Hi all, well most probably wouldn't know me cause I usually lurk in the background and I've barely been on here since selling my 33 a while back. But shortly I'll be behind the wheel of another Nissan!

I pickup my S15 Spec R on Friday - Can't wait!

It's bog stock, but the hunt for parts has already begun, will chuck it on the dyno next week before the mods begin :D

Hopefully be out cruising soon, if Silvia's are welcome of course?

I'd better change that avatar of mine...

how many KW are you hoping for?

IMO - KW is for bragging to your friends. The real test is how the car performs, and whether it meets what you expect of the car. You may have 400rwkw with a turbo that comes on hard later on in the rev range, but if you can't get traction then what's the use.

Its stock cause its on a lease...

She works for QLD Gov so we cant modify it in any way...

However her lease runs out in june 07 so then its time for a FMIC, Turbo, Injectors, Pistons, Rods...

You name it and she has got it on her shopping list...

I have owned 2 skylines in the past... sold my last one 3 months ago.. i was in dillema as to whether i get an S15 R / R33 GTR or a Supra.

i had the best opportunity with the Supra so i took it.

and i must say its an awesome car.

NS.com will give ya a good welcome just like Supraforums.com did.

Any reason you went with the slower Spec R, over the Spec S?

(not having a go at you, just curious?)

Is it because of more luxury/extras?

I don't think the spec R is slower than the spec S...aren't they identical engine wise apart from additional aesthetics on the spec R??

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
