If it's remotely relevant my old rb26 with 0.82 gt35 was making ~400rwkw with egt's (as measured approx 1" from the head) between 870-890degC on all cylinders after applying some pretty big corrections.

By comparison a friends rb with a t04z making a fair bit more power had egt's ranging between 860 and 910deg (a lot less work put into trimming individual cylinders). Both cars on pump 98.

I think you'll find Nathan's is still a 2.6L, he will join the cool kids with the 3L's soon enough I hope

I was thinking of doing a freshen up over christmas too. maybe its time.

Thats a good result from pump 98.

Drove it to the exhaust shop today, what a feeling it was.

At full noise the exhaust sounds almost stock! Driving around in traffic its a bit louder.

Could be registered next week :)

  • 5 months later...

Been a quite hectic last couple of months, thinking I had plenty of time to get ready for Powecruise things went a bit pear shaped after the initial run it.

More later....

Waddya tryin to build up the suspense Dave, spill it already ya beeaartch. :action-smiley-069:

Noel,

I literally need 30 mins to type the never ending saga which is my relationship with this car over the last few months.

Short hand is:

Run in.

Noisy engine bay.

Weird fragments in sump and oil

Engine out

Oil pump rebuilt

Stripped and inspected bottom end

New clutch

New harmonic balancer (modified)

New gears and pulleys (modified)

New thermo fan setup

New complete hot side :)

and a $40 alternator lol

sounds normal to me Dave. :rofl:

We sorted the last major issue today which brought a smile to my face, then one of the oil cooler fittings WELDED to the cooler decided to explode. So off to Earls in the morning to see if I can get a new cooler under warranty.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
