ahh the epic journey is close to the end. The highs, the lows, the creamy middles...what did I order again? lol

Well done mate :P

Thats sweet you guys got em..Hope mine rocks up next day or 2 as got some suspensions parts due in as well.

Andrew, thanks for all work, just hope there is no fall back to you on the oz dollar drama.

good news fellas.

I'm hoping mine pops in tomorrow.

:)

PS - is there a marking or part number to differentiate between the 1000 & 2000 lb/ft shafts or whatver they are rated to lol ?

cheers

as for the power ratings, it was actually torque rating, 1000ft pounds and 2000ft pounds. but i was sent hp this and then hp that. i think it changed when we went to the aussie distributor as James was always quoting torque ratings. (as i just copied and pasted)

Well i dont plan to buy anything for a while now, since our dollar is up the shit.

there is really only one thing that i might do which is a titanium exhaust (90mm trust cat back)

and possibly a sump extension (tho i can get sump extensions rather cheap thru a fabricating friend) who wants me to collect rb26 sumps so he can stock them.

he did the design himself. but its some what similar to how the hi octane one is. (welded in trap doors etc) without a cast item and with alloy. says if you happen to hit it the cast will crack. where the alloy will possibly dent or bend.

i'm actually waiting at home now as i must have just missed him yesterday morning with the delivery!

Its actually a bit heavier than what i expected.. tho alot lighter than normal..

maybe i should have gone for the lover model haha.

i did take a photo but found i have no usb cable here

awesome

is yours the 2000lb/ft one mate? how can you differenciate?

cheers

mick

yeah this is the 2000lb/ft model, and i actually have no idea, we will have to wait untill Piggaz or gtr13 take photos of theirs as they were the only two who did the 1000hp model..

mines around about 9.3cm in thickness.. on the carbon section.

Andrew

90mm Ti exhaust ay?..mmm if you wait on the dollar to regain some ground i'm in...Trust TiR? or do you have a cunning plan?

yeah just a trust ti-r 90mm..i think they weigh less than the carbon shafts :P or maybe they were 15kg's i cant remember

with the way i am thinking i should leave the current setup for now. and doing a sidepipe..

but it all comes down to my internal wastegates holding pressure (30psi) and turbo efficiency, if they are efficient and not holding boost i will go external and will want a new front pipe and the Trust catback..

but if they are all good, i will just keep the current setup and get a sidepipe made up..

yeah I think the 1000ft/lb one is the go. no way you are going to put 2000ft/lb through a GTR driveline. go for the lightest one. and even better it's cheaper! though I guess this sterling advice comes a bit late for you chaps... :P glad to see you all got there in the end. :D

I dont know if mine has arrived yet. I sent it to my mates house. My parents would shoot me if another package from another country for the GTR arrived!. Will post pics ASAP!

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
