Its funny how much opinions differ. Im chasing the 300rwkw mark and when i talked to the guys at advan they said on stock internals no more than 270rwkw and the guys at croydon said i could run 300rwkw on stock internals all day long. :happy:

engines only as good as its tune

250kw is enuff for the street, your a p plater and you drive around with a 34 and custom number plates, keep it as stock looking as possible ie higflow..

and were talking about the NEO rb25....i didnt think theyd need a collar like the early 32 GTRs

Yeah they do.

+ machining of the crank

+ getting it checked/testing it and so-on for wear etc etc

:D Its not far off, hence i just purchased a new crank. If you find your current one isnt so crash hot, then you've just done your dinner

I got charged $60.50 to check and polish my crank, $150 for the collar and $150 to machine and fit it. That's a long way off a new crank cost.

for the record 300rwkw as a goal in itself for no other reason is stupid. This thread is largely a pretty dumb one as a result.

anDru,

What do you want the car to do? Think of some performance capabillities for the car then work towards them. Be it a 1/4 mile time , circuit , drift or combination. Obviously if it's going to be driven on the road you need to keep that in mind too.

Maybe look at the whole setup and explain the goals you have overall, this will yeild reccomendations that will set you on the path to success in whatever pursuit the car is going to be put to.

Some rather weird injector numbers floating around these days... who the hell makes 525cc injectors for the NEO; or are they high-flowed from someone like Deutschworks?

u got a good point their and i totally agree with you, but thats not really gonna stop me from getting 300kws, and im sort on money as it is, if i highflow, later on down the track ill have to buy ANOTHER turbo and manifords ect ect.

With you driving?

blitz ur not that funni :huh:

i was gonna settle for 250 but 2 mates of mine just bought a Ford GT and the other a HSV Monaro, and they all pumpin 250 stock, i know its a stupid thing but i always wanted to reach a point where very lil have( i know there are lots but not as much as 250s, another reason why i got the r34 gtt instead of a 32/33gtr just wanna be unique, i also want my car featured in magz, dont think ill get anywhere with 250, theres alot more reasons but i cant think off the top of my head. i know all u older guys are over the whole show and shine crap but man being 18, im sure u know how i feel. but dont start thinkin im gonna be rockn up to noble park maccas and doing doies or anything, im not like dat

anDru, have you ever driven a car with anywhere near 300kw at the wheels?

This is a serious question and in all honesty 300rwkw for an 18 year old on his P's is an accident waiting to happen, no matter how good a driver you think you are.

Now before you attack the above post, understand that its for your own good

Well, Magazines might look for a package car rather than a car with minimum 300rwkw. You need the whole stereo, rims, paint and kit to feature in a magazine. Sure big horsepower helps but its probably not the clincher.

I have 240rwkw out of my GTR at the moment and its beautifully easy to leave most cars at the light (I rarely accl hard from lights anyway). That said I have very minor mods and ceramic turbos so I am planning for more myself :huh:

those cars make near 200rwkw

a r34 with 220rwkw should be able to take them both down with no problems

im able to take down xr6 basic modified turbos with 190rwkw and was puling on him slowly

also taken down a 290 badged vx ss ute, the 6 litre which ever one it was, pulling on him slowly

you dont need 300rwkw, in fact you will probably loose with 300rwkw

youll have lots more lag and less average power, yoiull have a peaky 300rwkw

instead of a nice broad 250rwkw

so kinda wank value then?

not for strip/drift/track use?

of course ill use it for drift track and strip use defiently!!!! but obviously it isnt the main thing i managed a 12.9 down the 1/4 and was very impressed :laugh:

no i havnt drivn a 300kw car but ive driven a 280kw. i know what your trying to say but ill handle it, many disagree but ill guess ill have to prove em wrong, when i signed up on this forum asking how much i could get a r34 gtt for, everyone laughed at me and said keep dreaming, well im here today with a r34 thats got over 220rwkw and im preety proud.

Blitz you are wasting your time.

Yeah a R34 GT-T, real unique that one, should have got a R33 GT-R.

u may think that but its still a 33 to me

ive actually got a 10grand sound system with full neon setup, wider guards, full Do Luck R34 GTR Body Kit, ive got Silver Volk GTC as rims, and this is why im aiming for my next step, big power.....im after the whole package

and uve got a GTR man 4WD man thats pwnage, thats another reason why i want the 300kw, just so keep up with the AWDs, i know ill slowly gain on them but, with the 18x10 tyres ive got now, it just makes everything that much better

you should research more a FOrd GT has over 290Kws at the flywheel and the HSV monaro has 297KW at the Flywheel, althoguh thats preety amazing you wasted all those cars congrats, respect :P but id be much happier with 300kw, i know what all u guys are saying but its a personal choice, and ai goal i wanna achieve. im glad to see alot of ppl are starting to take me a lil more seriously on this forum, its hard bein 18 with a r34 on a forum full of older enthusiasts :bunny:

If you are going to try and pull up Paulr33 I suggest you get your facts straight and stop dribbling shit.

He said the Ford and the HSV have around 200 rwkw - not flywheel kw.

Trying to pull up someone that unlike you, does know what they are talking about will only make you look the fool.

GT-R and you're mixing power at the wheels and the fly which is just going to confuse things as there's obviously a big difference.

Where the heck are you getting all the money from?

Drugs, credit card fraud etc.

i know what he said but the FORD GT and MONARO is 297kws at the FLYWHEEL WHICH IS ABOUT 250 at the REAR WHEEL

its still a 33 mate like i said dont bother arguing, and like i said just above, 297 at the flywheel is aorund 250 at the rear wheels

Ye, and with a 1700-1800kg body, a lighter car with 200-220rwkw and 1400kg's is going to deal a beating to it time and time again because weight is the enemy of power.

You can have as much power as you want. But when you tip the scales with another 300-400kgs, the extra power means dick all.

Is basic physics.

If you cant be faster than a Naro/GT with 220rwkw in your own car, then you cant drive, or you dont have 220rwkw (or a combination of the two) :huh:

    • 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.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
