Recommended Posts

I had to come and have a read of this thread as John keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on x 1 billion about this R35..

Nice photo Martin too. I like the silver one. ... black one comes in at close 2nd.

It's a shame the R35 doesn't come in blue though isn't it?

ZOMG - Miss Cheeky - actually posting on SAU :):blush:

Like I have said to John on a number of occasions it is a whole $5k to do a show quality paint job on a brand new car. And rather than detract from resale value, I think it would actually enhance value to have a Bayside Blue one! As I keep saying to John dddddddddddddddddddooooooooooooooooooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttttttttt :P

hahaha Chicks dont know a good car from a barina sportsgirl :)

i often see you on greenhill rd on your way to work next time i see you ill throw a wave out to you one you cant miss :(:)

Yes, John's R33 is a one of a kind.

Its performance, sound and smell (mmmm, petrol) leave a memorable expirience for anyone who gets to be driven in it by John.

It has taken a lot of work (and 4 or 5 engines; I lost the count) to come to this impressive set up.

We are all trying to talk John out of selling the car.

back to the GTR

Does it use a simular 4wd system to attessa or did it change when they introduced the transaxel?

gbox at the rear would need a different set up?

See....its already attracting the chicks! :banana:

As for the R35 disease Erica, I have bad news for you, its only going to get worse in the Munro household as true R35 fever sets in :D

The E85 conversion on his Silver 33 today might keep him quiet for a bit, but it doesnt cure the illness :P

Ooh, alcohol burning... no drinking the fuel John!

I'll be interested to see the results of this one Martin, post a thread if you get the time or inclination.

If the options are limited to, John keeping his R33, or selling it to help with the purchase of a new-ish R35 - I reckon that old R33 wasn't a bad car and hopefully the new owner makes the most of it :D

So .... what sort of figure did you get Martin? Around 350rwkw I hope. Care to post a dyno sheet? :)

If the car/you/Keir are about tomorrow afternoon I might have to come down and go for a spin - work is looking a bit slow so I might have the time :blink:

I'm just around the corner Darren. Will be running it very soon also.

Hope you boys have big squirters, big pump and a fuel reg!

just incase your interested i average about 18ltr/100 up from 14!

Yeh i think i need to upgrade the injectors from 700cc to 1200cc and that its

2x044's is enough and its got the big sx reg. Aslong as theres enough fuel for

550rwkw i will be happy(it made on the last street tune 470rwkw on pump and raced with 450ish before)

cheers

darren

Haven't seen you for a while, Daz. Good to hear the new set-up is coming along. 500-550rwkw on E85 should be very tidy work! I might have to look into E85 for mine - not quite in the same ball park as John and yourself though! I'll be happy with 320rwkw.

I think the R35 still takes the cake as a total package though :P

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
