I bought a wheel and tire package 3 years ago and I have no idea what those rims are apart from they fits. lol

Any way. quick update. This is our latest VNT turbine system using a ball bearing SS2 core. I don't have a high speed camera so this footage was taken with a air blower meter away from the turbine housing with VNT nozzles engaged and disengaged at low shaft speed. Notice the change in shaft speed with VNT nozzles engaged.


Will be testing it next week when Trent has time, and hopefully I will get stock response with 370rwkws.

This is a dyno reading sent from a customer in Sweden using a older model ATR43G3 in .82 type A rear. made 477rwhp on pump 98 fuel.

Its got ebay manifold that holds the turbocharger in stock position, internally gated with all the bolton bits.

Can't understand their language, details are at:

I don't think any part of this package would survive on 40psi, been told its running 20psi.

Well that sheet shows about 280kpa or 40 psi. I guess that's why peak torque is a little late at 6k? Seems to be at 20psi just before 4k which is normal. Interesting

It's saying absolute pressure, it's running about 175kpa gauge pressure so 26-27psi

Thats my tire pressure. ;)

We were in Heathcote again today. The car's having some issues, I might have installed the new fuel pump too high as it had fuel surging issues, gear stick snapped out, and since the new tyres gripped lot hard the diff seems to let loose. Its occasionally doing one wheel launch. Not sure which diff to get yet.

Over all we did end up with 4 good runs and the best one was 12.26 with 124.76 M/H

The tire shop pumped my tires to 40psi. We first dropped it to 26psi, then further down to 16psi which it grip the most.

It started to rain in the afternoon, so the day ended early. will post some videos later on.

Felt that on the way back. the car skits heavily to one side. He did mention about welding them together. or not sure if there is any one whom can modify stock diff to make them stronger.

Alternatively I was thinking buying a kaaz diff. not sure which one is better to get 1.5 or 2 way? It is a road car and I do drive a fare distance testing new turbos, I still want it to handle smoothly on road.

The cheapest way to get extra lock without welding is to pull the diff apart and replace the worn out shims with slightly thicker ones, which can be bought from Nissan. It can feel like a welded diff afterwards for some time though which is a huge PITA when you're driving around normally, but now you get powah to both wheels :P

welded diff will handle fine as long as you keep driving straight :P

Also the shims for the diff cost about $14 from nissan with 2 week wait if they have to come from japan. Add the cost of diff oil in and its a fairy cheap way of having a nice tight diff.

    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
    • It sounds farrrrrrr too cold at your place Duncan... Here I was thinking our 10 degrees overnight is getting cold...
    • oh yeah, reminded this morning....bin lids frozen shut too
    • In my case not, because of total reno. But yeah.
