yeay! :)

picked him up from ESP today and am fairly happy, still got a few issues to sort but thats cars.

194.8@5psi

224@9psi

for some reason the clutch was slipping andit had a boost leak which resulted in the cooler pipes blowing off a couple of times and next time Glen said he will spank me if bring tyres that have been sitting in the sun for 10 years...

Very happy with ESP (even though they hate my 31 now) i cant recommend them enough.

now will someone book a track day for me.

You forgot to mention the mountain of torque that it makes James... Thats why the clutch was slipping.

My guess for the final figure (when all the bugs are ironed out) is:

253rwkw @ 14.4psi (1 Bar).

700nm torque

P.S. It sounds like a chainsaw on steroids! :P

To quote Miranda in that video - "hehe that's cool".

It looks hardcore when it's rolling (must be the sick black on yellow paint job) :worship:

P.S. It sounds like its going to need a large muffler before it goes out to the hillclimb or they'll kick you off for being too loud :(

Quick question ... who built your RB30DE setup ?

im looking to build an RB30DE (non turbo) in future and was after a bit of knowlege on the build as I would like to build the motor myself but need to know about the machining of the block and head etc...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.

      If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
