what kind of money is he asking? they are wanted a bit here but they are also cheap here compared to the cost of importing one including freight.

GT - I have a friend with a 4.8 Patrol engine/box that he wants to offload. Is there a market for these over there?

hahahaa cheers mate! :):)

ohhhh btw... good news everyone!! "dr farnsworth voice"

The V8 SUPERCARS teams left a whole lot of barrels of E85 at Yas Island circuit, my boss works there and he snapped them up for a good price!

Bring on e85 tuning again! hahahaa its been more then 2 years since ive played with the stuff, good to know the old thread is still churning away! might come in handy!

Does the fuel go off in barrels quickly? the race was in January.

You know its taken me 2 years to actually read this thread , but it is by far the most interesting thread on this forum..

Good on ya bloke :thumbsup:

Sooooo.. Guys

Back to the diff ratio thing. Now i am 1000000% sure this diff is something like 3.4:1 ratio.

There is a drift day tomorrow and i wanted to tune the car again, first time the r32 was on the dyno with the RB30....

After i tuned it and made my first power run in 4th gear i noticed the Dyno vibrating like hell, this only ever happened before when I was removing road speeds from lexus's and tundras etc etc and the wheels were spinning over 250km/h

My right hand dyno man comes up to me and said "264 km/h" WTF? watched the dyno the next run and sure thing, 265km/h in 4th gear. This is with my original RB25DET standard transmission i ran in GLT-00Y the whole time in Australia and when I ran the 10.8 @ 135mph.

First gear goes up to 80km/h and second gear is about 140km/h, did not bother with third.

So no drifting, do not think its a good idea to go tomorrow and slide on that track with my hands and legs tied together in this LHD Skyline

What is this diff out of? Guram from Georgia said his car is the same, R32 GTR and my rear end is supposedly from a R32 GTR.

any ideas? i want to change it back or just sell the car and get a RHD car for drifting.

to backup my theory, i went to the drifting today, and could not drift again, soo i tried first year and it was not spinning so bad, it was spinning so bad not because its LHD its because when i was spinning the wheels they were spinning at 130+ km/h

I tried to snap it from 1st to second a few times and nearly lost it every time. its nuts! Had a ball though!! we were drifting on the Yas Marina F1 track!!! was awesome!

yeah its the same, but this car, the brake pedal and clutch were like 2cm's appart! i had to do some serious bending to the clutch pedal and its still not where id like it.

its just awkward... i started to get used to it a little when on the YAS track

Would be weird as hell drifting a LHD. Is the pedal arrange the same as RHD?

Hey GT off topic buy I just read an article in the paper about Ferrari world, this huge red indoor amusement park based on everything Ferrari!

Have you had a chance to visit it?? Looks insane

its in YAS, next to the F1 track and the Drag strip. been outside of it but never bothered to enter. if it was Skyline world then i would have been in there in a flash =)

Apparently one of the Sheikh's here organised it, Abu Dhabi City purchased 5% of Ferrari, then they made Ferrari World.

i will visit sometime

hey mate, 32 GTR is 100% 4.111:1. if you have a 3.4:1 then you need to get rid of it. providing your car really does have a GTR diff then it should be no problem to re-fit the 4.111:1 crown wheel and pinion. if you need help getting one let me know. they are not expensive.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
