  • 2 weeks later...

Pretty quiet in here, has every ones cars died ? The blue R32 is still a few weeks off dammit! The new bottom end build has turned into complete new long motor build including nitto oil pump, trust sump, $1700 tomei valve springs, new valves, custom head oil drain setup and T51 turbo rebuild. Just the cams will be left from the old engine. What a head fcuk !

32GTR has been in the shed since the last bracket race. Like most gt-r owners I am spending more time and money working on it than driving it.

Also buying 2 more commodores has distracted me again and getting ready for speedway season.

Few things to sort out but I will be racing saturday. So far have fitted HKS oil cooler & DLI, Koyo radiator & silicon hoses, Kics r40 open nuts, Cusco plate relocate and Nissan oem radiator rubbers, gearbox boot & bush, coilpack loom, exhaust bracket etc. Have already removed my a/c foward of the firewall and plenty more is going to get pulled. Still got rego & other bits to fit but running out of time. I will just be out for burnouts and fun on sat.

Next year I will be buying more M/T's, stripping more weight and then probably cage time. Hopefully 10's on a budget or bust!!!

GTR and budget in the same sentence, good on ya ozzie. Then what - 10.9s or so, what then you'll need to jump in the deep end like me to go significantly faster and reliably. Your stock bottom end ain't gonna last forever, (or your box). What times it on tommorrow ? I might think about trying to get the R33 down 11.5 or better. Give me a ring tomorrow gaylord, I'm going to the cas now to try and win some R32 funds !

You know I only enjoy taking your sweet arse on the track honey :(

I will be doing my usual last minute slap together, got to buy a smaller battery because of the oil cooler. Probably head down around 1-2, racing starts at 3. Burnouts and 11.4 again or quicker on my 'budget' chinese tyres.

was a good meeting overall i think, finally got to get my car out for a meeting. ran a best of 13.099 which is pretty good i think since its only running a mailtune and only on wastegate pressure.

I didnt have any major problems out there except on the way back into town when my gearbox started to whine. will be looking for a replacement now. i didnt think it was going to hang on for long seeing as it was already crunching second and third before i went out lol

Meeting worked out well. Had the normal couple of glitches to start but things happened after the sun was going down. I ran a new PB of 12.05 @ 122mph still on regular street tyres. Congrats to Cam for the times he was firing out. Carmelo did a good job shaving a second off the mazda's times. Ryan with the capella blew his gearbox, and Benny got himself some time slips too.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
