Anyone know who owns that MAD looking Blue R34 Skyline GTR...Saw it on the Winnellie Highway.

Looks very smick...Any Details on it?

I've seen it cruising too looks smick but he was only cruising past, i'd like to see it going full tilt at the Drags.

Or maybe full throttle just outside of berri springs heheh

Hey Alby and Scott, welcome to club. I have seen your 34 driving around, bayside blue is the sweetest colour. Looks fantastic. What sort of times did you get around the circuit? Looked pretty busy out there. I drive a white Stagea so give us a wave if you see me out. Have a chat to Nuffin, we are having a golf night at the driving range, you should come out if you have the time.

Cheers,

Ken

Hey Alby,

I think Lars and Devo were organising something, I dont where its at right now. We are having a bit of a working bee this weekend on Lars VL. Give me a call on 0417577744 if you would like to catch up with the rest of us.

The turbos for the Stagea are N1 GroupA's. 60 fronts and 64 rears. Should get some big power from them.

Cheers,

Ken

You will need some big power lugging that VOLVO body around :(

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
