Correct Lith, it is a twin scroll setup. I keep looking up sleeves for hidden cards but at this stage it is showing remarkedly similar boost characteristics to the 35r single entry. Its only running gate spring pressure at this stage but until the gate starts open on spring pressure the curve is identical.

Waiting on a wide band sensor to arrive and then we'll hook the boost control up and go to town on it.

Pretty happy budgie so far.

Will it only be run using E85 Noel? Or is a petrol tune being done too?

Nice result so far! :)

Any ETA on that? Surely it cant take long

Sensor was ordered from south this morning Steve. should get here monday/tuesday.

As soon as Sean has a spare spot he will throw it back on the rollers. I think he's quite keen to see where this goes as well.

At this stage its e85 only Mike, However the way it drinks the stuff I may be forced to run a separate 98 unleaded tune. I renamed the car "sugar daddy"

Thats not too surprising then, I'd have expected the 3788R to be a few hundred RPM laggier all things being equal, and a good twin scroll manifold drags things down a few hundred rpm (also tend to help low down/ midrange torque quite a bit too - on top of boost threshold). This is one of the reasons I've considered a twin scroll GT3582R as an upgrade over my single entry GT3076R, I've said before I have a strong suspicion it'd result in a similar drive in terms of building boost but with the ability for more power pretty much everywhere.

It will be interestingt to hear the power results and more importantly, how it drives - could be brutal ;)

If you changed nothing else but went from single scroll to twin scroll (both with good aftermarket manifolds) would the twin scroll make more peak power as well? or does it primarily only assist with low down/midrange power when coming onto boost?

Maybe slight gains up high if you go to a bigger a/r housing than the single entry one, big the real tangible gains are midrange and coming up onto boost - bearing in mind thats for a given boost level, so because it spools faster as well the perceived spool and response will usually be better than what the boost curve would imply... if that makes sense?

Interesting indeed.

On dyno/loaded/4th i take it?

No, that's on the street. Sean had a 20psi boost cut and a 4200rpm cut. I was hitting boost cut at 3900 in 4th. This was pre tune though, the timing will effect how the boost comes on so we'll see if it makes any difference.

Has it got bigger cams? On E85 I'd have thought >500whp on E85 would be a piece of piss anyway... a stock RB30/RB25 head wouldn't really gain much without some head fettling. On the flipside, with some big cams and that turbo - 20psi will justify the turbo but 600+whp would probably be the order of the day haha.

It does have bigger cams Lith. 10.25 270 degree tomeis. The head has had a lot of attention in a minimalist kind of way. given we made 555 with the 35 on a .82 housing I have no doubt we could dial in pretty much anything up to around 6/650 hp if thats what we were chasing.

Nice achievement so far! Going to be a weapon with mid 500hp Noel. You will be buzzing tires like crazy!

Hoping we might finally have it right Mike. Its been a long hard road achieving the numbers with the 35r but it looks like all that trial and error may have cleared the path for the current setup.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
