From memory I think it is bigger than R32 ha ha I remember the pistons being bigger than my head and each cylinder has the same capacity as an RB26!

Lets just put a wheel on each corner of the block and sit in the valley between the heads, would be funny to see an engine with wheels do a 10 second pass crossing the line at 3200 rpm

My Dad used to build/maintain diesel trains years ago. He reckons you could crawl through the bores.

The ones he used to work on were the long-distance haulage ones, and had (from memory) twin turbo, supercharged 200 litre V12 or V16 diesels, making around 5000hp and something ridiculous like 30,000Nm. These days they're measured in MW (1000kW = 1 MW) lol... took 10 minutes to start because the flywheel weighed 11ty billion tons, idled at 50 rpm and redlined at 900rpm or something.

haha well last weekend I made my own timing cover bolts I will bring one along for peeps to have a look at, so not far off shane better hurry up :domokun:

y did u need custom ones? was it caus u couldnt find shiny ones?

all i did was buy new bolts, and take them to a metal coating place and got them dipped!

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
