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.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
