Ive never seen a red 260RS before. THought they only made them in black or white.

Nice car - big $$$ eh. I like the whole neat but incredibly functional look - its not too over the top. Big fan!

I'll be curious to see what it ends up rolling on a dyno after run in, should be some awesome figures!

Im in the middle of running my 260 in at the moment, half way through a 3000km run in! So frustrating having to drive it like a grandma when you know what you have under the bonnet, the price of build ups is a good reason for self control though even when you pull up at the lights next to something you know you can kill thats stirring you up!

I havent gone as crazy as this build up, but have still done enough to be looking at 320-330awkw when its finally run in!

Nice work tho! :ninja:

soooooooo good, would love to go for a drive in that thing :nyaanyaa: . gona have to settle for something that looks the same but only goes half as fast. unless i win lotto than i can fly you over here to work the f*@k out of mine to :worship:

Holy shi!tballs that looks familiar...

Awesome build man.

If my 4G63 in an S13 project falls through, or the S13 eventually bores me, I am highly contemplating putting the hole lot into my Stagea. Yeah, I know, 4 banger, but 4G's have a heap of torque. Will have to decide that when I eventually put the engine on the dyno.

I am using an R34 manual RWD box anyway, so its just a matter of bolting up the R34 GTR box and away I can go with AWD and all :rolleyes: (some electronic work obviously)

Btw, nice fitment on the GT-C's :/. What size, width and offset? Thats the fitment I am after with mine.

3000km of pussy footing a new engine is not going to do it any good my friend.

Here, have an interesting read: http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

interesting conversion AlexCim....

Interesting indeed.

I have some pictures up on my MySpace. www.myspace.com/shiftyunicorn (yes, that myspace name was inspired originally by my stagea :P)

Some ideas have changed through the build, but its getting there. Engine/Gearbox getting mated over the next few weeks.

That guy raises some interesting points, but there is a lot inside an engine that he doesn't address so I would be a little wary of it myself.

ie - what about the preservative coating on the bearings in the mains and big/little ends

I wouldn't want anyone spining my brand new engine under hard load when there is still a lot of pre-assembly lube floating around in the oil either, not to mention the case hardened skin on new camshafts, bearings on rockers (or pushrod ends for all the knuckle draggers out there), freshly cut valve seats, stem seals etc etc etc

just my 2 cents anyway.

Hey guys,

After spending a massive amount of cash rebuilding the motor im more enclined to listen to the guys that built it, there are set procedures of certain revs etc that i am following to bed the motor in correctly. It isnt a good idea to put a brand new motor under massive load from the word go unless its a drag car and your going to rebuild it every week. Its not the first time ive had to run a motor in and i believe following a run in process is the safe way to go about things. There are obvious signs of seeing a new motor on a dyno for tunning purposes that show that a new motor appears "tight" and wont rev hard, so making it rev hard will inevitably cause some sort of damage or premature wear. Where as running the motor in under lower load to allow things to settle in makes alot more sense to me.

Im happy to wait and follow the mechanics process, that way if something goes bang i have someone to take it back too. Ive done the ligaments in my ankle so i wont be able to drive it for a few weeks unfortunately!

When i finally get to do max power tuning ill let you know what it comes up with!

Cheers

Ben

Interesting indeed.

for sure

I ran in my bike engine rebuild with his methods

edit: mixed in with my engine builders recommendations...............

...........

hence why you drop the oil / filter after 20kms, then another 50kms, then another 100, then a few hundred more, etc

All I know is when the ex head mechanic of Nissan Japan (not a dealer, Nissan itself), along with the ex head engine designer and builder for Nismo tell me to run it in that way, that is what I do.

Period.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
