hey all,

just wondering can any1 comfirm info on warnys car thats up for sale?

Td06 with forgies for 23k...

who was the previous owner?

what shop did the work?

and hows it been kept from what you sau guys know?

keen on buying it

cheers guys.

fitted the TD-06 beginning of the year after selling the gt350 turbo it had before(check my trade record)

Td-06 was rebuilt by grant with better internals (low mount for sleeper effect)

Tial wastegate was chosen cos trust gates too big and i hate the name turbosmart (no offense)

has been well kept and most workshops will know it if you drove there.

Glen(hyperdrive) was the tuner (when i fiddled with the settings ;)

it was one of the first WA cars with forgies (GTRKEN calls it the $3000 piston car lol)and has had forged internals all its life.

car came in 1999 with 8000ks and sat between a maserati and lexus as a weekend toy/autosalon showcar .- its a late 1997 build so this is not fake.

friend left and sold to another bloke who also left country.

car was sitting in backyard when I heard it was for sale from evolution R

Evolution R did all the checks and bargaining and we had it from 40,000km+

changed a LOT of stuff on it that i didnt like( u will notice the number of stereo installs it has had e.t.c).

removed a little stuff before selling ;)

kept in contact with new owner for further assistance but havent heard from him lately (sup danny)

Only major drama was clutch problems=plates that need replacing cos we rode the clutch/drag combat (fabian) spigot bush/warping plates etc (replaced by imports 101 twice)

has a brand new clutch according to workshop i visited that worked on it recently(supertec)

most major skyline dramas like power steering pump rebuilds have been done(perth gearbox & clutch)

umm the list of stuff is pretty accurate except for a few gliches like the blowoff is a apexi twin chamber and the intercooler is the oldskool big end tank trust cooler (unless changed after sale)

everything else is there for sure (u can hear the tomei pump buzzing........LOL)

ITS ONE MEAN CAR. (no ABS)

hope that helps.

Evolution R will have most of the reciepts (maybe) but the rebuild was 12k and total of other stuff was 47k(when japanese parts were ridiculously priced). but these have changed, eg it used to have wise sports 19 inch wheels but now has 5zigens and thats the third exhaust (went from twin to single and back to twin).

had sparco bucket seats before and r33 gtr brembos (sold em cos needed spacers). do luck suspension braces (taken off). CDT audio speakers(replaced) and has had four interior retrims(trimcare) etc so u may not see where all the money has been spent

Mao at evolution r will confirm all this if he can be bothered to do so (u will have to pester him)

did not get it from rob 77 steve. surprised it is sick because the rebuild reciepts/wastegate custom job is less than a year old and been running 0.9 bar, but u would know better. As far as im concerned the turbo was perfect (talk to Grant hes the turbo expert and will show $$ worth of work). and the frontpipe was custom made by andre(xspeed)

I know he didnt buy it from Rob but its the turbo that was on that car in the past but was replaced by Full throttle for Jeff Issac.I think its getting a new Turbo 2morro.

when u talk about 'he' who do u mean? im a lil confused cos ............. AH WELL!!! heres where THAT turbo came from WHEN I fitted it.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...493&hl=kidd

sat in evolution R for a while, car getting other attention

after that needed FULL rebuild(peace of mind). 'minimal' shaft play just didnt cut it :)

Grant guaranteed it was 'better than new"

fitted with adaptor and new front pipe :)

internal gate didnt work(I was warned) :D

thought it was avc-r (it wasnt)

TIAL external gate custom fitted :)

frontpipe custom made :)

few issues solved (custom metal gaskets-manifold inspected for leaks etc)

started missing old turbo(car was off road for total 6wks flat & in and out 3 weeks)

rest is history :)

moral of story= its cheaper to buy a new turbo kit (trust me)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
