Nice, We did that for my RB25 for my old 32 and for Annas SR20...so much easier than getting one built yourself! And cheaper too, My 25 cost me 4000 bucks and the SR cost 800 and a pair of brembos for a R33 GTR ha ha

I couldnt find a decent 26 for reasonable money ( one guy wanted 50k for a RB28 WTF?) so i ended up having to get Dan to build me one, it takes so much longer but i guess at least this time i know who built it!

@ martin:

sorry i missed that,

why JDM garage?

rebuilt sr and more goodies :ninja:

what happened man?

It'll probably be a CA with SR painted on it.

The 25 NEO they sold me was not a NEO. std head on NEO block (ie no NEO benefits AT ALL). Played all innocent when I confronted em and claimed they'd bought the head from some other shop thinking it was a NEO head. Gave up in the end, not worth fighting over.

actually a semi epic reply lol. for once.

Nice job

Lawd above! Hey one 'undred an' thirty emo son of rajab Fauntleroy get yaaahr SR on da frod an' toad so we gok wan get some drift acshun going., innit.

far canal martin. Is this what you feel like waiting for me lol?

yeh totally worth it :ninja:

so now the 180 will have a fresh 0km sr in her :)

ps rb2.8 = porn

sweet! 0km is the way to go! Word of advice....we ran in annas on the dyno, took 2 hours it was so worht it because driving around doing run ins blows

RB28s are porn....but not for nearly twice the price that a os giken RB30 would cost me

yeh part of the deal is dyno time once its in to make sure all timing is correct etc etc :)

dont think about the $$ think about the :ninja:

I wasn't driving ;)

Heres how I see it: I will happily go for a spirited drive through the mountains. This can involve breaking the law, but its a stupid law that doesn't help anyone (ie stupidly low speed limits). I do it for the enjoyment of the drive, and always follow 1 rule: 7 tenths. Stick to your lane, stick to your limits, enjoy yourself. ANY form of street racing, whethere its initial D style through the mountains, or 2F2F city racing, or hektik high speed M1 runs, is DANGEROUS. Its a race, so theres no 7/10ths: its all out. Thats human nature - we want to win. So theres no margin for error, and when it goes wrong its going to go horribly wrong. This type of driving is ALWAYS dangerous, and should not be done anywhere near the street. The people who say its not their business how someone else drives, wait till that someone else kills someone you love being a d1ckhead. This is what racetracks are for. We have 2 great ones in SE QLD, it doesnt cost that much, and you can go all out and know that worst case the only people going to suffer are yourself, and other people who HAVE WILLING CHOSEN to be in the same situation. At QR you can go at 11 tenths and when you f*ck up, most likely the car will come out unscathed and you can have a good laugh at it. If brown stains on your pants are more your style, give lakeside a go.

Same applies to street drifting. Drifting is great fun, but the nature of it is that it is controlled unstability: Its just not safe to do it on the street where you could lose it at any time. Do it on the track.

Summed it up much better than I am able to. Thank you kind sir.

Good stuff :ninja: Will be awesome once you get it back ;)

oh true was the them! :)

arif is helping me out - so hopefully should be ok *fingers crossed*

http://www.otomoto.com.au/osgiken/RB30_race_engine.htm Bottom ends are like $26k? Would end up similar to an OS Giken RB30 in price with the 30 probably costing more. Not saying it's worth 50k but I reckon a lot of people would go close building a balls to the wall stroker 26 with all the labour n ancillaries etc.

dont think about the $ think about the :ninja:

Its all about the lulz.

thats where its at!

after walking round Surfers I revise my previous statement. It's all about the lulz and the bitches.

Woah... just came back from lunch and there 3pages worth! WTF?!

Anyway I'm not defending anybody I'm plainly state facts. Didnt I mention that I agree baskin was poor form by them? I see the reason why EFI was there that night as trying to back Dan up with all the shit he's been getting from someone in particular. But then again it still doesn justify ruining a regular meet.

Time to get back to the reports and minutes!

It's all about the lulz and the bitches.

love it

pure goldd

its how I live my life. A quarter of a mile at a time for the lulz and bitches.

ask any racer, any real racer..

its not how you race your car, its how you do it for the lulz and bitches

</SUP>

For Adam, quote is from wikipedia(not uber reliable) but I'm fairly sure it's right. Although I thought nissan sold the R32 GTR in the UK for Group A racing but I could be wrong. Could be that Australia is the only other country to have factory delivered R32s. Every other skyline outside of Japan is an import though.

Believe it or not but those dirty poms got 100 r34 gtr's delivered....not like they'd know how to drive the things though. Aus got the r32's though.

unfortunately bro i think thats the best/only option ;)

I agree with this. If it's doing it more often in the heat then it may not be fuel pump related....

I thought EFI slaggin was over now that Redbum is gone due to his epic fail attempt of taking over the performance car industry ?

I lol'd...

I let very few people touch my car. Dan @ ERD is in with a chance (based on reccomendations from people I trust), when I eventually get sick of my b*stard noisy lifter :P
Dan is very good, especially with that type of mechanical fault, also builds a mean engine!
Erm... in the middle of the night... Erm... chance of accident.... Erm.... going around corners at 120km... Chance of accident. You work it out yourself.

Dan's car is an example. Other than the fact that it took a couple of weeks. But at least at the end there's no problem at all. + I've already realised a lot of things are out of the control of the mechanics/workshops (parts taking longer to arrive, bolts round, crossthreaded). No job is perfect. You would have thought fitting a cat and front pipe to my car is only a 15-30mins job but it took more than an hour cause the front pipe and dump pipe section was seized up. Oh not to mention SOMEBUM told me its only a couple of hours job to change my dumps on the hoist. Imagine if I did believe that, I would be paying 1 or 2days worth of labour as compared to a couple of hours.

Anyway enough of my ranting. If I'd the same problem as you do, and if Dan recommend I go to EFI, I'll go there. The recommendation these people gets are a testimony to the work they do.

Oh yea, after yesterday, I'll recommend Gavin Wood to anyone for tuning too!

Dan at ERD is literally the only person I'd let touch my car. He's like the Yoda of car's, if yoda and chewie had a lovechild. Rare thing about him too is his honesty. For example my spigot was rooted so I organised to get a new clutch in. I get a phone call from Dan an hr after dropping it off telling me that the clutch in there atm is basically new and presented me with the options to keep the one in there and replace what's needed or continue on with the replacement. I went ahead with the npc street anyways cos I'm wanting big power down the line, but say if I wasn't, I could have saved $400 odd dollars. Bastard makes one mean coffee too although I've been told to not let him know this hahaha.

Mecury reminds me of the club in the city.

You is so asian Brandon :down:

I've never understood the EFI opinion tbh. Everyone I've spoken to is happy with the work and speaking to whitey before the Baskins meet and at the SAU dyno etc he comes across as a nice guy who knows what he's talking about. Vouches from Dan, Noel, Anna n Andy etc says a lot about the work they do.

:ninja:

I understand this and agree but I am in no position to critisise how anybody else drives on the road whether it is illegal etc since I have a pretty horrendous driving record. Although I can justify each situation n fine and will argue the point I was putting nobody in danger but myself it's still dangerous and it's still illegal.

As I said still dangerous n illegal but I couldn't care less if other people want to race down the M1. Their choice.

The main issue I had with all the EFI crew when they came to baskins is they didn't come over n introduce themselves or talk to anyone else bar their own little group. It annoyed me and I spose it goes both ways but still...

+1 for the dirty mexican lol

Fairly sure that's a stab at John and I. Leisurely drive through the mountains at 3am in the morning but still I won't defend it I know it's wrong but I won't stop doing it. Well after Sunday I will...for awhile :)

Nah definetely not defending us lol ;) N don't give me the thumbs down you were there to!

Brandon and I went to the efi dyno day. Pretty sure colin rocked up too. The actual people in charge there were great and everything was done professionally. A week before hand I spoke with a guy named Rick on the phone to enquire about a nistune for my car. The dude knew his shit and was a top guy to talk to. I'll be going there to get my work done. In saying all of that though, I get the feeling that some of their 'helpers' on the dyno day fit the boost losers category which may explain the skids and stuff.

after walking round Surfers I revise my previous statement. It's all about the lulz and the bitches.

don't you mean lulz and jail bait bitches?

    • 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.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
