awsome result dude..

you definately heading out on wednesday? would love to see this run

all the best

Wednesday has been canned due to the weather...Wednesday next week looks the goods now.

What is the weight of the car when you go to the track?

Cheers

the last time we raced it weighed 1474kg...without the 106kg driver...so a 398KW GTR to go 10.3 sec's weighing 1580kg with a synchro box is a fair achievement.

we have stripped some weight out of it since so it will be interesting to put it on the scales at the track next week.

unfortunately i still weigh over 100kg

^Hahaha

What does twoogle mean anyway?

it means nothing...

our number plate reads TWO.06L...meaning two point six litre.

some people when making up custom plates use a 6 as a G

my mate one day was looking at the plate and asked us "what does twoogl mean"?

we had a laugh and explained to him that it meant 2.6litre...and that the 6 was not meant to be a G but actually a 6...

he said nah stuff it im now gonna call it "twoogle"

this name stuck and has grown to even been included in the drag records lists and in magazine articles

its weird how some nicknames evolve and stick

lol time to start running the 1\4 mile instead?

Nice figures anyway, Got any videos of the dyno runs or passes on the strip?

Good luck with Paul - great setup !

I've just got the Cosmo back from getting a few things fixed - so might even go out tomorrow night !

Thanks mate...very keen to look over your creation...well done and very fresh to see somethingout of left field.

Dont be too keen for tomm. night ...its forecast to rain.

we have put off running ours till next wednesday.

wow. thats a very impresive power and torque figure. how does it drive off boost? much loss dow low compared with the old setup?

oh pretty please can you post up a comparison dyno graph of your old setup and this one?

ps. after i find a gearbox (smashed inputrshaft)its valvetrain im doing next. 1.5bar and 8.3k on stock springs isnt probably very smart of me...

looks good :yes:

the sweet spot seems to be just on 4500rpm or 130km/h

looks like it comes on like a freight train

hope all is well and the mrs's is well

yeah max torque is @ 4500rpm but look at the overall torque spread from 4000-9500 its unbelieveable on the road.

Stace is good and the baby should be here in the next few weeks

Dave a comparison graph will be available next week.

Holy shit. (Says a big single owner)

Paul, you are nuts :P

What gearbox have you got in there?

hehe she's pretty mad (you wont see a torque curve like that with your big single)

ive love to give you a drive steve but that would be unfair to your underwear...lol

its an OS Giken 5 speed.

ill bite haha

not a lot in it here

post-3878-1133516522.jpg

awesome work...but to be fair...i was just giving steve a little niggle

wait till mines tuned and running some decent boost and then ill go the dyno "pepsi challenge" with ya.

what is your set-up?

main point that was being made in the 1st post was that so many people think to make this sort of power, a big single turbo is the answer...and its just not so. Even low-mount twins can deliver if set-up correctly.

    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
