Will be good to see some quick 32's around as well, give the R33 boys some competition

Hopefully power up plan stage 2 will commence shortly for mine, although 230rwkw will do me nicely for a RB20

reckon its great work to finally see alot of projects coming to completion, although as with all car stuff, I'm sure they are all a work in progress, good stuff :D

yeah joel i have a flywheel off the rb20, have a os tripple going in so its not needed, PM me if your interested

When finished i hope to have the power that these 33s have but with about 200kg less weight to move around

There will be a couple sleeper 300rwkw R32's 'idling' around adelaide soon also.. :D

 

Problem is I need a stock RB flywheel so Andrew can balance up the RB30.. Think I can find one.. No sir..

I've got one, I'll sell it to you for $5000 if they are that rare :wassup:

What a bunch of R32 floggs! Gotta be wankin yourselves! :thumbdwn:

Thanks for posting that up Matt, go the stock internals:)

Joel, get a twin plate NOW, and balance it complete - you will need it with all that RB30 torque:)

Twin plate = broken RB20 gearbox. :D

But you never know, depends how the prioritys work out if I come in to some more money. 1. Engine, 2. ECU, 3. Turbo, 4. Injectors or Clutch depending, my clutch should hold a decent amount when the front g/box oil seep is fixed.

I hope you don't mind Steve I borrowed your 9kw to add to my lawnmower. Grass won't be growing back for a few wks.

Hey I got ripped too! Lach used my 17psi tune not the 19psi one :) Gimme the 19psi tune you bastards, I need to exploit my strengths over you higher CR stockies hahaha :rofl:

But in all seriousness I agree with Lachlan, it's great to see so many 250-300+rwkw Skylines in Adelaide :) Makes it better for our more modestly power brethren, 'cause now potential traffic light opponents won't be too sure if they're about to get nailed or not :)

And now back to the thread....... talking about ME & MY STUFF :) j/k

I have to give a HUGE thanks to our very own Steve for setting up a damn fine deal! I now have ~35L of ELF LMS fuel in jerry cans sitting here ready for tuning, & then the Nats :D

ELF LMS is 102RON unleaded that was developed as control fuel for LeMans. A number of rally teams use the stuff too. The 102RON doesn't sound like a big deal but it sure packs a lot more oomph than it would seem!

Thanks to Steve I got in contact with Trent from Autobarn Mile End & he gave me 35L of LMS for the grand total of $0 Autobarn are now (or soon will be) selling LMS for ~$6.50L (35L x $6.50 ='s $227 for free - I'm happy:) ). My car will be sporting Autobarn Mile End sponsorship for the nats as a thankyou.

LMS is not cheap, but considering the gains, & how healthy it is for your engine, it's not a bad alternative to Nitrous. A couple of real world examples of how much extra grunt LMS can unlock:

Martin's HPI Soarer went from 288rwkw to 336rwkw from additional timing & boost all possible due to the LMS. The engine showed signs of less heat build up & NO sign of any detonation on the PFC.

The 10sec Morpowa Lancer was able to gain nearly 100kw via tuning on ELF LMS!

*Note* this was info from the engine builder.

The downside to ELF LMS (apart from cost - although not too bad as a once in a while drag/track day) is the massive headspins it was giving me while driving around town with it in the back of the Liberty!

I also have an Apexi wastegate actuator ready to go on. It came off an Apexi AX53B60 kit & although I don't know what bar it's rated at, I have found info from Apexi that confirms it is, "strengthening spring internal organs actuator", so if it doesn't fix my boost drop I can always have it surgically implanted to strengthen my organ :( Once again thanks to Steve for teeing up that deal (didn't cost a cent!)

Last but not least, I "MAY" have a deal on some R34 GT-R seats! Hopefully in ~2-3wks :D

Hey Matt, thanks, but dont thank me, seriously, thank the generosity of those guys who were willing to donate to a good cause.

Trent is a really nice bloke, loves imports, and fortuneately for us, gets the good gear in cos he actually knows what he is doing, unlike so many other auto parts shops around.

So when are you testing the ELF on the lawnmower, you will probably get another 10-15rw out of her yet.

:( Yeah Lach', Steve & I are just stuffing about, but keep the comparo' graphs coming mate, they're excellent.

Steve,

Very true re Trent (& Irish).

I hope you don't mind mate, but I swapped your 9kw for a Niki 650, pretty much a straight swap really :)

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
