N1 is for Nismo

no it's not.. lol

anyway, I don't think your labour price was that far out, except for the fuel pump. god damn. remove and drain tank? you just open the inspection port and clip it in. takes about 1 hour tops if you have never done it before. next time is 30 mins.

oil pump I think is a waste of money with his current upgrades. cost of around $1200 for a good one, and when using a high flowing pump it's worth while fitting baffles, and you will NEED to add an oil return from the head, and block or reduce the oil feeds to the head (all this together would be a couple of grand installed).

forget the oil pump at this stage of mods.

OK...I got that wrong...but that is all ...I stand by all the other estimated prices.

Oh Beer Baron....I get it ...get all your mods...and wait for the oil pump to fail...so then you can re-build your motor..lol

im doing similar mods to what ya mate wants.im not changing oil pump just keep revs under 8 thats my plan and hope she holds up good...

get on the sticky thread...Report Engine failures...and look at why most GTR32 motors fail.

Oil pump...broken gears...broken bolts on gears,,,then it is up to you to decide.

well for 300kw I don't think it's neccesary to change the oil pump. look at the cost properly:

new pump (jun,greddy,whatever) $1200

external oil drain $300

oil restrictor $10

head gasket $250

sump baffles/enlarged sump $500

proper oil pressure gauge $300

crank collar + fitting $300

REMOVE AND REPLACE ENGINE $800

REMOVE AND REPLACE HEAD $400

a total of nearly $4000 just to have an aftermarket pump installed and working properly. that's a lot of dough just to protect a standard RB26...

now whilst you have gone to all this trouble to replace the oil pump tell me, now that you have the head off doesn't it make sense to install some forged pistons? if you are going pistons doesn't it make sense to get some new rods too. if you are getting new rods now you need new bearings. now you have just rebuilt your RB26 and have spent $10K and not even done your mods yet.

so I'll say it again. for small low mount turbos, running around the 300kw mark replacing the oil pump is not the best use of your money.

edit: forgot crank collar. :domokun:

agreed totally. plus a r33 gtr crank or collar.ill be waiting for it to pop or have the money for the full build,i no things might break but shit it break on the stock setup 2...

Goes for you to ash.....I have been through all this and can even post receipts on work carried out by performance work-shops.

If You and Nick agree that for $2000 you can get Turbo's/Dumps/Injectors/Fuel pump/Regulator/Oil pump/Timing Belt

all fitted..........I believe you are mis-leading people.....let alone there has been no talk of a good tune and all the other minor details that will be need to be adressed.

Good luck with the mods mate..

Oh as far as the new crate motor..here is a link http://www.justjap.com/parts_nengines.htm

Thanks for the link. I aware of what a crate motor is and where to purchase them.

But do you realise you get just the long motor?

So spending 13k on a crate motor, and then going and purchasing plenum, injectors, loom, turbos, dumps, manifolds, belts, pulleys etc etc.

You basically spend 13k and your worse off as you still need to purchsse everything. :thumbsup:

Posting up that he should by a crate motor for 300rwkw is just stupid when a stock RB26 can rattle of 300rwkw day in day out for years.

Many have done so before, many will continue to do so.

I wasnt even referring to Nick's post about labour debate with you.

I was referring, as i did quote you, to your post about the parts. So lets get into it.

Below is what you reccomended, next to it is more precise advice.

* 2530/2860's - too big for 300rwkw

* Nismo FPR - Not required at all

* Splitfire coils - Not neccesarily required

* 700 or higher injectors - wrong

* Cams - Nice to have, but again not required

For 13k (incl cams) thats just a plain rip off. If you paid that price, then you my friend have been stung royally.

Angus posted the rough prices back on Page 1 (around $8500). Go back and look over it and you'll see the prices are spot on.

Anymore than say... $1000 more... you paid good money for nothing

Thanks Nismoid......gt-ss or gt2530's for a gtr is really up to the individual choice.

The prices have fallen since I finished work on my car.

Sure...going different turbo's makes no difference in price.

Sure use your standard afm's.

Sure Coils aren't required.

Sure 700cc injectors are big....so 555 items are fine.

Sure cams aren't required...

Sure new oil pump and water pump aren't required

Sure timing belt...or any other thing required....

Sure dial the actuator to 1.2bar....so no need for boost controller.

SO

"Slap the turbo,s,injectors and pump(Fuel) do a mild tune.....all is good.

$2500 turbo's,fuel pump and reg.$ 450...INJECTORS $700...TUNE AND LABOUR.....$1800..FROM A QUALITY WORKSHOP.

TOTAL COST $5450

Engine will be fine...under 300or at300rwkw's if you rev..below 8000RPM...all good."

If i ever give this comment to a thread title like "Money to spend on a gtr"ESPECIALLY A 32

THEN GIVE IT TO ME HARD...LOL

edit: forgot crank collar. :thumbsup:

So true....to many things need to be looked at...thought about...cost of replacing taken into account when you have everything open....the thing is...a 32 is getting a bit long in the tooth...if you don't replace or fix things as you upgrade

turbo's etc....you will be asking for trouble...that is why I firmly believe in fixing and replacing things before they break.

On the other hand ...most prefer to break thing first then fix them.

Either way...it still costs about the same.......

I mean...if the oil pump fails....cost for re-build...about $4k to $5k +..depending on what you want to go in.

To replace the oil pump and do the mod's as you have stated $4K.

Because the motor will be out to do the turbo's some of that cost is saved.

For 300rwkw, explain (logically) how the 2530 is better than the GT-SS

Thanks.

Really

300RWKW's on which Dyno.. at what RPM...with what mods...using what boost?

Can he use 300RWKW's on the street if he gets it at 7500RPM.?

Does he know what a gtr feels like with only 300rwkw's?

.....lots of questions need to be asked to make it a logical explanation.

GT2530's I will state as the best upgrade on a gtr and most people who have driven one with them,will never use gt-ss turbo's.

I use them and there is nothing but smile on my face when I hit full boost.

    • 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 1680, 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.
