Lol you guys need a fire-cracker under your arse.

Nice work Cal, don't do internal gate they are shit you will end up changing it anyways.

Here's what I've done with my engine finally off the stand and where it belongs, start making my V-mount setup.

The beauty of the Turbo I have is I can go int gate now and then swap it later on when I can afford to change my manifold to a 6boost ext waste gate item. But ill give next gate a go on this one :)

Head is ready now so should be cc-ing the thing tonight :)

Engine looks good ben. Seems a shame to drift it now :P

Hahaha. I think once this motor decides to arrive it will be a different story... But until then... haha.

You're gunna be hatin' it if I get mine back before you LOL.

It was getting the mains tensioned up and ready to start honing it all and I think painting etc today :P block had a bath yesterday.

Nice lookin engine Ben. I like your attention to detail

C-man - do you want a GT4508 to put on that thing instead?

lol was that a serious question......? That sounds a little to big

f**king ERD page keeps opening again can't edit post or quote.. stupid computer.

Redline MT-90 75W-90 GL-4 Gear Oil One Gallon (4 Quarts = 3.784L)

Tried this? :

Lol Daniel i can't work out why i keeps opening the ERD page, i thought you'd gone to new advertising extremes and played around with the shortcut buttons or something hahaha.

Cal-

Gay work computer, will check it out at home.

Well, I haven't tried it yet but I can see if I can get that one to point to me too

Sean was looking for gearbox oils, just wanted to re-quote some forum annoyance :)

51cc in the combustion chamber of the head sound about right to you? Just went and did a quick cc of the head with valves and spark plug in and got that

Sweet thanks Cal, on the other site i found it $113 or something delivered so that's about right.

Hahaha Daniel i tried quoting you again i'm just not going to bother pressing any buttons on these pages anymore apart from "post" as it seems to be the only one the works for me..

Stocker was 54 I thought?

Its had a light skim, but I may have just been lazy and not tried for an extra few cc's

either way its about where it should be. Will re-do it later and working out the comp ratio when I'm keen to do some maths. Just gotta sit down and have a think about it

right now its to hot for that $hit :D

Also if anyone is after an Apexi Power FC for an R33 I have mine for sale now that the new one is up and running.

from anyone here I will take $1000 for it

Came out of the car yesturday, working fine, the only reason I went with a new one is that this one has quite an old version of the Power FC software on it and is a bit slow when tuning, plus I got a good deal on a new one :) its 100% working and has never frozen or stuffed up in anyway that I can recall. Comes with Hand Controller and has the tune from my car still on it at the moment but can be reset to base map with the controller.

Only bad thing about it is a few scratches on the ECU itself, but you dont see it behind the kick panel and it has no effect on anything inside :)

PM me if you are interested or know anyone that is

Don't worry about comp ratio.

If it's 9.5:1, don't run more than about 30psi

9:1 - 40psi

8.5:1 - 45psi

8:1 - 50psi

7.5:1 - 60-70psi

Easy :D

Lol im not worried about it, just curious as to where it has ended up

I know I have more then 8.5:1 and maybe slightly less then 9:1, so its in an area I'll be happy :)

just one of those things I want to know

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
