yeh, everyone hears up and down reports on every single workshop, its just natural, but they have done everything right by me, even went and picked up the car for me (2hrs away).

ill run it in then go back and get the next lot of goodies, probably buy tess's old car also, and get the body work ready for the motor to be thrown into.

We can't wait to get it off its run-in-tune CJ!! And, the E85 tune :P

Extremely responsive set-up with the 30 bottom end & 35R, we're very happy with how it turned out!

Tess's 32 is still here, it's a complete rolling shell :down:

yeh kudos to trent and the guys :P

going to hookup the boost controller and tune it properly tomorrow. also now running federal 595 RSR's all around.

hope to bring on boost earlier and rev it some more! o and hopfully another 100hp lol.

not sure whats wrong with the clutch, the car didnt even make it onto the dyno, it hasnt even seen 500km's i dont think. nor has it seen any abusive driving.

the gold coast has been in wet weather for the last 2 weeks so iv hardly been able to put any load on the car anyway, so the tyres are acually more slippery then the old nagnkangs i had on there....

dont know whats gone on.... but feeling pretty annoyed... will post photos of the clutch when we get it out.

ok so a few months later... New twin plate in the car, little harder to drive then the Jim Berry but feels good at the moment.

car is sitting on about 490atwhp, just finished driving it from the gold coast to melbourne and back again, EVERY tank of fuel i filled up at 420-440km and the fuel light wasnt on yet... so fairly decent fuel economy for the power it has...

Did a bit of a highway squirt and lost oil pressure at about 7,000rpm in 5th gear... light came on just as i grabed the key to shut it off, just as i went to turn the key pressure came right back up to normal, scared the hell out of me, so now getting rid of the N1 oil pump and putting a ASR 8.5L sump in there with a Nitto oil pump (purely for peice of mind).

also doing a E85 tune and hoping to get close to that 600hp goal i originally wanted, will be a stretch out of the baby 3540 turbo with .86rear...

CJ

ps... anyone on the goldcoast brisbane area own a supersnake mustang 2009+ or a 2010+ srt8??

forgot to mention the fuel side of things...

Twin feed rail

880cc injectors

040 Lift pump

2.5L Surge Tank

2x 044 pumps mounted to the surge tank.

what is that piece in the boot and why do u need it if u don't mind me asking?

Dont ask about the clutch. end of story.

bit of a squirt yes... umm...on track of course.

reason for the road trip...i always wanted to drive my car along the great ocean road... just once, was a great experience but now that it is done i wont be driving that car down there again.

DVS32R - Also tried Filling the Sump up an extra 1L of oil...didnt work.

Riley - because iv gone for a new turbo and E85tune, which was always the plan, so i just had it all ready for when these come along.

ya im just trying to learn/get ideas so i dont even know what that piece in the boot is, i thought it was an external fuel pump. not sure

Yeh its 2x 044 fuel pumps with a 2.5L surge tank.

car just pushed out 630rwhp using the new GTX turbo on e85, still the 35series with a .86rear on it, 27psi.

think thats the max the little .86 rear can do, as we tried 2-3psi more and didnt gain anymore power.

still...630rwhp is a great effort for the baby turbo! big thanks to the guys at mercury! :)

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
