Nulon is supposed to be good for the price. But I'm undecided at the moment. I've used Castrol Edge before, but didn't really like it. Hard to explain but the car just felt nicer when I went back to Motul

Got 5000km before I need to service it again, with work and the amount I drive that will probably be near 6 months away lol. Plenty of time to decide what I want to use

If anyone has a complete RB25 head that they want to offload for cheap let me know also

The car ran a PB on 9.58 @ 144mph with a 60ft of 1.4sec which i am pretty happy with. Willowbank will be the proving ground of its true potential. 0.5sec is what i am guess-ta-mating we will gain on track condition with the same 800hp tune at the moment which gives us a 9.0sec and Mark thinks that with a healthy tune on 36psi should get us the 8.7 - 8.8sec which will give us the record we have set out to achieve. Fastest Street Tyre H-Pattern GTR, but baby steps first as long as the car goes faster every time we drive it is always an achievement which is what it has been doing which at the end of the day is all we want.

The car is impressing us every time we run, we do very minimal changes and gain huge results which gives us massive satisfaction. The car is still full bodied all steel panels still only carbon bonnet at the moment and we have heaps of things to lighten the car up but at this point in time are just not needed, like carbon doors, carbon boot, remove intercooler, carbon brake rotors, Weld drag rims, Lexan windows, exhaust removal, interior strip etc. Which would gives us an easy 100KG + lighter.

The car also had its first major component failure, but was to be expected as it cops the brute force and shock load and has done over 40 odd drag launches and numerous dyno runs, and if you have ever owned a GTR the clutch does not last very long if you keep doing hard 4wd Launches. The engine and gearbox was removed yesterday and the clutch was sent straight to Doug at NPC to get overhauled and modified even stronger to full drag specification. While the engine is out we will check everything to make sure it is 110% before it heads of to Jambo. Bring it on I say :woot:.

Ben, that just means he didn't launch it hard enough :P

I just want a rough daily that goes fast, and looks ok, and has most of the annoying mods done. Not sure if I like red though.

What do you guys think of this? http://www.ebay.com....9#ht_500wt_1414

Trying to find something that isn't full of kebab wrappers if you know what I mean.

That's nice, i like that red Jono.

Nice work ben, just out of curiosity who would be best to see about gearbox issues? i am quite sure i have a worn 5th synchro.

Also i need to get my pads re machined, who would be best to see for that? heard good things about Borgs brakes and front end but never got anything done with them.

thanks

I do all my own gearbox work man so i cant really recommend anyone.

Do you mean your rotors need machining?

Have you looked how much new ones are? I got DBA rotors for mine for a bit over $400 for all 4. AFM pads are pretty good as well

Had a bit of a look around yeah, mine have plenty of life left so i just wanted to get the faces machined because they are a little lumpy and you can see lines on the face.

Just like to thank Jono again for hooking me up with Leon, took my V35 to him today to get my comp rod bushes replaced and he did a great job. So good to not hear that horrible clunking noise anymore after putting up with it for 5 months, that's how long it takes to find someone in Mackay!

i'd love to do my mown work just sucks that i dont have a shed or the gear to do most of the work, plus little knowledge is a factor haha. I'm not sure what i'd like to do maybe, forge the engine, get a new ecu and fuel management, larger turbo. i'd probably be happy with that haha.

I don't think there's any businesses in town that have the equipment to do a good tune but there's blokes with awesome setups in their home garage.. eg Leon. Has a hoist and everything and very knowledgable

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
