fuel rail is from pfi in vic, hose kit is from my good contact at asi performance...bit of a funny story behind the hose kit, manufacturers are steering away from silicone i/c hoses for the gtr due to cost and low demand so these were a 1 off for me, when they arrived they reeked of rotten egg/sulphate

Is that the solid or sprung centre NPC twin plate?

Im not sure, I would have to check it out. I think from memory its all solid. But we have a new NPC twin plate, light weight version going on this new motor. I believe its solid also.

I believe my road clutch is sprung.

stronger yes...but as expected abit harsher on engagement...which might not actually be that bad if yours is a full face organic type? or is button but with just uber amounts of clamping force? Excuse my ignorance, im not too au fait with Jim Berry clutches.

solid centre is more suited for higher hp applications, as per jb.

almost there, did the old road run from syd to gosford again in the wet (as the ring meister on the nurinburgring says "this is when the gtr comes to life":thumbsup: and now at 1200km, also running motul 300v lemans 20/60 full synthetic which was $230 later for 8ltrs.

i temporarily raised the rev limit from 5k to 6.5k to avoid touching the rev limiter...is the rev limit ignition cut and can that harm the engine?

Where did you get the 'le-mans'...CRD?

If the ecu is a 'garden variety' power fc its fuel cut. no harm done hitting it...i used to sit on mine when i ran the power fc to launch the car...was only when i went to ign cut it smashed the N1 oil pump (2nd launch using it at 9500rpm).

i went to crd as u suggested paul, jim strongly recommended lemans and nothing else. justjap dont stock lemans anymore.

haha i have the garden variety ecu with afms, i want to raise that rev limit to 8500 and bounce it!!!

is my idle going to get lumpier when jim dials the cams in :thumbsup:

Why did you buy Lemans for ? its a rb30 yeah ? and not reving past 7500 8000 ? what a waste of money. you could have just gotten competition and given me the rest of the money you saved instead =)

the chrono, competition and lemans are the same price, the viscosity is the only difference. besides that, i wanted to go with what others recommend.

yeah its rb30, engine is built to rev to 8500 although may not be required to make the power level i want

Competition would have been the better choice, maybe if you are running 600kw at 4 wheels you would use lemans.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
