Standard torsional harmonics as per every straight 6. Toyota/Yamaha just do a much better job of other aspects of the fundamental engine balance and oil pump drive and harmonic balancer integration and so on than Nissan did. The RB is a bit of a grandfathers axe, having its roots back in the 60s.

As in, the engine builder needs to put the crack pipe down because the weight difference of the pins is 3/5ths of f**k all?

Maybe I should have used italics?

Yes. On my McLaren it's all carbon-carbon.

R32 ECUs have a switch/potentiometer accessible through a small hole in the side of the case that is used to trigger fault code display. How to use it is covered in the workshop manual. You basically have to just turn it all the way one way then all the way back, or something equally simple (and long forgotten, in my case, having replaced the whole thing with an R34 ECU).

Stock 25 Neo turbo. Was same when the previous engine was RB20 with stock turbo. All on stock manifolds. I have drilled the turbine housing(s) just downstream of the inlet flange. No beanie - just all stock heat shields. FWIW, I don't think the presence or absence of insulation on the outside will change the gas temperature to an extent that you could measure in that location anyway. Even if it changed it by 20°C, you see more variation than that just in normal usage anyway. You'd have to back to back it very carefully to be able to tell. If you are planning on measuring DS of the turbo, you will get different temperatures that I get at the inlet. The expansion of the gas across the turbine extracts energy, so you have lower P & T according to how much work is taken out. Plus heat losses off the turbine housing and dump, subject to my thoughts on that above.

Real EGTs will idle a lot lower than when at load. My turbine inlet runs up to ~900°C on a hot pull, below 700°C at idle.

I just have the pop tune. But if you space the pops closely enough together, you get a crackle effect.

Set it on fire. That's a hell of a problem. Set it on fire. Set it on fire.

I originally told him coca-cola. But he wouldn't believe me. It's a shame because I was interested to see the sticky but rust free boot floor.

I don't see any rust. And I've already told you - phosphoric acid.

Typical Daewoo stupidity.

So....there's your answer. But..... normally you do not do it this way. Normally the alarm has its own remote and the alarm has an output when you disarm it that signals the car's locking system to unlock. Not the other way around, like your alarm's instructions seem to indicate. Why not buy a UK suitable alarm and install that?

He told you to get a GTX3076. Your choice then is between a genuine Garret one (which is $$) or a knockoff, which is cheap, and cheerful enough for an old datto. He also told you that choosing the turbo is only one of many decisions you need to make. Fuel system, management, intercooling, gearbox strength, diff, brakes..... all of these things come before the actual power making device (when the car has none of them to start with).

Oh, the farts are still there. They go deep.

Noting that it is illegal to modify a number plate in any way, in all states of Oz. That means no bending the ends, or cutting them down. The only really legal way to do it is to space it out. Sad, but true. Unlikely to something the cops pick on on its own, but on a bad day, it adds to the suck.

Looks as good as any other 30 year old GTR seat.

Leave a photo of you holding a Glock on the driver's seat.

It's a better than even chance that someone has hamfisted it in the past and burnt tracks in the ECU. Open the ECU and look closely (magnifying glass) at whatever tracks you can see that run from the Consult related connector pins. There might be something visible. Of course, there might not. There's pull up resistors and other doohickies involved in those connections that can get trashed without showing much in the way of burn. The Consult related tracks could also conceivably have been damaged in an unrelated incident. It's not unknown for injector or ignition drivers to get destroyed, taking out tracks. It might have been repaired - but only repairing the things needed to make it run the engine. There's a million scenarios like that.

The car actually seems to be in unreasonably good condition. Must have been locked up in storage for a while.

Of course it's Barnaby Joyce. Let's see. Federal MP? Check. Minister of the Department of Infrastructure? Check.

Yes it can, but there are many reasons why you don't want to do that. That is well into expert territory. Twin AFMs, twin O2 sensors, mapped for a different engine size and injector size, etc etc. You'd need to Nistune it to be able to use it, plus deal with all those 2 for 1 problems. As I said, doable, but definitely non-trivial. If you can't find an RB20 ECU, just buy a 2nd hand aftermarket ECU like a Haltech that someone is upgrading from.

Note sure that it matters when better cams are available. Lift is king. https://www.kelfordcams.com/global/camshafts/nissan/rb26dett/182-b-camshaft-set.html https://www.kelfordcams.com/global/camshafts/nissan/rb26dett/182-c-camshaft-set.html

France? Netherlands? Germany? Ireland?

In a very timely sighting, I just spotted a gunmetal R32 GTR cruising along Estuary Drive this afternoon. I nearly lost my shit!
