Well it is all happening!

We only have 6 odd weeks to have the car reliable, guaranteed we are coming back with a blown this or that... but also the thirst for a somewhat competitive car in 2009 - you gotta start somewhere!

Duncan - our only legal option is to run the ceramic turbos is it not - or have them rebuilt with a steel wheel CHRA? Someone mentioned earlier that to swap to N1 we would need to be entering the car as N1 spec and actually have an.. N1.

Can't wait to get over there!

You DON'T actually have to have a genuine N1, just enter it as such. But, you need to have all genuine N1 bits on there, such as factory oil cooler, N1 spec turbos etc. I reckon it'd be worth the exercise just to have that little bit of extra reliability up your sleeve.

Keep in mind that technically you cannot run a GTR with so much as an oil cooler if it wasn't on their from factory. Hence nearly everyone runs as N1 spec. :O

Btw, great to have another Skyline there :D

lol you forgot a very important word 2nd in that sentance "dont"

but you are right about the trade off. the n1 turbos are too big, but 16" wheels are too small. lots of compromises.

Is an N1 oil pump required?

I am thinking the higher flow is more likely to cause oil issues without any internal engine mods to oiling for the head. We are trying to avoid cracking open the motor at this stage.

Also just trying to get our hands on some N1 "lagmasters" - one guy looks to have the R34 N1 dumps as well which could be a good bonus - you guys know of any issues fitting these in the 32 with the standard front pipe positions?

Oh and if anyone has an N1 oil cooler, power steering cooler or water pump we are in the market BIG TIME!

well strictly yes, if you run in n1 spec you can't pick which bits you want. but the n1 pump flows less not more than a standard pump. also targa seemed to be easier on the motor than circuit racing you are not doing as much sustained high rev stuff (yes on the big straights, but there is a lot of mid rev tight stuff too)

re the 34 n1 dumps, they of course are also not legal on a 32. I am pretty confident they would bolt straight on though, only difference would be the rear dump has an exhaust gas temp sensor fitting.

i had to get my 32 n1 turbs from nissan on order from japan. no-one else was mad enough to want a set of them I guess :( the 34 n1s are a much better unit (ball bearing v 270o thrust bearing) but not legal

having said all that, I didn't notice any eligibility scruitineering last year at all. Another GTR we went through with clearly had aftermarket injectors for example.

Sweet re: oil pump - Steve already bought one! I do now remember hearing that they flowed less - thanks.

How much were the R32 N1's and how long did they take to get here? Edit: spose i should just get on the phone to nissan eh!!

We are looking at the G4 Racing AP copies - just hoping they will fit under 17x8 / 17x9 wheels

Ben you mentioned being able to run 18x9 under the option rule - what does this entail? Couldn't find it mentioned in the regs.

Stu Benson (tech reg guy for Targa) has told me that cars are alowed to run wheels that were option parts. The R32 GT-R had 17x9, and 18x9 wheels as an option from the factory. R33's had 18x10 optional wheels from the factory. The old CAMS regs had the option rule in there somewhere. Best bet is to email Stu.

Just found the regs. 301.9 http://www.targa.com.au/Competitors/Regula...icalGeneral.pdf dosn't say anything about wheels though?

Hi

Re the options on wheels, I read the new regs and it does not say you can have option wheels so I am not sure you can.

The other thing to remember is that if you run an option you need to be able to produce proof as per the regs.

That proof must be in one of the formats defined in the regs.

Just my thoughts, happy to see the rules that say otherwise.

wheel options were removed in error from the regs, but will be re-included via bulletin shortly. sorry for the confusion.

paul - further to your email, lee also took the turbos off my old GTR and replaced them with something else. i doubt he'd be after big dollars for them. they made 260kw on 16psi and 95ron with a 3.5" exhaust with a very very mild tune.

Hey whats the deal with exhaust regs?

Had a chat with Ben @ Racepace and he mentioned we may be limited to a 3" exhaust maximum on the GTR? Ouch...

Stuart - those turbos were genuine N1's?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
