Ye, this is motor performance section.

The track racers generally dont get past this section a lot, and FI is so active topics drop off pages fast. Just the nature of the section.

Those who play with diffs and what not as in the Motorsport/Drivetrain areas :P

I my humble opinion the t517z 8.0cm are too small for a stroker. I would go hks2530's. They will come on boost around 3000rpm with a stroker. The mines gtr use them and it is one of the fastest in the world around a track that is still a street trim car. You could even go the hks gtrs. I know a r33 gtr that has a 2.8 tomei stroker and gtrs' and comes on boost about 3300rpm and makes 400rwkw. Note your gearbox can become fragile at over 350rwkw if you give it a hard time. Especially the series 1 boxes.

You said earlier you bought a pfc with the boost solenoid and that it is self learning... I am not sure who told you that but that is incorrect. I am sure you and your tuner now know this, but all computers are only as good as the person that tunes it so make sure you don't skimp on that.

If you want to compete in dutton etc your priority should be suspension as power is no good if you can't get it to the ground. I would suggest some bilstein PS9's which will set you back about 4k but will do the job very well. If you want to spend less I would get tein monoflex. Swaybars are a must in my opinion. I would suggest some whiteline bars. You are also going to need castor and camber. You can do that with either adjustable rose jointed arms which are the 'best' solution for the track or with bushes which won't give you as much adjustment but will avoid the rattling that goes with rose jointed arms. If you are not sure what you are talking about my suggestion would be to talk to 'Sydneykid' on these forums as he is extremely knowledgable and can provide a solution that will work.

In regard to diffs I would get 1.5 way's front and rear as 2 ways are just too harsh and make the car even more inclined to understeer if you put it in the rear. If you put a 2 way in the front it will make it difficult to steer.

I would stick to nismo diffs if it was me and you also need to be aware that aftermarket mechanical diffs are very noisey and make horrible noises.

In regard to the clutch it is not something I would skimp on as you really want to be able to control the take up easily and smoothly to drive the car well especially in tight events like dutton. I would get a nismo super copper mix or an osgiken. Yes they are expensive but they are for a reason.

Hope that helps.

Hi

Yeah I know about the mines car and the 2530 but every man and his dog has those turbos . The T517s 8cm are the ones for me at the moment and have seen some similar Japanese cars running them with success ( ie Garage Defend r33). More punch out of corners while 2530s are too linear. And lets face it the driver has a lot to do with it.

I actually did buy a kit from Sydney kid for 2.5k but have not received it so am getting my money back (2 months overdue) was supposed to coincide with my rebuild but he has let me down and f*#ked up my plans so has forced me to buy some other suspension

He is juggling 2 many balls trying to please everyone when the reverse is happening .

Engine block changed out for a new 24U block fully prepped along with head .Plus much more to much to write here.

Brakes and gearbox upgraded to handle the extra ps.

Already have twinplate nismo Cumix.

The only thing left is the diffs which I can get done at a later date if necessary will see first how the active rear goes (probably not) and a roll cage.

Think I have spent enough money by now so will lay off for a bit.

Sure I could buy a good rs porsche like my mate for a little more than what I have spent at the end of the day.

But GTRs do it for me and now we can compete heh heh.

Thanks for the info on the diffs though .

Why a 2way in the front??? (I don’t know much about diffs learning fast)

he said NOT to use a 2 way at the front

Front wheels like to turn at different speeds, obviously because they have different turning circles compared to one another

2 ways like to turn the wheels at the same speed, therefore the inside wheel has to turn faster than it wants to and will skip and make it very hard and dangerous to turn.

Thanks Slippery for that correction and the info

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
