I think I found the solution, they have a fitting similar in a way to what you've said. I've been meaning to swing by MSCN for the last few days but haven't had the time.

Hows your R34 build? Texi ready? (secretly hoping, I love watching you belt the shit out of the courses at Texi haha)

thats good to hear.

going slowly, finally got the oil pump last week and now trying to figure out how I'm going to do the external feed to it and keep the aircon. otherwise all thats left after that is the harmonic balancer, electric oil pump and the braided lines for turbos,breathers,pump and cooler. still a ways off yet

hahaha yeah texi, not this one unfortunately but was going to PM you about maybe helping out, but won;t know till closer to the day. wanting on a answer about a job in Gladstone

Mates 34 gtr

2.7 litre nitto motor

T51r kai

Vipec ecu

All the support goodies

600rwkw on E85

Granted its not anything as good as r35, I know this first hand haha

At what boost was this? Ill guess over 30psi?

Yep, AMS Alpha 12 kit. Minimum boost possible is 23psi. In the states they have the same kit running 30+ psi and they're pushing out around 970Kw at the wheels, crazy stuff.

out of interest and something I've always wanted to find out, what power level can the r35 take before it starts to break things and become unreliable?

I know the answer the answer is reliant on the mechanical sympathy u have for the car, surely there is a happy medium though :)

i remember reading somewhere people were finding 600-650hp were pushing the limit of the standard rods? but that probably relates to motorsport applications, rather than street cars i would assume.

not much different than rb rods?

With all due respect though, would you run 600cc injectors in your 650hp car just because they will probably 'be ok'?

Everything will suffer mechanical failure due to stresses eventually. There is no point putting a limit on them because at the price of a set of Spool rods, it's not even worth discussing their limit

not much different than rb rods?

:huh: given GTR rods have been proven to hold more, one would say yes - but end of the day who knows.

This is the 400rwkw thread, not the "what is the weakest part of a R35" thread.

Gtr rods are strong yes in rb's, I agree

Yes r35 is off topic but it sure qualifies in the over 400kw thread

GTR rods are strong. No the rod bolts aren't. For the $100 changeover in price it's stupid to even consider staying standard.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
