Hi All,

I've had a few members ask me about the progress on my rb26/30 build for my R32GTR so i thought i'd add this thread.

I started my research back in late 08, got the ball rolling in feb 09 & after 4 months i have reached my destination with 350km on the clock. As they say, good things come to those who wait (i hope).

Here are my specs:

'NISSAN' rb30 block (note the word 'NISSAN' not holden or forklift hehe)

RB26 head porting by ProEngines (over 10 hours)

match ported exhaust manifolds by ProEngines

Garrett low mount -10's (combined rating @ 920hp)

RIPS custom sump (extended with baffles)

RIPS diff adapter plate

RIPS oil pick up

RIPS inspired modified catch can (return to sump)

JUN crank collar

ACL race bearing set

Cometic head gasket

Mahle piston & ring set

Argo rods

Camtech/Kelford billet cams (a bit of NZ flavour)

Performance valve springs (a bit of Aust flavour)

ARP main/head studs

N1 oil/water pump

HKS intercooler (120mm?)

Sard fpr

Bosch 044 lift pump with 2 external Bosch 044's & surge tank

PFI dual entry fuel rail (to accommodate larger 14mm entry injectors)

Delphi Rochester 1000cc injectors

Ross Metal Jacket harmonic balancer

OS Giken cam gears

Jim Berry 4000lbs race clutch (good timing whilst the engine was out, twin & triple plate was doing my head in)

Nismo engine/gearbox mount kit (good timing whilst the engine was out)

Blue silicone heater/intercooler/radiator hose kit (good timing whilst the engine was out)

52mm dual core alloy radiator

Power FC

My run-in tune results came to 270.9awkw @ 6500rpm on 10psi (cams are still set @ 0). My goal was to crack over 400awkw with strong midrange delivery, after i do my run-in km's with higher rev limit, boost & set cams im sure this will be achievable :(

i am also contemplating with running E85, my tuner suggested "lets see what we get with 98 then make a decision"

Just a quick thanks for the following people who put me in the right direction & put up with my indecisive 'qualities':

RIPS (Rob Ward)

ProEngines (Greg)

Dirtgarage (Paul)

N1GTR (Steve)

CRD (Andrew & Jim)

maybe i've left a few others out...in fact, i bet i have :)

regards,

Marko.

no offence now but just out of curiositiy is it still fine to run Jimberry clutches??

i remember reading how they blew up on how loads with GTRs and othersuch..

i am and most likely wrong but just wanted to clear the air thats all sorry.

you hear good & bad with all clutches, however, based on pauls 470awkw drag car & 3 yrs of abuse it held up fine - apparently it is still 'alive' in his mates street car

if u drove a JB clutch u would be surprised, ive had an os giken triple & exedy twin which were both terrible (handbrake starts on hills in heavy traffic etc, you know the stuff that gets your heart pumping)

in fact i smashed 3rd gear in my other gtr which i think that triple plate was the root cause

Nice work Marko, who put the engine together for you in the end?

hey nick - i had greg @ proengines build the long engine & i did the r&r (with workshop manual & correct torque settings)

that was fun although i must admit im nowhere near as fearful of the car though, the advantage of doing it yourself is taking the time & checking over everything, washing all the bits with a toothbrush

someone else i forgot to thank: Craved Coatings (Chris) for the top covers, intake paint & plenum powder coating :)

did you get the sprung center or solid center version of the jim berry clutch? i was very surprised by how easy mine is to use compared to other heavy duty singles/twins i have tried.

thanks - im driving it with the rev limit set @ 5000rpm :)

i can honestly say though it feels very strong in midrange delivery even on 10psi, the -10's start spooling quite hard around 3000rpm (that extra 400cc has made a massive impact on turbo response)

they seem to come on earlier than my gtss setup on the rb26

Jim Berry clutch's are great. I had a Nismo GMAX Twin plate in my car and it died in 3 months. Put in a JB Full Monte Race Clutch and it has been the best clutch i have ever used, it feels light as stock and it has has put up with many slow rolling 30psi anti lag 3 gear drops and just asks for more.

Anthony Martook uses them in his race cars, results speak for themself.

Look at this youtube vid of one of those 375rwkw 3rd gear drops :)

Anyone who talk shit about JB clutch's are idiots without a clue. :) fin

Im not a loyal JB customer as ive now jumped ship to NPC...but only because i couldn't see my trusty single plate holding 1000hp. My old clutch now been onsold again and is now in a 3rd car...what a top piece of kit.

f*ck off idiot...do i have to go into it...ok just for you.

Croydon Racing sponsored the car at the time...they wouldn't allow me to continue running a single plate with the power we were planning on running. They insisted i run at least a twin plate...it was something that was agreed was the best way to go.

Happy ?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
