Holy shit, what can you possibly buy for $60k?

That's insane. I could replicate that whole car for $60k

If you could make it physically look like for $60K goodluck to ya and I guarantee it wont run 8 sec passes. The amount of time that goes into RnD into this car is ridiculous, labour alone would cost that much if I had to pay a workshop to do build this car.

I've definitely built a few 8 and 9 second cars so I know what's involved. I'm not trying to detract from your build at all....it is truly an awesome specimen....but I can't see where $60k would go on an engine

Doesn't take long when you buy top shelf parts, the limited edition HKS T62R Turbo when it was first released was 7k, but we got it for $6500. Well worth the money but, so many people doubted us if we could run a 8sec pass with the small frame turbo (everybody usually runs those big monstrosities GT42 / GT47's). So far we have done it with a full weight 1500kg car and only running 3/4 of the power available and a H Pattern Manual Gearbox. Turbo is so responsive and the engine has a massive powerband, full boost at 6500rpm and can run the engine out to 11000rpm if need be. 4500rpm to play with makes for an exciting drive, world record will be ours just a matter of getting to willow bank and more practice and playing with the settings. Only got 4 runs at Jambo first time racing at willowbank, first 2 runs were test runs, 3rd run was 8.97sec and 4th run gearbox failed weekend over. 0.02sec of Theo's world record bring on Jambo 2013. .

Ross balancer and valve springs turned up today, I'm collecting quite alot of parts at the moment, only just realised this the other day before I came back out to work lol. Getting hard to find certain things now.

Just waiting on some parts from America now, and mulling over wether or not I should fork out for some 740cc Nismo injectors or just leave the 555cc's for now

For the price of them Cal just buy a set of Xspuirt / Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors they are not that expensive anymore, I'm gonna try get the old 2200cc out of the R32 flow tested and bang them in the SR20 hopefully the are all good save me a few dollars.

I love when cars parts turn up in the mail it's like Xmas lol, I must have a lot a Xmas's then.... nearly every week :)

2200's in the SR? What power are you going to be running :/ lol

I want Nismo's again but I may settle for something else. Get some cash back for my 555's anyway

Do yourself a favour and bin the Nismo injectors. They are such an old design. The car will run so much better on the new Bosch or Siemens injectors

I always thought the nismo's had one of the best spray patterns and were pretty well regarded that's why I went with them

Maybe I will look elsewhere now :)

They are just a Denso injector. Poor latency at idle, poor spray pattern in general (not as bad as some but by today's standards pretty average)

What power will I make, dunno i'm just gonna max the bitch out what ever the turbo will give me :)

Thinking of trading in the Fairlane on this beast I found:

1996 4 door GTS-4

-R33 GTR RB26DETT

-R34 GTR 6 Speed Getrag

-R33 GTR Brembo's

-Series 3 GTR Front end conversion with Xenon Lights

-Plus more

All for bargin price :)

Only thing it doesn't have is the wider rear guards, I can live with that I think, would be fun to have a 4 door and smoke everything and de-badge all the skyline badges off it and just leave the GTR badges on people will think i'm a retard until I put my foot down and leave-em in the dust :)

Time for another skyline I think been so long since I had one, will make a great edition to my Nissan family

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
