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...

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

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.

+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!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
