees of caster 1mm toe out each side -2.5 degrees of camber (turned out that way due to height) Rear 5mm extended traction rods 0.5mm toe in each side (didn't go 2mm like before, as I'm hoping the traction rods will stop the ramp) -1.5 degrres of camber

New alignment ✔ New tyres - Nankang AR-1 in 265/35/18 ✔ New rotors - DBA4600 T3 ✔ New pads - Intima Type-D v2.0 ✔ New buckled guard - ? Car does drive nicer and relaxed the caster a bit, had 8.5 degrees before which was a bit too extreme. Has 7 degrees now, and less strain on the LCA bushing. Guard buckled when I was rolling them to get the car to clear the 18x9.5 +20 wheels with 265mm section tyres all round.

Trying to remove my speed cut

You'll be surprised at some tunes I've seen from "big shops" setup incorrectly -
Trying to remove my speed cut
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to StressedPoet654's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
By default the setting is left at 180km/h for both Speed Limit 1 and 2. -
Replacement intercooler without a retune
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Stixbnr32's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Get 100mm since you're spending that money and already aiming over 400kW I used to get really good deals on Plazmaman parts for SAU members but a few dickheads tried to stuff me around so unfortunately unable to help. However if you need parts contact my mates at Yez Racing and they will be happy to help. Just say you're mates with Johnny the guy with the homo looking R33 shit box. -
Gearbox trouble
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Stixbnr32's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Has the gearbox ever been overhauled? Many things could contribute to this, from worn bearings to worn synchros, etc. Something simple, try flushing the box and popping in fresh fluid. If the box is pretty much on it's way out, then potentially use Redline Shookproof to mask up the problem and drive it till the box goes bang. (That's what I'm doing). -
Upgrade costs
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to GDZ34R's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Nah doing it wrong... you need to fit up a Samsonas sequential box, and an ECU such as an Emtron because other ECUs such as Haltech, MoTec, Link, Adaptronic, etc. are believe to be junk by many members here. -
Takata Airbag Recall?
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to deakay's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Then you go remove your airbag because you don't want to die, just to be defected by the cops and fail your inspection LOL... can't win. -
Takata Airbag Recall?
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to deakay's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I don't believe the R33~34 Skylines would be affected by the Takata airbag recalls as they're simply just too old. It appears they affect cars from 2008 onwards. -
Bought so more shit parts for the shit box. Couldn't afford fancy coils so opted in for some genuine Nissan stuff

Waste gate and screamer pipe
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Andrew Le's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Not on twins, you won't. Will be a very expensive exercise to get twin externals on an OEM twin setup. Go single, twin scroll, twin gates, twin screamer when the time comes. -
Is My Skyline Rare?
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to insu's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Put a southern cross sticker on the back, with some rubbish 19/20s on it and white walls.. instant value adder right there! -
RB25DET Neo Swap
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Tyler Elms's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
wow... they're like 12~14k here in Australia. Just move over here, might be cheaper in the long run lol -
Rb26 CAS question/help
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to BoostisBliss's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Ia your CAS wired in backwards? Between different series of looms the pins are all reversed. E.g. R33 GTR is 1 2 3 4 and R34 GTR is 4 3 2 1. -
RB25DET Neo Swap
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Tyler Elms's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
My advice is to sell your car, buy a GT-t You'll save money, time, updating your registration with a new motor, etc. But if you're dead set on doing the conversion then don't forget the boost sensor and popping in a better fuel pump. R34 ECUs are retarded, without it the car runs like shit. Even when on Nistune, without it connected the TP Load Index goes mental, I found out the hard way when I tuned a customer's car. I disabled the boost sensor flags, upped all the voltage limits to avoid it trigger a DTC and guess what? Still went mental. Got in touch with Nistune support and they said it's paramount you connect the sensor regardless of boost or if it is disabled -
R33 GTR Build
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to AntsR33GTR's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Twins in the bin! Loving the build man, btw.. pop in some aftermarket head studs such as ARP2000 to preserve the OEM headgasket. -
Easy Way To Identify Neo Head
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Smity42's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Just skim it, pop on a good head gasket such as a Tomei OR a Nitto one. Avoid Cometic unless you're maching your block too, as they require both surfaces to be dead flat. Whilst you're at it, pop in ARP headstuds too! -
hahah awesome! yeah the GTX2871 (IMHO) seems a bit mismatched, but.... just 2 weeks ago I tuned an older S13 SR20 and it made 270kW with plenty more headroom but being a stock motor with the stock headgasket I didn't want to push it further. I suspected it would have gone 300kW with more boost and timing, but owner said 260kW was what he was aiming for so I gave him 270kW haha. S15 headgaskets are of a better material and with just slightly overtorqued headstuds they seem to hold up the track/street abuse. The problem with the stock head bolts is they are torque to yield and because of the coarse thread don't clamp as well. Gearbox, seen the new Alpha Omega kit? uses a R33 gearbox and no more stupid W pattern! Shifter also sits bang on the middle. With the 3.7 OEM diff, might be a bit tall, but the 3.9 from the Auto S15 is perfect Cams, I would say go Tomei Poncams, keep the torque nice and fat. I did have a S15 with Procams, GTX2867R Gen 2 going on the dyno but sadly his gearbox exploded a week after I street tuned it so we had to delay the dyno - so no results yet lol.
