Lee (RB25DETS2) had the same problem with his hks actuator, we tried everything, more gain, more pre-load, just spiked more and more so we ditched it for a 18 psi and it holds perfect now.

Top stuff!

Glad to see more people on E85! Best decision i ever made switching over.

But i have to agree the fuel economy is terrible, at WOP i swear i can see the fuel needle move lol

Totally damn frustrating. Car is ready to go back on the rollers but this fuel still isnt available to us up here and i cant get an answer as to when it will be.

This is Ipswich for gawd sake. Home of willowbank and qld raceway and more tuff streeters than you can poke a stick at.

The market is right here right now.

yeah this e85 is GOOOD stuff...

and the best part is that i have the power of a 3037 with the response of a 2835.... cake and eat it and so on

Sometimes i wish i'd bought the 3037 instead of the GT-RS.

But then i go for a quick spin and forget about it pretty quickly. :wacko:

You sure?

I've never heard of anyone making 280rwkw with a GT-RS on a 25...I thought it was past its capability, but hey, I'd love to be wrong :P

Blitz SBC Spec-R, 18psi but tailing off to about 16 (trying to find the problem)

Don't say that just yet, im gonna damn bloody try once this head gets here :wacko:

And he was/is the only one... i don't believe it was right personally as no-one has come close since

Yeah i swear he must have had a hidden shot of gas somewhere :)

Still, im keen to push mine as far as it can go. Should have every single thing done to it to help it make peak power other than a rebuild. Warlord's was probably the most a GT-RS has been pushed.

Well I had for ages favoured the idea of going GT-RS but eventually went the GT3076R, interesting difference here is I have never looked back :)

Hmm I have had it for >2 years but if I remember rightly around NZ$2k at the time I purchased it. Runs an internal wastegate and is on stock manifold so all RELATIVELY straight forward/cheap to set up.

good result, but I would love to see a graph of what difference it made at the same boost. I know you're saying you couldn't run more boost with the 98RON, but it was only running 14psi at the top end with a spike to 21psi as it ramped onto boost. I would just want to see what gain the fuel itself made. same boost, but with more timing etc it can apparently take. as it is a lot of that gain would be from more boost (more air + more fuel = more power of course), and i'm a bit surprised that the most you could run was 14psi on 98RON.

anyway, enjoy the new power and sweet smelling, cheap fuel. :)

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
