Hey everyone!

My GTR's back on the road with a respectable power figure now, and ive got a lot of people to thank who have helped in either a small, or a huge way to the rebuilding of my car - so here's the list in no particular order;

Norm

Norms parents

Amy

Slide

Steve (UK)

Andrew (Hearne)

Andrew (Norms mate)

Sh@un

Dave TO4GTR

Anna

Nathan (DRIFTER) 02 Autosports

Greg Autosport engineering

All the guys at Powerplay

South coast rotary (thanks heaps junior!)

Simon and John Westmore for all the welding and tricky bits

Rocket Industries

LJ

Angry Liz

Jess

Victor

Nick (INTUNE)

Duncan

If there's anyone ive missed im sorry - its been a very long build!

So - the result? 476hp at the wheels on 21psi. Stock cams and cam gears not dialled in

Really, really nice to drive, its not a pig or a dyno queen . Its pulls very hard from 3800rpm to 7000rpm where the revcut is set to, so its sort of like the stock twin turbo setup but more power and more torque.

On the way home last night it had zero traction in first, second AND third (remember, its awd). Last night on the highway, in 3rd gear, up a hill, on semi's - it had no traction whatsoever......and i love it! Shaun will no doubt post up what he thought in detail.

Next step is to add the big brakes, drop in some cams, dial in the cam gears then do the gearbox.

Smoky: You've got no chance, sorry ;)

Well worth the wait, See you all at the track on Saturday :mage:

congrats stevo

i wnna be just like YOU!

wait...

i want to have a car just like yours!

*caugh*bullshit*caugh*bullshit*caugh*

I don't see my name up there?? I'm pretty sure I've picked up old parts for you? haha!

I feel unloved

They're coming, ill do a decent photo shoot soon

Any chance you will be giving out the odd passenger lap on Saturday?

Yeah dont see why not, there's a few people keen to have a lap or two. Come up and say hi, wont be hard to miss

lol, sif put you on the list! You havnt helped, you've hindered :)

Bring your helmet on saturday ;)

EDIT: Ill ring you after work and ill come round quickly

You want to go in a car with 350rwkws with a driver who has been driving a stock supra and stock commodorre for the last 2yrs?

You are insane!

BTW - what made you choose SCR for the tune? Did your engine builder suggest them?

Oi, no laps for you / soup nazi voice

Ive driven it for a few weeks before stepping up to bigger power.

SCR tuned it the first time it was tuned, they dont just do the job, they ask if you're happy before doing anything, explain everything in detail, ask exactly what i want done, dont mind me watching what they're doing, and they open when i need them open - plus they're great guys down there, really friendly and helpful. So it was back to them for this tune, and the next one (whenever that is) will be there

Yeah dont see why not, there's a few people keen to have a lap or two. Come up and say hi, wont be hard to miss, ill be the one getting lapped :D

Yeah i figured that, but what made you choose them in the first place? after all SCR stands for South Coast Rotaries. not South Coast RB's :D

:happy:

lol, my car is faster in the wet than yours will ever be in the dry :)

Im coming around to yours tonight, its on biatch!

Nice work Stevo, got the new bonnet over the mighty 30 yet? picsorban?

Nah mate :(

Looks like a z tune vent will be the go - tried a CF one and tried a fibreglass one but thats a no go on both! Very suprised the CF one didnt fit

Yeah i figured that, but what made you choose them in the first place? after all SCR stands for South Coast Rotaries. not South Coast RB's :P

I went there for the first tune cause they were the closest from the place i picked the car up from when it had the first "batch" of mods done, and they worked out for this tune aswel - perfect timing and great service, cant say no to that!

What happened??

congrats on getting the car back on the road :)

how long has it been?

Rings on number 6 were stuffed, heaps of blow by under long periods of hard load (eg the straight at OP GP) and the oil kept on being sent out the dipstick, when we pulled it down it was a good thing we did, bearing on 6 was about to let go

Been a tad over 2 years

Lazy.

I was so lazy i bought a twin turbo supra to keep me happy in the interim cause it was easier to spend 20k on a supra than 20k on gtr parts.......but still bought the gtr parts

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
