yea i was not really refering to the dynos more the weather conditions. water meth makes a great improvement for up here, you can squeze more timing safely with out the worry of pre det, plut extra fuel from methanol. what size rear did you get with that turbo? that's the usual choke point if the size was to small, you would notice a boost leak on your dyno graph depending on how bad it was. and its hard to be happy with out a goal, i guess the way to look at it as $$$$$$$$$$$= how fast do you want to go? then you reach that goal and start all over again cause your use to it and its slow again. i dont know how a top fuel driver could get through in life, imagine him driving his wifes toyota yarris!!!!!!!!!!!!! dear god come on it took like 5 mins to get to 100kmh! ha ha ha. still i must say you have a nice car, i see it all the time around town.

Thanks man.

Yeah I'm getting over the whole thing lol

Had set a target of about 270rwkw or so maybe 280

If it made it there. Was hoping to run e85 one day and just wind down the boost a touch so I was making roughly the same power with less boost. And have an agressive e85 tune to get me to 300rwkw and maybe a touch over even but yeah lol

Pro s is capable of everything I've mentioned, hence the disappointment In ending up with this version lol. Sydney tomorrow so car is the last thing on my mind :)

hay cal i had a look at your dyno chart today not bad at all made good tourqe in the end, a little lower than 260rwkw but still not bad. it will be fun for you at the next test and tune.

im usualy at adrenalin performance, so i had a look while i was there. yea it was not 720nm it was 680 ftlb, its not accurate but that roughly work out to be 920nm! hence not accurate.(it was a bid let down for me to stupid dyno) if you make that much nm wheelstands would be occuring! :thumbsup: its annoying to say at the least but generaly you nm output should be dam close to the flywheel hp of your motor, so 320 atw pluse roughly 20% for other losses = 384fly wheel hp so it should be doing around 390-400nm at flywheel. how come your putting new rims on your car arnt they 18's already?

Haha yeah couldn't remember the exact figure. But that's pretty decent.

Nah I have 19's ATM (buy them off me? There nice :))

Getting 18" Raiden (Lenso) D1R

Snapped a driveshaft not long ago and I'm pretty sure it's from the big wheels with the large rolling circumference. Think they are a bit heavy to, but damn there strong and they suit my car pretty well

yea dont think snapping a half shaft or drive shaft it from 19's you get less grip with the smaller side wall and also under throttle you tyres toe in so less rubber on the ground, if they run gtrs into the nines with stock half shafts and drive shaft pretty sure we would be hard out to break them, i still have stock driveline and never broken it once, but i do take it off every month and check it all. if i was to buy rims they would be 15's or 16's, mickey thompsons are so much cheaper in that sizes pluse less wieght in rim. are you going to this import meet at bj's tommorrow?

Gtrs run thicker half shafts, I've done some research lol.

Cause I thought the same thing, but turns out gtst ones are sligtly smaller but they still shouldn't break

My wheels may just be to heavy. All I know is it does grip lots

.dat file from latest tune? In Sydney right now, not home till Wednesday so I'll try and remember

any one looking for some side feed injectors? i got a set of jec's 550cc just been bech tested and cleaned that im chaning out if anyones interesed. going to 850cc top feeds. hit the limit of those 550's already.

New wheels turned up yesterday :)

My Old ones are for sale now if anyone is interested. Chasing about $1500 (19 x 9.5 rear, 19 x 8.5 fronts)

More details if anyones interested

Heres a pic of them on the car:, photo was taken when I first got the old rims

What made you change your rims Cal i didn't mind the old ones, i just ordered a new set for the R32 today should have them next week, got a set of the Latest AME Tracer TM-02 19x9.5 +22 they are gonna be the show rims waiting for a quote back on some Advan Neova AD08 Tires 275/30R19 can't wait they are gonna be awesome.

Main reason is tyres

I always wanted 18's but im fussy with wheels and after choosing about 3 different wheels that I liked only to find out they didnt come in the right offset in 18" etc then I finally settled on the 19's I just took off.

There a great rim, they look great and they are so tough, but every time something happens and I need to change wheels in a hurry, It costs me $600. I can get cheaper wheels sent up from down south but last 2 times ive had to change tyres its been urgent so had to source them locally. And I end up with Nankangs cause I cant afford anything better (Had a quote from one place for $700 EACH! for Yokohamas) And noone had the 19" tyre size in stock.

The new wheels are really growing on me, but I still think the old ones are a great wheel :)

I dont like those wheels on the black skyline there but should look good on a white 32 :) (Your not painting it a different colour right? haha)

Edited by 89CAL

Yeah i see where your coming from tires are freaking bullshit here in Australia, I've never seen them rims in the flesh before are they the D Project Ones, things always look different in a pic compared to real life. But Yeah not painting them AME wheels going for the panda look on the R32 Black and white is sexy gotta get the Enkei RPF1's powder coated black to match the new rims.

yeah they dont suit the black 34 but should look Good on a white car, How is the drag car going, will have to go check out the thread again, its been a while

The D1R's are quite nice for the price they are, Alot cheaper then the Koya Inox R1's that just came off it..... lol

Yeah the drag cars going ok, just gotta get it painted now then it's all done. Jason from HPI Magazine wants to be the cover car for one of his issues, so we are super happy bout that, can't wait for the finished product.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
