I punted a caged Swift in anger. Once used to the horrible seating position it was an amazing little car to drive. Very controllable and responsive chassis.

Those Mines dumps look to be a copy of the Nismo R34 dumps. What diam are they? Great build by the way...AP brakes on a white GTR - AWESOME

Aren't you simply running moire boost so jump in mid range and power kind of expected?

They have wiped their hands of it as they cant afford it either after hosting and busting ass in 2012. Its Ring or no go. Sachsenring etc etc and other German circuits dont have the money or interest to host the round!

Apart from R31 house is there anywhere in Japan you can shop for R31s (or DR30s for that matter) that are not complete garbage that need basically a full restore?

Bernie is a rat! Seriously. When Germany pulls the pin on GP due to Financial concerns, how far behind can be all the other Euro rounds! 18 rounds this year by the looks of it. I am pissed off as I was tossing up between a mid year trip for a few track days and the German GP or trip to Japan....looks liek decision is made for me German manufacturer...god knows how many German drivers, German WDC and looks like no race. But lets keep Korea, China, Sandville etc

loL, its just that when I have driven other peoples cars and I have hated the dead pedal feel they usually tell me they have EBC pads John, I would be interested in driving your car to try the Blues. Some reviews of them on EVOs ad R35s were not favourable...perhaps on a slightly lighter car they may be ok

PFc. for the price you can buy them you can either have two Pfcs or the software to tune one to dump a tune into it. Both cheaper than the local ECU option by the time its installed , tuned and have sensors etc. Well at least thats what I have done

Surely an RB25 at ~250rwkws, which would be rather tractable power at that level could bag an EASY 115mph given an R33-34 weight and a 2.4sec 60ft time? I know I ranged between 112-114mphfor my 13.4-12.9 runs with a 234rwk. Difference was the 2.4 and 2.2 60ft times

Provided the silicon hoses are reinforced, doesnt need to be steel but at least with some fibre core than they will out do and perform rubber hoses. Where they are weak and prone to problems is rough hands can damage them very easily and small cuts and nics seem to easily propogate into splits. So dont use screw drivers to lever clamps on and off. Make sure they dont rub against any sharp edges during install and the hose clamps have rounded sealing edges. When they split early in their life its usually because they were damage by screwdrivers when being installed by Barney Rubble or someone like me Rubber is far more ductile it seems and takes abrasion a lot better

Yeh, stupid wanker ministers trying to get votes of old farts. Do they realise they are hanging themselves saying it costs "oooh sooo much" after they and their lacky fool colleagues have signed the deals !!! Give them time they will lose the GP, close PI, Sandown and Winton and then the place will have nothing but overpriced pubs where you can't even get a schooner for less than $7.00...and punks wearing $130 singlets and American Idol haircuts! Fark Vic shits me at times !

Which twins did Kando the great sprout out? T67s?

What was your 60ft? With worn semi slicks and circuit spec Bilsteins I ran a 12.9 @114mph with a 2.2 60ft with about 234rwkws. I didnt launch the car hard as was worried about std RB20 box. Just ride the clutch and touch the limiter in 1st if you are getting wheelspin and shift smoothly, not snatching or you just rip skids LOL, thats my advice having done all of about 10 qtr mile runs in my life (oh my car weighed 1345kgs with 10L of fuel in it at PI weighbridge)

So how is the build going?

Hey that is at turn 1 at Zandvoort. I love that corner....great for the late, late brakers. One day I will end up in the sand trap Epic 32! What revs do you pin the 3.2L to?

Dont be so quick to judge http://www.skylinesa...ttach_id=261913 The above runs Alcon Mono6 calipers on 365mm rotors with 18x9.5 BBS LM rims. Also as Nick says he runs APs 6 pots on 355mm with no problems with only 9" rims

LOL...edited to my speak

But comapring a freshly built 4cyl 2L with a used std RB20 is probably not going to shed much light on how it will go. Show me the difference between the SS1 and SS1PU and that may shed more light

Food for thought. I still dont think any turbo works well on an RB20 with std manifold. SR20 only has to worry about pumping pulses from 4 cylinders not 6 so not as big a compromise with 500cc of gases fighting down a 4cyl manifold vs 333cc down a 6cyl manifold with regards to the energy that is left to spin a turbine Also people say SR20s pins turbos harder than RB20s so ?!?!!? And your dyno is DD so if use my DD numbers (bigassumption that two different dynos in different states are similar) then it looks more like below. And that is with a track tune that iteself is down ~15rwkws of what it made with more ignition on what you can run with a street tune without having to worry about 100deg water temps and 130 oil temps. Same boost though LOL, its interesting whilst hard to compare merits of turbos from different cars tuned by different people on different dynos. Going on what I have seen on RB20s, hi-flows dont generally give you a good compromise of grunt and response. Often its the response of bigger turbos with marginal improvements in grunt. Silly RB20s are sensitive things when you try to put turbos on std manifolds. If Hypergear can build you a ball bearing GT0SS T3 equiv then thats what I would be doing for the power level you are after. Small turbo and spin the thing hard

I know my car has a manifold but it also has a clunky TD06-20G and comparing my thing at 4,000rpm, 5,000rpm & 6,000rpm it doesnt look that great a turbo. RPM______TD06__Hypergear 4,000______ 135____125 5,000______228____205 6,000______245____225 My numbers are off a Mainline Dyno that people claim read low. I know it read about 15rwkws lower then where my car got tuned. I argue that std manifolds are sh1t even at this power level but everyone in this thread tells me I am wrong. I still belive it but spells out you may as well spend the extra 1K on the manifold and have a 260rwkws setup with better reponse then a hi-flow on the std manifold

I am yet to see any hi-flow turbos work really well on an RB20. Perhaps the Hypergears are different?!?! I have not really seen any results in his thread or on forums. I would not go with a TD05H 20G myself. I run the TD06-20G and they are good for about 260-270 on a std RB20 on 98-100 RON fuel. When I switched to E85 I was able to make 310rwkws with the 20G. I also have a spare TD05H-18G Kando that I had planned to back to back against the 20G. My expectation was it would only lose 15-20rwkws but have far nicer transient response losing some of the "big turbo" feel the 20G gave the RB20. I subsequently spent too much money on holidays and booz and have not been able to trial the other turbos on my RB20 so if you are keen for a Kando TD05H-18G then I have one you can buy without the rear housing. In my mind I always thought they would be an almost 2530 like turbo just with the extra 15-20rwkws that 2530 couldnt quite give

A better example of 3L is the old DAMN Supra by ICE Performance in Melbourne. It ran twin TD06-20G with 8cm housings

LOL, man it was 2002. Pretty sure it was Dyno Dynamics as the thing got around RIc Shaw and CRD back in the day and pretty sure they DD

Brawn isnt going anywhere. Perhaps a bit more support for him but he isnt going anywhere. Another case of F1 media making things up as they are bored in the off season
