True and not true

EFI up the road bolted a GT47R to the side of a stock internal CA a few weeks back. It did probably 100 dyno pulls at 36psi and a handful prior to that at 48psi.

Ended up bending a rod at 516rwhp but they threw some more cast pistons in it and went to Al's dyno day the following day.

Still going at 36psi.

I've got video if anyone wants to see it

f**k man stock engine :D

keen on vid :P

Always thought the ca18's were tuff as and could put the figures out still. Fastest 4 cylinder 180sx in japan was powered by a ca18det for years. f**ks me what's happened to it recently but thats going back 4 or 5 years ago. Good motor's but I'd still go the sr20, better after market support. And besides how else would you get that tractor noise? This is interesting though:

Puts out around 480hp atw.... Stanard internals and n/a camshafts. Was construced for shits and giggles by efi.

On another note, what's goin on tonight jewrats?

You turbo junkies. I have no f**king idea what you guys are going on about with those turbo models. All I know is T88 and T04. Dont even ask me the brand cause I dont know if its HKS or Garrett or Ling Long!

Damn you elite one, beating me to the punch and all.... Btw, I just picked up those sway bars. $300 for front and rears, a cusco rear tension bar, cusco brake stopper and catch can. Spose it's alright...

I thought I told you on sms. You, me and Colin for now. Unless Michael decided to man up for the dinner. After that we'll head down to Chapel. Adam puss out and decided he want just ice cream. 6:15 at the carpark opposite market square, the corner near the lights, next to school (you know where).

Didn't know times and shit bro-ski... My friend with the s15 is going to a party down the coast. Pretty sure he said he was going to buy panadol, scrape the panadol emblem off and sell them as ''eccies'' down the coast to schoolies

730 tonight at chapel hil baskins i believe man

cheers mate, tonight is no good. is this every thursday you meet up? what if skyline isnt running? can we rock up in any car or is it frowned upon?

NO SKYLINE = NO ICECREAM!

:P

They let John (Isola) rock up in an array of various vehicles, so you will be right!

:D

hi all, im new to this thread. Came across this thread title and as im from the brookfield area, i would love a chance to meet up with people in the hood so to speak. do you guys meet up regularly? sorry there are over 500 pages of chit chat and cbf reading it all. if any guys (or gals) in the area would like to meet up to friendly talk skylines, please drop me a pm! would love to meet you guys (and gals)

Happens every week Thursdays at 7:30ish. Come in anything you can. We had a few weeks earlier in the year when mine was the only skyline there out of about 10 of us lol

Every Thursday mate. Whatever floats your boat. Doesnt have to be a skyline. We've got tractors and shopping trolleys too.

that was sexy

Absolutely deafening in person too....

    • 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
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
