Hi Mark,

Youll have to apologize i havnt been following your thread for quite some time. Do you mind giving us a quick rundown on the build?

Power

PSI

What turbos

Cams? if your comfortable letting us know the specs

any headwork?

Thanks buddy

no probs at all :P

405awkw, 930nm (tuned by crd)

kelford cams 280degrees with 10.8mm lift

garrett -10s

head ported by proengines (i think greg spent either 10hrs or 14hrs on it)

S**t Marko... don't tell me you are one of those blokes that says, "should have never sold it".

i am 1 of those blokes, i was the 3rd owner. my mate had it for 6yrs.

had 80,000 genuine kms (aussie log books & service history)!

but then i twinkled with the engine lol, forged bottom end, hks gtrs turbos, cams, clutch etc etc etc & it made 365awkw.

its like having a genuine ford falcon gt then pulling out the engine & making it into a monster - nothing beats factory condition for enthusiasts & resale

what i can say though is that the silver gtr paid for my house deposit, sold it for 40k about 4-5yrs ago (im still in touch with the new owner, just in case :P)

Smart thinking... (and smart thinking :))

i finally picked my replacement gtr :)

this is my black gtr with the rb26/30:

here is my new toy:

i kinda miss the rb26, it has a much more pitch sound BUT doesn't have the same brute power of the rb26/30

this red gtr has a forged engine with -5s & drives very well, 333awkw on crd's dyno @ a lazy 19psi :)

marko, what do you think those -5,s would be like on your 26/30 .......

hmmm - would be very aggressive & punchy in bottom end area but im not sure about what top end they would support?

i know of a few guys on gtr uk who have cracked over 400kw with -5s

me personally, i'd rather -10s on a 26/30 as i do like top end rush

i'd say for the circuit though the -5s would be a deadly package (im sure stevo 'n1gtr' was talking about -5s for a long time but not sure whether he followed through)

uuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tempted. i know what you mean top end etc. here,s mine on track, would you say this is similar in pick up to yours now?.

i find this set up a little laggy on tight tracks

the silver r34gtt in front runs a to4z around 670@the flyand an rb30 with a 25 head

check out the videos on youtube of the high octane R34. it has -5 turbos and a 26/30. it also has different diff gears and other bits and pieces to help though so its not entirely an apples to apples comparison.

hi mate, yes seen mark berry,s car superb, but not a real comparison, i know simonster on here was going twins but thats not happened yet,i am dying to hear from anyone running either 2860-5,s or disco potatoes on a 26/30 set up. i know i will be dropping power for responce but on track i believe the car will be faster if that makes sence..lol

uuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tempted. i know what you mean top end etc. here,s mine on track, would you say this is similar in pick up to yours now?.

your car sounds awesome - reminds me of my 26/30 :)

in terms of pickup, hard to gauge really...are u asking if your setup is similar to my rb26/30 with -10s OR rb26 with -5s?

i actually think that maybe my rb26/30 with -10s has less lag than my rb26 with -5s?

So what are the future plans for this one marko ?...i like the LMGT2's on there,you dont see them too much anymore.

not sure yet but i'd say i'll drop the 26/30 in the red gtr - ive spent way too much time & effort on this with the build, hardware, busting crd's balls & rob @ rips lol

btw - the wheels are lm gt1's :)

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
