So I'm at this stage now all over again.... Turns out the bottom end had been previously over honed and should have had forgies installed the last rebuild.....

and yeah dude im super thankful nothing actually came off completely while driving/dynoing.....could have been devastating!

i used - ARP Flywheel Bolt Set (102-2801) we measured and checked the bolts against the arp website specs and they are exactly what the website said they should be...... which is 3mm too long in my crank. very strange..........

can a small video be uploaded on here? MOV_4094.MOV.mov

Not only did the head crack, but i have had a super bad sounding noise in the clutch/gearbox area recently.......apparently ARP flywheel bolts are actually too long for RB motors ......... the clutch and flywheel where loose on the back of the motor....... the threads in the back of the crank are completely fingered and the center guide is slightly mushroomed.... the flywheel had to be reemed off with two pinch bars therefor a complete rebuild is being undertaken............ Gutted man..........

this may be a problem.................. spewing lol

yes im sorry too haha and so is my wallet............around $5600 ish sorry....

hmmmm well it wouldn't surprise me if the head/block wasn't prepared properly prior to re assembly..........after asking around, i'm not the first person to have had big dramas with nizzpro's services..........

So It turns out there's coolant in cylinder 3........ Anyone ever seen a 'new' metal head gasket fail? Car has not done more than 7k kms since rebuild ....

Anyone ever had one spark plug all rusty on the electrode end while other 5 are fine?

My hks gtrs is rated at 400bhp but it made 407whp (with E85) made 365whp on bp98 on 18psi so if your making 260wkw on 14psi wind boost up a bit and you'll get closer to your goal for sure dude...

I ran a greddy copy with a standard ecu no problems at all... Even had it on the dyno to do a power run before any major power modifications were started and all stats were sweet as far as I could tell. I'm no tuner tho by any means so don't take my words as the be all and end all haha I'm just saying I had no problems running one with standard ecu. My car had a 3 inch exhaust and front mount as well at the time...

Hey man I couldn't get tomei throttle coat from anywhere ....apparently tomei don't supply an MSDS (Meterial Safety Data Sheet) when they ship the product outside of japan so a lot of countries won't let it through customs. There are some substitutes available tho.... I used Loctite Moly Dry Film in an aerosole can, sprayed into the lid to make a small puddle and used a 50c paint brush to coat the butterfly's while closed. On tomei's website it said to only coat the butterfly's and around the shafts/bores where they go through the housings but because the Loctite stuff is aerosole its super thin compared to the tomei paste so like I said, I painted mine while shut to get a good layer on the butterfly and bore so it's got a definite seal when closed. I fully cleaned the throttles with a rag and some carby cleaner befor the coating of course and shone a torch up the plenum and could see light around each throttle. Now coated, you can't see any light from anywhere inside the throttles.

freshened up throttles to go in

The bolt patten is the same but the ports are heaps differant

It is very streetable hey haha still plenty of wheel spin in mid-top end but if driven appropriately it's quite nice and usable....

I wasn't awere of the leaks until I had the e85 tune done and saw that my gtrs seems slower to come on boost then others I had seen so I started investigating which led me to a boost leak test and so I found a ton of leaks and am obviously getting them fixed this week as well as an eboost2, jim berry single and de cat... Hopefully I'll get in for a re tune at the end of the week or early next week... The car has not been driven since I found the leaks hey

Hasn't been back on the dyno since I did the test last week... Those printouts in post 1 are only 3-4 weeks ago anyways man...

First post dude

All good man lol um yeah Matty tested the vct when it was last on the dyno to rule out that being a factor... but yeah it works apparently. it feels faster and comes on harder now on e85 then how it felt before on bp98 eveon tho my dyno said differnatly... but looking at Joeyjoejoe's E85 Tuning Adventutres first dyno result, my boost curve looks quite similar and since he too had major boost leak im hoping my retune looks as good as his re tune/results

I read Joeyjoejoe's E85 Tuning Adventutres and i noticed my dyno printout has very similar characteristics (apart from the spike) to his first dyno as in the way boost comes on slowly peaks and drops off straight away.... obviously he had boost leaks and then fixed them and had a re tune and got epic little gains.... man i hope i get similar gains http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/258776-joeyjoejoes-e85-tuning-adventutres/

Nah man its a little lagy hey....... as i said earlier, tons of boost leaks and some other issues haha soon to be all fixed check it - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/441053-should-my-hks-gt-rs-be-making-boost-earlier-e85/

I know what unopened means 'Bro'....... hahaha i read the title and my head automatically interpreted it as 'standard bottom end' lol anyway whatever haha we all make mistakes

This is true haha i have had my car over the pits twice and you get time to sort your defects and shit for re inspection etc
