How stupid of me, I didn't even think of DC pumps haha

when are you going to buy yours?

Will you hook it up on full time operation or a toggle?

Thermo fan on the heat exchanger or are you going to do the tap into the radiator setup?

I'll get all mine together after the SAU wakie day.

Going to run the pump off the ign switch, and yeah a thermo fan on the heat exchanger which will sit where the current intercooler is...ive also got a 10L water/ice box in the boot, so i'll fill it with ice cubes for short sprints, and the extra water will help keep temps down for longer runs.

Edit: Just thinking that i may even mount the heat exchanger directly in front of the radiator (under the support panel)

Will do.

Well after much thought last night about the dirty 30 build, I decided that it will indeed get a RB26 head, after talking to a few places about getting the damage on my 25 head fixed it would be cheaper and easier to just throw a good GTR one on.

It will probably run twin 2860-5's or -10s if im feeling adventurous, but if funds allow I may go a twin-scroll T04Z or Gt4088, but I could build a spare bottom end for the same dollars.

So if anyone see's cheap 26 parts (manifolds etc) please let me know :)

On the flip side of that, I could just buy a complete 26 and give it a quick freshen up (rings and bearings, crank collar etc) and run with that.

Please help me choose, I know the 30 will make a shed load more low end grunt but 26's rev a lot better.

argh! I cant choose lol

that's alright...I should've asked our IT guy at work when he was here.

I havent look at the Plazmamann ones yet....but im a cheap ass so i probably wont lol

you mean alex? i dont think he would have one kicking about in his car.

do you have a picture of the serial cable you need? 9 pin male to female? male to male? 9 pin to some random connector?

Lol how do you know Alex?

I ended up getting one off ebay.

Not true, my 30 matches the previous 26 rev for rev.

26 used to go to 8000rpm most days, the 30 has a soft limited at 9000 and the way I drive it, it gets up there!

Don't go -10's though, it's too much power for a gtst. When you're racing would you rather wheelspon and heaps of power or a smaller amount but a linear curve of usable power? Also given that Wakefield is probably where the car will do most work, get turbos to match there-nothing would suck more than having a monster sized setup around the hook section that needs the back straight to get some boost up.

The supra guys that do track work are moving away from the 4088's and to4z's for large 35r's and some towards precision billets.

I'd suggest a 3L with rods and pistons, 26 head with tomei 260 cams and dash5's would be a real weapon

Tyre smoke gets teh biartches though lol.

I think you are right about the -10s and RWD though.

Come over and ill take you for a ride in my r32, that will make sure you dont buy similar setup for a rwd car

The tyres on the front are new (with cast tabs), the rears are showing about an inch of belt per side, and ive seriously been easy on it.

What are you doing for brakes?

haha...I'll hit you up next time im up that way.

As for brakes, Im not 100% sure yet, I've been thinking about Wilwood 6-pot forged superlights and 330-340mm rotors (I cant remember what the calipers will swallow. But that will all be sorted out later on, depending on how the standard stuff holds up...my bet is not to well...but we will see...if I hit the tyre wall on the outside of turn 2 at wakie than ill know ill need better brakes :)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
