Yo Roy

Mate of mine how had a ceffy (Softy on NS) with all the mods

ap pfc 256 cams 2530 gtr inj etc etc

told me the other day that his car came on so much more aggresively due to the cams than all other rb20 wt 2530 fitted he'd driven

which I know would be atleast 2 others

he now has a standard motor in it after the old one died and bits were sold off to pay for the stocky

he has fitted a 2535 and is on the hunt for some cams for it

I told Sam that you tried cams and made less power than without - he suggested that perhaps your "wrecker" motor might have reground cams without you even realising ;) or are you convinced that those 'stock' cams really are stock.

Well it was a warranty motor from EKW after the original one they supplied me died because of a bent oil pick up and damaged sump the day after i drove off with it. The warranty engine needed plenty of parts off the other RB as it was incomplete and pretty oridinary looking. Inlcuding grind marks on rocker covers/manifolds from being removed from the original car . So hey, anything is possible...but i woudl highly doubt it. Im mor elikely to win Powerball tonight....or they are the best blokes on the face of the planet for giving me a motor from a modified car rather then a stocker like 99.9% of wrecker motors. Perhaps i should try buying an RB26 off them :(

I am respraying the cam covers in the next week or two, i will grab some verniers and measure them. I will bet money they are std ;) The mechanic who did the cam install didnt make any comment about the std cams that sat on a bench for over a week. The car idles like a stocker? Rather then having fiddle cams etc i had thought that perhaps they had supplied me an RB25DE but all the engine numbers say RB20, the torque it makes etc suggests RB20. Other then the power it makes and its reliability there is no reason why anyone would question it.

Dont forget i am also running more boost and have a good manifold....?!?!?!?!?!

1400r. There is still that sceptical part of me. Your friends car's comparison is comparing different cars, different engines, different ecus, different tuned etc etc. Possibly different gearing and gearboxes ????? Too many variables. Im not saying he is wrong...just its not a very good comparison.

LOL...i want to see same tuner, same engine, same ecu with cam gears...then cams ....???? :)

..i will add. I suspect if ppl took their cars to their tuner and said "lean on it, i dont want it to go bang...but so what if it does" then more ppl will be making numbers??????????? I think its a case of most tuners thinking that RB20 equals fragile so dont use too much ignition or boost??????? And dont want the rep of blowing engines....lol i agan dotn want it to die but i have promised it a warriors death, maybe rods out the side of the block through theguard and damaging a pesky GTR that is overtaking me :)

ahahah that would be awesome

bit off topic but how are you planning to paint your rocker covers? sand, primmer, heat proof spray paint?

or are you getting it done by a pro?

full boost should be around 3200rpm but i haven't really looked - just got this 32 recently.

mods are the usual:

z32 afm

GTR injectors

PowerFC

full exhaust

cooler

Bosch 040 pump etc

I'm pretty happy with it so far - but buying a skyline with a mechanical LSD tends to do that :wave:

At this stage the GTS4 GTRS is quicker but that might change....GTST has a huge weight advantage....

Yeah but the GTS-T has RWD disadvantage and @ 17 psi it struggles for traction in the 1st 2 gears.

haha, mine struggles for traction in second even on 14psi with the stock rims/crappy tyres and huge midrange of the mighty 2510 :wave:

i'll update everyone once Sam has played with the tune & increased boost - should be interesting to see if it can crack 200rwkw on Sams dyno....

Cant say that has to be the case. This is my car on slippery semi polished concrete running over 230rwkws. On the street it doesnt struggle for traction in 1st or second gear at all.

Im planning on getting to the drag strip in the next few weeks so will see how that goes with regards to traction and 260-270rwkws from 20psi

Mine with 300rwkw and 700nm or torque was all over the drag strip in third. Amazed at how I got off the line.

Had to drop the pressure out of the MT's from 14psi to 12psi.

Held pretty good traction then but also started to create a bit of drag (cause the tyres are now a little flat)

Interloper...didn't you have a GTRS on the car previously?

for those who say its wheelspin city (mine is like this too, well in 1st it was);

what tyre setup do you have

what about suspension and diff setup

how does the power curve look - linear or lightswitch ?

Lolz...2 rb20 R32s eh? Man...1 of them is enough to burn a hole in my pocket...can't bear to imagine what 2 would be like...but yes...it is nice to be in a position to choose which car to drive to work...espacially when both are fun cars to drive...

which do u find better for everyday driving? the HKS GTRS or the 2510?

if we're purely talking about power/acceleration, then the 2510 is easier to keep up with traffic as i don't have to rev it more to get decent boost/speed. and combined with the lighter weight of the gtst, makes it drive more like my dads stock S15 :P

its nice, but your set up using HKS 2535 & cam gears to get that 217 on Sams dyno makes for a pretty sweet package - certainly something i need to aim for with cam gears :P

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
