what mods you got mate?

HSD Coilovers

Strut bars

Poliurithane bushes throughout

Clutch

Fixed back bucket

32 GTR rims

CAI

Headers and full exhaust + cat guts punched out

Lightened driveshaft

Advanced timing

Then random things like steering wheel, gear knob..

Front disks are on their way out so here I come slotted and drilled + Ghetto brake duct mod!

Hahah really?

Man i have seen 1 R32 aye.. and it was a white GTR.

I never see any lines when im down at work :(

yeah i see it when im leaving work on lane cove just before epping road haha

how much power is your car putting out GTS4WD ?

nice mods :D

Gave my automobile a wash today and decided to take a few of pics of it

Needs a new set of wheels desperately, looking for 33gtr's

Looking nice and clean. If you do go for new wheels consider offset as one of your highest priorities. I clean mine maybe once a month lol, she's rough as so I really cbf.

how much power is your car putting out GTS4WD ?

nice mods :)

Cheers mate,

Id be surprised if it pulls 110kw at all fours..

I rather save the money id spend on a dyno jut to be disapointed :D

A little more power would be nice though :)

BTW: ShanO' nice 34!.. Theres something about four doors that just looks PHAT!

Heres my muppet, was untidy in this picture, hasn't had any external love for a while, though it's lined up for a full body respray, in a similar blue, bit more metallic, brighter pearl, etc.

mods are RB30DE (25/30) don's old engine, pulled 151rwkw as it was (with only a couple changes - a/f mix, timing, y piece). Now nothing like that, whole engine has been appart, head done, cams adjusted, mines ecu, fujitsumoto (sp) 3" extractors and mandrel exhaust, fpr, bosch 023 pump, 370cc injectors, AFC neo, increased compression to 11.5:1 running methanol blend. (thats as it was at the drags) Engine currently undergoing a deck shave to as far as possible, to hopefully take CR up to 12.5-13:1, removing hot spots etc. Combining this with full time water/meth injection, and a microtech ecu - for pump fuel and high ign timing and compression and lean a/f mixtures, plus a 90mm tb and ff plenum with cold air ram straight from the plenum through where the battery normally sits (wont get heated by exhaust etc) plenum is insulated to stop heat soak from coolant, and has an insulated spacer plate as well, so it is always icy cold... Car has temp controlled elec thermo fan, 52mm triple core alloy radiator, silicon + high temp/pressure hoses with hd clamps for high pressure. Still trying to decide on whether or not its worthwhile balancing the bottom end atm, i don't think it was ever done, the engine pulls hard and peaks at about ~ 6200rpm, and holds power until 7000rpm (where i wont rev it any further). It'll be a costly exercise to sent it away for proper balancing - still weighing yay or nay. I ultimately want to hit 250rwhp, which should easily be achievable i think.

other mods... interior's pretty schmicko, its a Ti so blue velor and full electrics, with manual conversion. It has Excedy HD organic clutch and billet steel flywheel, RB20DET gearbox, singlepeice tailshaft, 3.9 diff gears on locked diff, stock rims and tyres (for now, got some nice 16" BBS meshies on the way, cant wait) and stiff customs springs and shocks (and custom struts) full polyurethane bushes through out, HD front and rear sways and strut brace, weight has been moved around a bit, car sticks like shit to a blanket, it out handles me on the road (even with stock rims, good tires) - meaning it'll corner faster than i want to. Runs slotted and cross drilled DBA4000 disks and green stuffs pads with braided brake lines, never let me down, i'm not a fan of un-necessary braking power, It'l out power any tyres i give it and never experienced fade, the day i do ill upgrade. (bigger heavier brakes kill acceleration).

Drags it only got a low 14, only had a couple runs and temp was an issue (had to wind a lot of timing out of it and a lot of fuel into it) plus i couldn't get traction on take off, first gear was only good for ~ half throttle clutch slip. I've now got some exchange rear struts with taller soft springs and reasonable shocks for some squat for traction (combined with better wheels/tires) for a while down the track when it see's the strip again.

hah, cheers - yeah I've got some vids, nothing decent though

this one was filmed by the other guy at the drags, i just randomly found it on youtube. Its a test and tune drag day, and thats what i was doing, it was a hot day, and on my first run i heard detonation, so this is my second run, where i wound the timing back to ~ 5 degrees BTDC (retarded) and increased fuel a bit too much (esp in top end as you can see), i short shifted third and the car just bogged right down, thus the bad time. - Car had to sit in line for like 15mins which killed the temp on the bad cooling/intake system.

This one was filmed by my drunk girlfriend (lol dont ask) on her phone, i must have nicked the indicator (cant hear much with helmet) so i didn't realize it was on, lol - got it half way down the strip... This was one of my quicker runs, and was after lunch, the car had been left to cool a bit, had between 5-10 degree's ignition timing and still pretty rich

I love the first vid noise, you can hear how tame the engine is, half throttle and it just holds the revs perfect, mmm.... miss driving her...

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
