turns out one of the braided lines split on the starter motor so oil pissed all over it, then caught fire and melted through clutch line and that kept going lol.. from what we can tell engine is fine, just gotta fix burnt wiring and replace what ever hoses/lines need replacing . hopefully done before domain HC!

Give me a yell if you need anything cobber, my old engine is still 99% complete so can rob it for spares :woot:

spotted: BOOST31 GTR being reborn, what a weekend

IT'S ALIVE!!! haha. thanks for the help buddy :woot:

now spotted is pretty much a whole other GTR in parts in my shed, better get snapping and start a for sale thread

spotted me having a bit of a shit fight with my turbo

i now have a new manifold-turbo gasket, 3 inch dump pipe and none of the rest of the exhaust :worship:

sounds awesome but i'll attach the rest of exhaust tmrw

can't wait to drive it with the new dump :)

the black r32 gtr with autocraft stickers is Jamie's, white one is P.J's, hes on the forum here somewhere :worship: not sure about other ones. burgz was in one doing limiter launches lol.

gotta love a limiter launch!!!!! also gotta love having a complete spare drive train in the workshop.....

Mine was the Grey 1 with white wheel's...

Wishing i had have spotted someone breaking into my 32 on sunday and stealing all the audio gear :starwars: luckily they couldn't quite get the car but snipped a few cables under the bonnet and played with the fuses! Little bogans need their hands chopped off!!

Saw a very race spec silver 32 gtr in melville st car park yesterday looked tough!!

Spotted our wagon with new slotted rotors allround along with new pads, thanks to me and Scotty. Also spotted pipster tonight lookn like his wagon has a big dent in RHS front door. Costly!!

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
