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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
