yeah its been around a bit lately....we've been choosing bricks. not sure what power it puts out, we don't want to break any dynos. we'll probably take a chance and put it on the dyno at show n shine anyway

930cc of nissan 80's powah! + a supercharger + a turbocharger they had some seriously whacked out people working in engineering at nissan in the late 80s.

and before you ask....I just got yours too mitch!

yep got your's too mate!

hahah I thought I wasn't trying that hard at Phillip Island the other day....2 wheels says otherwise

sure did, got it the other day.

if you are going to remember anything....remember there is a brass spigot bearing to put into the rear of the crank for a manual! the box itself is easy the clutch line is easy if you use a straight braided one the pedal and boost assembly is the PITA good luck!

btw morning or arvo? in the morning it was a missfiring POS. in the arvo it was a giant killing race machine. mostly because it got new spark plug leads today. it was so embarressing driving round in a car that sounded like a wrx

f**k you it is the toughest car on the streets

this thread got so far off topic I don't know where to start. kujotk you need to think before posting. quicky you need to thing before reacting....his post may have been silly but yours is a threat. don't go and get yourself banned. this thread is of no use to anyone and has been moved.

Hey Chubbeh - any trick/problem in getting the aasa passbook? I just discovered today I need one for next weekend for Mt Buller

yeah that ramp rate is about right for r32 n1 turbos, I make full boost around 4500. You are not running enough boost though only 7psi. even standard is 12psi and the turbs are fine up to say 20psi. and what is with hp? haven't queensland gone metric yet? I thought all of australia except WA had moved off the imperial system

lol im seasick from the sideways foot cam! still, good quality video

good to hear - have any trouble with the specific sport sedan regs?

well you guys have a way to make a magic 30kw down there that the rest of the world doesn't then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree that a standard gtr can't make 250...

just checked it then, came through fine? maybe check the number and give it another go?

btw ended up grabbing one from race and rally. 1.5t, well made, slow to raise,nice long handle. not too pricey about 250

it is. and its a hge pita now it is missifiring. need to pull the plugs just to find out what they are, I searched www.marchsuperturboaustralia.com but would not find the type

it is fairly straightforward to get rid of the factory cooler and bolt a oil filter relocator directly to the block. a lot cheaper when nissan want that sort of money for the factory bit.

Yeah pretty sure you are meant to stamp the original number + R when you put a brand new block in a car. brand newies come with no engine number at all.

got a (hand-written) letter back from the RSPCA.... "Dear Duncan and Members of Skylines Australia NSW, Thank you so much for your kind and generous donation of funds raised at your recent event. This will help us improve welfore for all creatures, great and small. Thank you for your support. Kind Regards, Donna Beasley RSPCA Australia"

yeah good point re pressures - I always run them high when under heavy loads. check the rating on the actual tyres first but generally 35ish on the car and 35-40 on the trailer. btw also make 100% sure you haev a spare for the trailer, and it is in useable condition. and that you have a wheelbrace and jack that can change the tyre (often the jack won't go high enough). I've been very careful with this the day I had to drive a car trailer home on 3 wheels

as the 80s band said....wet wet wet! but lets remember that they changed the motor at least every weekend

not really...it just proves you should not drive faster than your ability on the street lots of people using chinese arms on their cars, as stated above the main issue is the cheap rod ends flog out pretty quick and you end up with a noisey clunky rear end that moves around randomly. still you could buy 5 sets of just jap arms before it became more expensive than cusco or similar

well I think 200-220 is about right for a standard gtr with standard turbs. ash's example had aftermarket turbos is it is not relevent to the discussion. a little bit of realism is a good idea, everyone reading this thread will think every stock gtr makes 250kw when 99% of them make 20% less than that. and the 1% that are making 250 are either bullshit, not standard ecus, not standard boost or not standard turbos.
