I know one thing for sure. The car has the best inner guards ever ! They alone make it the best GTR in the country :P (seriously, they are trick)

A vote for AUSSIE ENGINEERING!!!!

Actually, this car is a pin up for a locally developed GTR. Velo seats, Harrop brakes, V8 Supercar rear wing when at the track....there seems to be a trend to stay away from the normal Japanese parts bin?!?!?!?!?!?

another good one Roy...time after time Croydon's have been sent cars from XXXX (insert well known japanese tuning house) by Autostyle and a few other importers.... only for them to be not only poorly set-up but tuned like a dogs breky. People please take a good note of what has been said here. Yes the Japanese do things well, but just because XXXX has built the car does not mean its the perfect car. In most instances...far from it. A handful of Aussie tuners/builders can do it better than them...id match Racepace/Croydon/Godzilla/Berry-Newman teams against most of what Japan has to offer. We already proved this 15 years ago when Gibson Motorsport was the world leader. Nismo asked them not to bring their cars over to Japan to compete due to the fear of being humiliated.

Torque graph Ben ?

Nice work Gary. I'm pretty sure a lot of that is wrong though. Except for the last bit.

But then the only person who really knows is the big fella. Even then I'm not 100% convinced he even remembers what has been done. Because every time he's done something to the car I've returned to find he's pulled it all apart again. LOL

There are only a few options to achieving 2.95 litres, you are limited in the bore size. Being 86 mm standard, 86.5 mm oversize, normally used for ensuring straight and parrallel bores and 87 mm about as big as you want to go. Although there are few alive at 87.5 mm, but that an unnecessary risk that I wouldn't take. From there the stroke is easy to work out, simple high school maths. Once you know the stroke and that it has an RB26 block (tall or short), then the rod length is again a simple subtraction. Getting short custom rods made is expensive and unnecessary as you can more easily and cheaply select the gudgeon pin height. Such that the piston doesn't hit the spark plug. Plus the rod stroke ratio is pretty terrible anyway and shorter rods would just make it worse. Up to here it's just mathematics, the camshaft timing is the real tricky part, it depends on the valve sizes and porting, So my guess (272/280) is simply based on what my past RB30DET power curves look like, hence it is a 100% guess.

Lots of fun for all

Cheers

Gary

I reckon you have almost got it sussed...except for the turbo's...even a 2.9 wont bring RS's on like that. Gav's 2.8 is proof of that.

they may with some clever head work/manifolding

im with SK on this one, i cant see it being RB30 based, i rkn RB26 block with a mix-n-match storker kit, with at least one of the 3 components being custom, most lilely pistons or rods. cams would be big, my guess would be around the 256/64 mark, a little smaller than what SK said but with a smooth 900rpm idle, even with the ebst tuning getting cams like that to idle at 900 would be a stretch (i think so anyway, i have nowhere near the experience of SK)

i reckon all that low down power and torque is from manifolding and headwork, thats the 'secret' area.

so is this gonna be revealed at all anyway, or are we just stabbing in the dark for no reason? c'mon.... at least give us a hint? tell us whose closest to the real deal? please...... :rofl:

Hey guys,

I really don't mind sharing the shortblock specs, as I'm fairly sure I've posted details on here a while back.

Bore is 86mm

Stroke is 84mm

Rods are SR20

Its a liner/spacer-plate RB26 block (ala OS RB30), 20mm taller than std.

cheers,

Ben

Im amazed there is an 86mm bore RB26 block left in the country :rofl:

Haha - that was the bit I knew. (Sorry Gary but it wasn't my place to say exactly what was wrong).

I also know what the turbo's are unless he changed them again and they aren't GT-RS (although he did test them I'm pretty sure).

The one thing I've found with Ben is you take what you think you know to be right and discard it because he seems to get great results by doing things completely different to everyone else.

:) ummm steve. spun bearing.... oily car. remember that day...... teeheee.

lol yeah i remember, but i got back out there as the bearing hadnt quite spun yet :banana:

In the end it didnt spin anyway ;)

I thought you would remind me of that day

I know one thing for sure. The car has the best inner guards ever ! They alone make it the best GTR in the country :D (seriously, they are trick)

Pics/details please?

Garrett -10's?

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
