what would you be doing in Europe / Pomme land?

Look at things and get drunk frequently.

And I haven't covered more parts of the UK and Eastern Europe.

would like to do UK pubs someday. Would also love to visit the Whisky distilleries in Scotland :)

Have done heaps of pubs in London, haven't been to North of England, Ireland/North Ireland, Scotland and Eastern Europe - am planning on hitting them when I go there next.

both mate. I want to make sure Sean has history with the car so tuning info is all there for him. yep, it's going to be a long 1000km as I would only drive it on the weekends.

I done 400ks yesterday, so should take you 1 weekend.

Take the beast up through the hinterland for run in Antz. I know the roads well. I will book in with sean and get him to steal my timing and I will come with you.

Is it good drive thru there?

that would be EPIC mate.

They don't have to be! Emotion + car = money pit

Yep. But we wouldn't own these cars if it wasn't for emotions. We'd spend next to nothing and go buy a Yaris or a Mirage

Good luck with that. You don't have your Skyline because it was a sound economic decision...

The truth if I've ever heard it

True but. .. some decisions are worse than others. All the time you see people keeping their car because they can't bear to sell it and wasting thousands turning it into somthing it ain't. When for not much more money they could have just bought the right car.

True. But logical isnt always best. If i was logical I'd go buy some new small car that will take E10.

Doooooo eeeeeeeet.

They allow passenger rides...

I'll bring this up with the rest of the Exec team. See if we can get something organised.

BTW, when you're shopping for turbo on the GT-V, make sure you get low mount kit not high mount kit. Mate and I discovered that top bit of intake runners hitting the turbo.

I like this one, he's full of useful information :)

Call me skeptical but I massively doubt that Nissan would give the gt-v a low compression version of the 25de. Why would they make a new version of the engine to make it less powerful and less efficient?

GT-V wasn't a new version. It was a limited edition.

Turboing an n/a works well when you run low boost on a turbo capable of flowing lots of air at low pressures. on the n/a block is there provision for oil and water lines for the turbo?

Can't tell you off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure it does, there is a lot of extra bits and pieces that have been capped off. Would need to investigate further in daylight.

    • 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...
