この エンジン わ いくら でした か?

ちょ たかい でしょ、ね? はちじゅまん?

おい!いま わ あなた の インボクス チェク はいやく。

How much did it this engine?

CHOTA? Today, right? YUMAN CHIJI is?

Hey! Now it is your INBOKUSU CHEKU and quickly.

For some reason i dont think that translated correctly.

yeah it should be kono engine wa ikura desu ka? (how much was the engine). cho takai desh yo? (a bit expensive wasn't it?) hachi-ju man yen? (80X10,000 yen?) oi, check your in box.

Dyno sheet, Baron. Dyno sheet.

coming soon. we have some from when it was tuned, but they use an old school bosch chassis dyno which must be measuring power in the german unit for mechanical perfection cause I have no idea how to read the thing. it's farken weird, it looks like it was plotted on special paper, like chart paper with one of those things like they have on lie detectors tests scribbling out some kind of graph!

eventually I'd like to see a nice agressive tune and some cam gear adjustment that would uleash the potential within. :D

That is the greatest thing I have heard all week.

I hope you thrash the crap out of it, that engine is just begging for it!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Does anyone have towel? I may have soiled myself.

Awesome 32 Richard :P

As always thanks for another absorbing thread. Great to see you're taking the time to do the build right.

Love the simple and clean finish you've gone for. I'm a big fan of that style. BTW changing to 34 rims was a smart move, it looks sharp :happy:

I hope you get many km's of joy after all the effort & Yen :ermm:

Cheers

thanks guys, sadly for me I can't in all honesty afford to keep it too long so it will be up for sale soon. hence the reason why it hasn't really been driven in anger by anyone yet, saving that honour for whoever takes it off my hands. we even went to the trouble of getting the rev limit re-set to 3,000rpm before shipping to ensure no-one took it for some un-invited fun! I'm hoping when I do sell it that it will go to someone on the forum or someone I know so I know it's in a good home.

to give an idea of how well this car has been treated we even have two set of floor mats for it! a mint set for just sitting in it and another full set for driving. both genuine nissan mats.

I have a slightly more track oriented GTR with cage, harness, race seat and race suspension set-up and my new engine for it arrives in a week so my focus is back to that for the moment. don't worry though it will be every bit as nice as this one just a little different, but lots of the same parts and know how are going into it.

    • 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
