Cheers Andrew..Yeah mate its bloody good to finally see it all together, its about 3 weeks shy of 1 year since I dropped the N1 block off and the whole build began but one can really see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just got a few more things to bolt on, injectors,fuel rail, the 2 month wait hose and few little odds and ends and all done.

The plenumn needs a few mods to get it all to fit flus some pipe fabrication for intake from intercooler. Got to than Paul Dirt Garage for his input and pics as well as Ross (Giant) , thanks fellas !

I'll try get some better close up pics of the plenumn mods on the weekend but you can see the fitting we welded in for air sensor.

Clutch was normal Super Coppermix Twin plate rated at 570ps/493kw but has been fitted with Super Coppermix Twin Competition Model clutch cover and modified and now rated to 780ps/574kw so should ample to handle power output. Be interesting to see if there is ant difference in pedal feel.

Also picked up a bit of a suprise a month or so back. Brand spanking new, in the box GT500 Engine block which I'll be bringing back to oz next year!! I'll put up some pics of that puppy soon.

Marko..

Originally we were going for an easy 600ps around 440kw by my calculator(http://www.locost7.info/converter.php) but guys reckon we should get closer to 650ps (470 odd kw) but whatever it should be plenty.

More pics to come later .......

head looks good. same as mine basically. removed squish pads on one side. gives a compromise between response (you loose a little) but you can run more timing/boost with less detonation without them. looks very nicely done. :(

Those pics were before polishing was even finished.

Thanks for moving the post :)

Well off to Nismo Festival and Nagoya for a week of debauchery !!

Everything with the engine should be finished by the time I get back and time to fire it up !! Cant wait!1

Only thing we are waiting on is some silicon hoses from Samco.

  • 2 weeks later...

Well as per usual while I was away at Nismo festival there were a few hiccups with a delay on hoses and couple of gremlins and the fact that 4 customers decided they wanted engine rebuilds done by xmas that has seen the car not completed yet but should be fired up Tues or Wed this week fingers crossed.

Heres some pics on work to date !!

The end is near!!

New BOV

dea9b475.jpg

Hopefully in the coming week I can throw up some completed pics.

Out of interest would like to hear peoples opinion on running the HKS BOV.

The HKS guys reckon the standard GTR's leak slightly and they want to run to Atmo but going to run plumbed in so hopefully dont get defected back in oz and could not stand hearing a loud pssshhht all bloody day long.

Opinions on aftermarket Bov, + or - welcomed

im not sure about hks bov's but i do know that factory gtr bov's are well and up for the task on big hp setups

where is dirtgarage (aka gtr wikipedia) when u need him?

Yeah I wanted to stick with the standard but they swear they leak and over here everyone seems to run aftermarketand to atmo.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. it's easy to change. rather than p1ss them off by telling them everyone in aus reckons run standard plumb backs just run whatever they recommend. if you hate it or have problems down the line it's not a big deal to change back to a standard type set-up or just buy a trust type R which work great either plumb back or vented to atmosphere. I have run both ways and never had a problem with either. my last GTR making around 330rwkw ran standard and the current one runs twin blitz ones vented to atmosphere and both set-ups work fine.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
