cant see it at work, but im assuming its the group that says something like there are too many skylines and wrx in adelaide.

but then the people go on about how great commos are inside it :) think there's a s load more of those in adelaide

Sigh

Split the coolant hose underneath the inlet manifold this morning. Lost 80% of my coolant, managed to get it to the mechanics in time. Pissed the last litre of coolant out while it was on the hoist. They had to remove the starter motor to get to it. 2x hoses replaced. Thank f**k its not the heater core hoses. And I'd only put new coolant in 3 months ago, genuine nissan too...

-D

before or after mullers rd Ben?

before - only noticed it when i got to work, went inside to get some stuff and came out to see a massive puddle of ethylene glycol baking in the sun - looked at the radiator, had enuff to proceed but had the bottle of distilled water just in case

-D

EDIT - And main north nissan are all out of that particular hose. Dunno if I find one in silicon from anyone in adelaide before Friday either (it'll take till friday for nissan to get the hose from Melb...)

RB24...that is all :)
I don't know how much it would cost...but 2-2.5k should do it, ill scan a article out of HPI #44, where they start building a RB24, and send it too you.

and the rest abe, i reckon 2k would cover the machining

last time i checked the tomei RB24 kit was 6k :)

Yeah no shit hey. Trying to find out about catch can setups/ oil mods for some piece of mind and just when I get some useful info someone two posts down trashes it.

All I want is a lightly tuned reliable GTR.

  • Oil mods like which catch can, relocator and oil cooler
  • Front pipes (No I'm not going to AM Performance
  • Pods or panel filters
  • clutch, ebc, injectors, cams, fuel pumps.

Too many options, too many chances of buying a brand thats not going to work well.

1) those oil mods wont solve the GTR's problems, they help you at the track and changing filter, but as far as stopping them from spinning a bearing, you really need the sump off!! you can actually do the sump mods with the engine in the car, there actually is a way to take the sump off with the engine still in place! and you want to enlarge and baffel it! the other important mod is the restrictor in the head...not that easy to do, you may be able to do it from the bottom with the sump off tho, but expect to pay $$ for this

2) umm.. okay, why? u know whats on there atm? any particular reason you have singled out this part of the exhaust?

3) pods with shroud or box... once again, for a stockish car why would you want to change them?

4)

a) you having problems with the clutch at the moment? untill it start failing why change?

b) anything with a mac valve, they are the best type of electronic presure control!! (profec b spec 1 has it)

c) perhaps were starting to move away from a lightly tuned gtr?? stock turbos? its going to depend on your current plans, remember if were talking stock ecu there is only so big you can go

d) from the fourms "The answer on duration depends on what RPM range you are targetting, be realistic.

If you intend to use 7,000 to 9,500 rpm, something around 272 to 288 degrees would be the go.

For 5,500 to 8,000 rpm, around 260 to 272 and for 4,500 to 7,500 rpm then 248 to 260 is the go.

That's a simplification, but you get the idea. As for lift, once I know the effective rpm range,

I then choose the highest lift I can for that duration. What valve springs you are using will also determine the maximum lift" just note that once you get over 10.25mm lift you need new buckets as well as springs, you may also start to get clearance issues if you go much higher lift. but once again i ask why??

e) obv if your doing injectors u'd do this

perhaps its better for you to list your goals and we can go from there, but there is ALOT you do need to consider (as your finding out) and alot of the time you do one upgrade and you look at thing having to do 3 more for it!

i can see what your thinking... get the car up to a good base to work from there, but it depends on your 'current' end goals, you might not need to do some of this, and you might want to look at other things instead

1 x Hell Yeah
about time that R was out again luke....cant wait to see you at a villis meet with the R mate

cheers guys... but MORE delays!! =\

who quits work the week before they start on my car XD

What sized tire should I run on the GTR for a 9.5" rim? I was thinking maybe a 245/35 KU36 all round

I run 245's on a 8.5 rim at the track, If i was you i'd be going 255's minimum. No need to stretch your tyres on a 9.5inch rim on a GTR.\

I'm pretty sure Sled had 255's on his 9.5's on his GTR.

Edited by DSTROY
+1 GTR's should have no stretched tryes. Flush but no stretch :)

Unless their 10inch+ I think Shane has stretched 255's on RBWARE, looks f#cking porn!

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
