Hi peeps,

Though I'd just say hello,

I just bought my dream car, an R32 GTR and obviously am super happy. The engine is about a week from being finished with forged pistons, new Turbo's etc etc etc.

Just sent off my SUA QLD application form and am looking forward to plenty of fun experiences with you guys (and gals)

Bye for now........

Cheers

Tom Mac

They say you should NEVER photograph cars on grass.

Not sure about that, but I am sure I would like to own your great lookin GTR line! :D

AND you probably paid less for it than I did buying my GTS4! (8 Years ago;-)

The work is getting done at ASR Motorsport on the Gold Coast where I live. He's a guru ( and a freind ) who guarantees his engines. He's built plenty of RB26's that are solid.

I only paid $14000 for it which was a steal considering I nearly bought the first one I saw 3 months ago for $23000 with 170,000Km's.

When I bought it I knew it had a knock and needed a rebuild but I think the price reflected that.

News to date, the block now has a crack in it and my engineer won't gaurantee the motor unless I get another block so I've been desperatly trying to find an RB26 Block with Gurdle but I'm struggling. I searched thru the forums but am waiting on replies to my PM's.

Wish me luck....

Cheers

Tom Mac

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
