Ye i plan to get an overlay (if my old tune is still on the tuners PC).

Havent got anything in my hands yet as it was just a setup without even a tune (factory ECU still)

I wont be fixing that wont be for a month or two yet, the GT-SS setup feels stronger everywhere.

I think its as much the turbo choice as the motor, being 26's are much nicer than 25s.

A setup that did feel strong was a GCG hi-flow R34, Bass Junky's/Petes car.

That felt similar to the GT-SS setup i have now. His setup was much better suited to the 2.5ltr.

Doesnt have massive top end, but the midrange is sensational.

This is a GCG manifold with at GT35 on an RB26.

I am looking at getting the gcg high mount manifold too, these are the pics i was sent.

In these pics it seems to me the pipe the gate mounts off goes towards the front of the car and not the rear, and im not 100% sure that is right.

Do you have and pics of your manfold BOOSTED? Also any reason you went the turbosmart gate and not the tial??

cheers

My RB26, GT-SS setup feels heaps faster @ 250rwkw than my RB25/GT30 setup did @ ~280rwkw because there is power everywhere.

That'd have to be at least partly due to the difference in mass between an R33 and R31 chassis though? Weight counts for a lot.

That said, having a little less power spread over a wide range - rather than concentrated over a narrow range will make for a better thing all round. Matter of interest type question: what sort of useable rpm range does the 26 with GT-SS work over?

While the 26 is definitely spec'd overall better than a 25, depending on the power level I think there's a good argument for having something with VVT. Not flaming something up, just commenting that the 25 isn't a dog by any means. The 26 though, is a better base platform. :P

that looks pretty nice, id just be worried bout the cable ties on the wastegate heat rapp near the top :S

It does look very tidy overall. Good effort, and I'm especially interested in the work done to control/contain heat. I'd think the cable ties are very temporary, and we'd see either tie wire or a clamp of some description take its place before installation.

Looks like you're going to be aiming for some fairly serious output there Dave; no longer a daily drive proposition? What are you doing with management systems?

ECU is Power FC,Fuel system is Nismo pump and Nismo 555cc injectors,still stock ignition.

And no the car wont be my daily driver anymore,mostly used as a sunday driver and track day car.

lol never thought i was going to take it this far.But the car has turned into a hobby.I dont drink,smoke or gamble so i have to spend my money on something :P

HR31 and R33 almost come in the same actually.

Im 1400kg's without me in it.

R32's were 160kg's lighter as you can see when you put the two cars next to each other.

Not a lot of 'refinement' in the 80's im afraid. Everything electrical is huge and chunky compared to further models.

eg, my powersteering pump was 2x the size of a R32 GTR one (both hicas) lol.

Oh the 25 isnt a piece of shit. But if you had a choice, you'd just get 26 off bat.

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
