Sounds like you wish you guys had brought a GTR now?

:dry: Not after seeing everyone we know that has one, never EVER be able to drive it. I was merely pointing out the stupidity in your thoughts on a 'GTR never getting sideways' :P

Just out of interest how much did.....have you spent on the rebuid?

The original goal was 250rwkw for under 10K. That was successful. Next instalment was new engine, and upwards of 270/280rwkw for under 15K. And it looks as thought it's gonna happen :D

*sigh* Friday afternoon... what to do, what to do...

hey daz, did u get your car fixed up?

yeah its back on the road now, did all the crossmember and stuff my self, just had to pay $100 to get the mechanic across the raod from work to come put it back together bcoz i was almost done at 4pm on a sunday and the engine mount was broken, so i coudlnt get one till themonday and i had to get it outta work on the monday so i got him to do it while i was actually working. but its all good now, just sorting out a few suspension things atm, i need new shocks, they are rooted, but they been like that for a while.

anyway i found a party at a mates house im going to, havent seen em in like 1 year so im gonna catch up, theyre old school buds. :)

dont u mean new engine for the 32? :)

well the adapter plate now only lines up with 4 out of ~10 holes in the sump. so now i'm gonna make my own adapter plate up and that way i know it'll be right! so it's gonna be a busy weekend, back and forth into work so i can get a CAD file made up to give to a laser cutting place on monday.

do you know of any gtr's that have their sump off or anyone that has a gtr sump sitting around? i want to see if the plate fits on another sump

Yes i suppose it was a pretty stupid statement.

And that isnt really what i want to hear about people not being able to drive them! Why is that?

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
