hey whos our motor bike people here?

was just wondering if anyones used those thingy's that are kinda like the bike chains you use for push bikes but they thicker n have a key lock and naturaly designed for motorbikes.

i was thinking could use it down the shop n chain my car to any random pole i find or even a fellow friends car wrapped around our rims :) that way theres no pushing my ride up the street to mess with it unless they manage to take my wheel off with locnutz and replace it with the spare :thumbsup: would take a bit of effort though and looking very sketchy while doing it

just a random secruity idea that passed my mind :P next week inflatable doll left in the car (not just for a good time and to save me looking like a loner)

hey... looking at turbos for my rb25 when she arives!!

i have been looking through slouches GB and came across the 3071r and 2871r..

which would be the turbo to go for and wat housings would best suit! looking for response and 280ish even 300kw fo a later date!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ga...86-t210306.html

cheers

Adrian, I have pondered and pondered on going gt3540 for ages just chasing the big numbers, I was even going to put my turbo up for sale last night....But reality is, I make close to 270rwkw with my gt2871r with 15psi. More responsive than most turbos and any more than 250rwkw is ridiculous for a 2wd skyline. The turbo you will need to make 300rwkw is going to disappoint you with low down reponse after sampling a smaller turbo. Sure, youll make big number but numbers are numbers. Its the way the car drives that really matters. Ive had a chance to drive both a GTR with 300rwkw and a GTS-T with 300rwkw and there is no comparison, all depends what you want out of the car obviously. If your making a hills/steetable car then sacrifice 30-40rwkw and keep it a responsive, fun car.

EDIT: GT2871R 56t for sale $1200 6000km old! :thumbsup:

Ok LOL i may have done something really stupid, just had new turbo injectors so on a so forth installed and still adjusting to the new power. I took off possibly a little to quick and lost traction on my rear tires also into second gear. Thats not the problem the problem is since then my radiator fan is continuosly running, the more revs the car gets thru the gears the higher it runs.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!! Any idea's would be great

craig ill buy ur old rotors if there in good nik?

i need to upgrade my brakes for the 25..

as far as i am aware, they dont have much life left in them, and they need a machine...

is 30 bucks good for you? lol

i will have no need for them.

sounds like the clutch fan is stuck on.............should be as easy as getting another clutch fan

Know were i can get a new clutch fan? Also a 02 sensor lol wasnt caused thru same incident

those are both reasonably generic components. im sure you can get them from repco or one of the mechanics resellers. o2 sensors are never cheap, and you want to make sure u get a new one, 2nd hand could be a waste of time (and petrol). The clutch on the fan is possibly replacable itself (its just a little metal spigot and possibly some sleeved coil) so I reckon you could get one of those no sweat.

Had my o2 sensor replaced at road n track last year, wasnt too expensive from memory tho i dont know how much it cost specifically

-D

Definitely agree. A large turbo sucks..

The GT28 on the rb25 and a GT30 with a .82 rear on the rb30 is the perfect match.

268rwkw... Mine had no issues getting power down in second with 225/50 16's.

I ran wider Nankang NS2 245/40 18's at one stage and they had half the grip of a decent 225/50 16. All though the 16's don't look as good. 18's just don't grip; cornering they are excellent. :D

I've also had cheapish 225/50 16's that would skate around through third gear from 80km/h until 150km/h and twitch in fourth by simply rolling on the throttle in third.

I havnt put my gt35/40r on my rb25 yet its still sitting on my desk for show lol but after reading some threads on the GT2871R iv been thinking of getting one with my tax :) what cams would you run with the gt28 to get the max out of the turbo?

oh so that wasnt on TV tonight... what episode was

Not sure if the others in the house would enjoy the result of the vindaloo on me :D

In other news... just saw the Top Gear episode with the GTR in it. The episode in one word, EPIC! :kiss:

how much i wouldnt mind an iTouch

I just bought an iPod touch! Was way too cheap, only reason i bought it :bunny: ebay FTW, thats my 26th item purchased from ebay. :)

lol i dont know why you guys have so much troubles hyperlink ftw

ebay links fail. Steve knows how to fix them

are you blind stupid or both you asked for rotors the other day for R33 and i said i had some :)

take no offence i need a shower

craig ill buy ur old rotors if there in good nik?

The GT35 really is not a good street turbo on the rb25. First gear sucks second gear sucks and your left playing catch up. I've been for a little drive with a gt35 rb25det and it appeared slower through first and second than a rb25det making 200rwkw with its stock turbo. It just didn't really get up and go until 3rd+ gear. :S

yeah on my car :)

i told you the other day only rotors then i said wouldn't you want callipers also

if you search yahoon autions you will find some at a decent price

I bought it as i was going for big power not response but now im going for response and power so iv been thinking of the GT2871R :)

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
