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...

So far it has: Cusco Coilovers fully adjustable, riding on 17"x7" front and 17x8" super advan rims. All stereo components decked out in jaycar kevlar series, Custom parcel shelf, pioneer head unit, 300rms 12" carbon fibre Jaycar sub in a custom box. Painted GT badges black and sprayed red calipers and silver hubs, smoked indicators, Drift pod filter in an enclosed box, 3A racing cannon muffler and 4000k white bulbs.

WANTED:

Nismo front lip for series 2 (refer to the pic below, please pm me if you have it, will pay cash and pickup in Melbourne area.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
