if ant actually winds his up, im guessing it'd blow both nathan and probally danny into the weeds, all be it momentarily before it dies itself as its still got a stock crank, ant was telling me he'll be happy with around 600..

The problem with ants car is gearbox.

To that last statement i say it comes down to drive skill, not cheaque book racing. ie i wonder how 1 car got tuned b4 another :Oops:

hopefully no more ****ups danny. i Bet u are giving it to shane even more now that things are almost done, and the rx4 is further away

I think Anth and myself are both aiming a little higher than 600rwhp,we both have standard cranks with lots of work been done to them and yes this is the weak point in both motors as all other parts have beem replaced.we do not see this as a major problem as there are many cars over east with high hp built on standard cranks,without failure,we may be wrong but only time will tell.As for check book racing all forms of racing cost lots of money,time ,effort and sacrifice by all involved,now lets thrash them and have some fun.

on another note ant needs a new box

Danny keep your R locked up otherwise some italian men might accidently borrow it overnight before returning it with a much less rattly gearbox :D

/me mutters something about nd4spd as he wonders off.....

P.S when do i get the pleasure of featuring it ? :)

Well the decision has been made something is not right in the motor and we are going to pull it down and check whats happening.Since picking the motor up from the last so called performance workshop the motor only had 90psi combustion presure and the assumption was made that this would increase once the motor was started but this was not to be the case.Will keep you all posted but it look's like were starting from scratch again,here's hoping it will only take a few weeks to rebuild and will be back on the track soon.

Jesus Christ Danny. I feel so bad for you having been told alot about what the GTR has gone through to get to this stage and to now hear about this is just pain.

I hope you take to some people because heads need to roll. Seeing as how your nearly as big as me im sure this will be an easy job.

In all seriousness i think legal action would be a good way to go here. Youve been screwed around too much for this to be just a trivial matter anymore.

I really hope to see you back in action soon and the best of luck with everything with this rebuild.

Cheers and good luck with the head kickng

Tom

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
