It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

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)

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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
