Was going to post this in the forced induction section, but I doubt "story telling" will be favoured by the mod's.

Car's been off the road for the good part of a year (September).

Built motor (standard capacity), .84 t04z & fair bit of weight-loss .. looking for 400+ kw.

Yet to score a ride in a t04z powered R, or anything single turbo'd to match (been in a t88).

So if any owner's want to share their experience's..

How it feels, adrenaline factor, how it come's on etc etc.... Just trying to butter myself up for the future.. Shouldn't be much more then a month away.. Great deal of time, money & sleep less nights involved during the build up... Hope it lives up to my expectations ;):thumbsup: :thumbsup: me up..

TO4Z does feel quick when they come on. The rush is very cool.

With that said, for a car that does anything other than circuits with a lot of flowing corners, i think you'll find the GT35R or twins a better matched setup for stock capacity :P

Yeah i know its been done to death, he's trying to revive it it seems :P

Tomek; The T04Z is a great turbo, feels very strong when hard on, and has no problem turning tyres hard or netting a big number on a dyno. Ive given a quite fast GTR (t04z, rb26) a good hard drive on multiple occasions, road, twisty hills etc - in the twisty stuff you'll crave either a smaller AR or more capacity to bring it on earlier. Normal street driving, well to be honest, youll be thinking the same things. Like i said, in an environment where the car is flowing from corner to corner without losing too much speed you'll love it. What sort of power are you realistically going to be seeing from the car after its run in and tuned?

GT3582R would be a better "big single" for a stock 26 but it will be exciting... once it comes on boost

Far from stock :P

Yes, I did start the previous thread, not trying to revive it.. Didn't post it in the forced section because I have completed all my research and know what to expect "Spec" wise.. there is only so much "specs" can tell you.. This thread was more of a gimme the warm sensation details... You don't spend so much time, effort & money to just wait for it.. Like I said it's getting sooner to completion and im getting excited..

Looking for 420+ and will see how much leeway is in it to get more, but not overly fussed.

What was this car doing atw before the rebuild?

Got a basic list of parts for the build?

This part is the worst of it all, well to be honest the worst part is the night before its first power run :)

The car was making 237.9kw (Didn't have access to an 4wd dyno) The engine was running fine when it was removed, we decided to pull it out when we couldn't remove one of the high pressure line bolts on the turbo system, lol.. it was only meant to be a budget freshen up, (pistons, bearings, gaskets, n1 pumps) but it scaled up quickly.

05U block 20 thou over HKS pistons, eagle rods, 33 crank, Trust pump, acl bearings, HKS gaskets

worked head, new everything.. 262 cams, greddy cam gears

Ross balancer, trust oil cooler + relocater, cooling pro 100mm cooler, trust radiator, n1 water pump

2x 044 pumps + standard as lift, surge tank, 800cc injectors, nismo fuel reg

jjr coil packs + HKS twin spark

Link G4 controlling the show

Im sure their is more i've missed, but pretty much every corner is seen to and did my best to not skimp on parts.. standard box atm..

It was sent down to Advan, who did the machining :) It has all the little tricks to keep it reliable (orifice, drain, sump)

worst part being? worrying it will pop? shit yeah :P

Some good stuff in there.

Dont worry about the stock box, mines on the stock box with a stupidly short shifter and i work it through the gears - just dont miss 3rd and it should be fine :cool:

    • 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.
