    I get excited by na pulsars, what can i say ?

    What times did you get at the strip tim?

    I did a best of a 14.17 on this occasion. 

    I believe a high 13 would be possible, taking into consideration:

    - hot day

    - fresh setup and not alot of opportunities to practice launching 

    - not really setup for the drags

    - a better driver, being fresh, I was pussy footing the launch a tad.

    Good.

    Goal of what? 160-180? Still a lot for a 4cyl NA. Or are you adding a spooly boi. 

    Goal of 150 - 160ish on Benchmark Solutions dyno I think would be somewhat realistic. Depending on a few factors, final compression ratio will dictate fuel I'll be running. Ultimately I'd prefer 98 for simplicity, however I'm not against the corn juice. 

     

    I have alot of mates asking me, egging me on to go turbo, a few things hold me back there. 

    Driveline is #1 these gearboxes are ordinary at best when it comes to turbo torque, there is a couple of bandaid fixes, although nothing I'm that interested in. 

     

    Emissions is #2 I really wanted this to fly under the radar, hence N/A, slightly lowered, understated outside. When I add a FMIC, turbo choo choo's etc it makes it stand out a little more.

     

    N/A screamer #3 it's a passion of mine too. I like the challenge of having no forced induction to rely on to make power, there is nothing quiet like the sound of an N/A car at 8k too.

     

    I recently had a mate drive the N14, before it was tuned. He's all about forced induction. He said to me, this thing doesn't need a turbo man. It's so well balanced in power/weight and also the perfect mix of street/track setup. 

     

    That came from a guy who turbos everything he owns and also before it was tuned, so no big revs.

    Why hurt? It's a 2L NA engine that's how many years old tech wise? 

    I think over 130fwkw is very good given there are still 4 cyls being sold new right now that make less at the flywheel. 

    Plus you know you can also put a small turbo on it later to really wake it up and make an easy 200fwkw, which would be an absolute hoot given the VVL head will mean bugger all lag on a T28 size turbo. 

    Enjoy your hard work.

    I was probably 'hoping' since my crank is only driving the alternator that it would free up another few kw. 

     

    However the thing absolutely hammers. It isn't scary fast, obviously. However the power vs chassis is very well balanced. 

     

    I do have another engine in the pipeline with alot more compression, larger cams, alot of head work etc etc. So we'll see how that progresses. 

     

    I'll enjoy this over the next 9 - 12 months before I finish the other engine ?

    Sounds good, nice linear power. Should surprise a few other NA bois. 

    10 points to me for guessing the range correctly. 

    No points for the person who said 180 something kw lol

    The video does the sound absolutely no justice at all! That intake sound was making my chest vibrate. Was probably the best moment I've had with my cars, seeing it being revved like it should on the dyno and being able to actually hear it only 3m away. 

     

    The way the car drives now, it feels alot more powerful than the 132kw the dyno says... maybe I'm just butthurt from the final figure? ??

     

    A 1/4 mile trap speed should clear up the power figure a little better anyhow ?

    Looking good. 

    Slightly more rear camber? Is that a FWD thing? 

    Engine bay looks mint. 

    Basically it helps the rear end hang on through a corner, prevent the back end over taking the front lol. 

     

    Thanks man!!! 

     

    Update: car is at the tuners now

     

    And a Skyline for all you SAU Junkies 20191202_153734.thumb.jpg.451e0f2a02b6e6b004e48f68ade342a6.jpg

    That is a nice exhaust, along with the rest of the car

    Thank you very much! The outside of the car definitely isn't the best. However that's never been my strong suit either. 

     

    I'm planning to have a small amount of paint and panel done in the new year, although I'm not going all out, as the car will be used, not a trailer queen / garage ornament.

    I've had good success scuffing pads before, same pricess pretty much. 

    How far away is your tuners dyno?

    Yeah it's worked quiet well, spoiler alert... the car is currently driving ?

    I've been slack updating this. 

    Untuned, however AFR's look excellent. Haven't given it a decent rev, obviously, however I'd be happy to cruise on the highway with it. Drives surprisingly well for a map, which isn't even 'SR20 Specific' 

    The dyno is less than 100kms from me.

    I am from Newcastle ?

    Out of all the builds, all the hectic inshallah GT-R builds, this is still my favourite build 

    Hahahah!!! Thanks so much man! That means more than you can imagine actually dude. Especially with all the awesome GTR's on here!!

    Do people still build GT-Rs on here?!

    ? Hmmm. Not sure! Apparently Pulsar > GTR ??

    Engine builder tells me he's selling his SuperGT S15, got a mad offer on it at WTAC. He also tells me he has "begun" my engine, I had told him from the outset no rush as I have no time/space to do swaps n shit right now. 

    Do I want to just acid wash the block and then paint it or acid wash then have it glass blasted? Apparently blasting it makes it look brand new? I just want to be able to see leaks and also not have it look shit after a few heat cycles. 

    Prado going well, in for a roady yesterday, no issues. Serviced recently, low hassle. Took it to bathurst for the race, went well, was a good event. Bought a DR200 to get around the property, wished I'd done it sooner. Serviced it, replaced a weepy gasket, adjusted shit etc, fouled a plug at one point but have since stripped carby and cleaned and repalced spark plug cap and also properly gapped it etc, see how we go. Can't compain though, $700 and 11,800ks on it with new tyres. 

    Got some plans sorted for a shed, going to go with 10x12 and 3.5m wall height, which will give me 4.5 under the apex for my hoist. Wouod ideally like the shed in place after summer so I can start to get serious about putting the engine into the car. I am also doing house renos/fixing/upgrading but that's @Dose Pipe Sutututu's thing, I will try and limit my shit to things with motors and wheels. 

    The question is what car as I keep thinking how good it would be an something newer with an all round better chassis, like an 86, but cannot find good info on swaps into an 86. A mate who races 86s said there is easily enough space for a RB/Z32 box in the tunnel and I've seen SRs put into them with good firewall/rad clearence etc. 

    That would mean building a new car, but wouold mean being able to sell the current one complete. Other choise was finding a track s14/s15 shell with most stuff done as that would be the most financially sensible option.

    I have spent alot of time on dirt bikes. Alot of fun, very under rated. 

     

    Your shed sounds like a wet dream

    MIG, oh and it needs a gun apparently. 

    A mate who welds said its "a pretty good welder". 

    I was going to just do the buy a cylinder from bunnings thing. 

    Mig is pretty good, quiet universal and somewhat easy to use, the hardest thing is setting them up. Most guys just set them up by the sound. 

     

    Yeah perfect. They don't offer the 'trade - n - go gas' at my local Bunnings, so Gasweld/Sydney tools are the go-to for me.

    I want to learn welding, I got as far as being given a welder by my dad.. I am yet ot buy gas bottle or a mask for it lol 

    That's pretty awesome you were gifted a welder dude. 

     

    Is it a mig or tig? Assuming it isn't a stick welder if you need gas. 

     

    Gas is pretty good these days.

     

    I just 'bought' a bottle. So I own one, no rent. Then just pay for the gas when I swap it over.
