Hey all,

Just wanted to get some feedback on which would be a better path. I have a HKS 2.8 stroker crank and was worried that the recommended 87mm bore might be pushing it with the 05u block. I know 87mm is pretty safe but I am not going to push ridiculous numbers, around 300kw or so was more building for response some more torque and reliability. To that end maybe going with a 86.5mm bore would be more suited for my application? With the 86.5 bore capacity is 2.73 or close to, with the 87mm its 2.78. If I was going with an N1 block I am sure 87mm would be fine but last thing I want is to strengthen internals only to weaken the block.

Thanks

personally mate for 300kw a stroker kit is a waste of time... just use the std crank chuck in a set or rod and pistons or even stay with stock rods for that matter. and abit of head work if ur keen. should be able to even make that on a std head i would have thought

Thank for the input.

I am going to be running Nismo 581 turbos (group a's) and wanted a bit more capacity for response. Another reason is that I got the crank at a good price and thought it would be better to go with a stroker crank rather then an R33 crank that way I get a bit more capacity and the wider collar. Plus as an added bonus the counter crank should be less likely to cause the oil pump distress. I realise you are right that 300kw can be achived without replacing the crank but it was always going to have to come out of the car to get a collar so why not throw something better in? I was always going to put forged rods and pistons in, now I just have to get some customs pistons made to suit the crank as I don't have the full HKS stroker kit.

Getting off the point here. Was more interested in how well the 05U block would handle a bore of 87mm as opposed to 86.5. I couldn't find anything from HKS about whether their stroker kits where recommended to be run on an N1 block.

The block should be fine at 300kw regardless of bore but it is up to you whether or not you feel 50cc's is worth the small risk. Only early r32 cranks had the narrow collar issue. It was fixed in the later (92+) r32's and all the 33 and 34's are OK. IMO if you got a cheap 2.8 stroker crank why not? Your gonna get power hungry anyway and go for more down the line anyway.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
