Hi guys,

Sorry for not keeping everyone informed of build progress.

I have had to change my mind on running LPG for the moment.

I can't get liquid LPG injectors or tank for my application.... Yet.

I ditched the Automatic. It really wasn't going to be up for it. The controller alone was $1500+ then the box rebuild $$$$.

Have fitted a Z32 300zx VG30DETT 2nd hand $750 manual gearbox, with a moly flywheel $450 and button clutch. $700

Made custom handbrake adapter plate, to join HR31 to R33 cables, with adjustment.

Modified inlet manifold to twin 60mm RB20DET throttle bodies.

Tailshaft made, one piece 3in with GTR CV joint on diff end.

One dump pipe with slip joint on the external gate complete. tight fit. other under way.

A/C compressor made it back in.

Intercoolers welded together and mounted.

Trying to source a Toyota Sw20 MR2 electric power steering pump. Anyone????

Stage one fuel pump installed for std 370cc injectors and emission testing purposes. std injectors will flow to 500hp.

Stage 2 will be twin 044's and 740cc VG30DETT nismo enough for 850+ hp.

Exhaust system will have twin FG FPV euro 3 (4??)cat convertors to pass ADR test.

Engine is out at the moment as I have to get another manual box adapter made for a conversion into an S13 180sx with an NA VH45DE.

All brake lines now made by Motorsport connections, ADR approved.

DS2500 Ferodo pads fitted.

And that's about it for the moment.

I'll post pics soon.

Thanks and sorry for not keeping everyone up to date.

Mark.

Hi and sorry for no updates.

I have the Skyline running now and with an initial tune.

I will be taking it to Powercruise in Feburary 2010.

Here is a link to my website

http://www.mrcdyno.com.au/

and to a VH45 specific forum called Nico club.

http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/4696...ine-45psi-boost

Its only running 6 psi so far, 310 rwKw.

Still tuning it in my spare time.

Thanks,

My goodness. That car is Boner. Pure Boner.

Funny you mention the R31 is replacing an XR6T. The dyno graph looks eerily similar to a lot of the graphs you see for modded XR6T's running BPU's.

Scarily yours is running about the same boost as a stock one, and is in a car that's around 400 kilos lighter at Full interior weight.

Mad props yo.

Jesse

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
