if you aren't going a massive amount of power 1000cc injectors will support over 400kw on E85. you can just use both the feed and return as feeds and run a single new return line.

as for 11:1 and bent rods if you are going to the effort of making it run 11:1 might as well throw some aftermarket rods in it as they are only ~800 for a decent spool set.

That's how I looked at the build was if I wanted 11:1 i'd need rods, which to me meant a whole motor build. At the moment everything on thi. Car has all been about bargain hunting really.

And from 1000cc to 1600cc there isn't much price difference.

I'll do some calcs late tonight if I can get my ecu to let me download it and get the dc of the 880 injectors.

At 3500 this motor feels dead as a door nail, but it's making 190 rwkw. But at 5000 rpm plus it's making 250rwkw which accelerates 5 times faster... Dyno definitely didn't read my full power read out properly... I think I'd max a 1000cc set, or at least be chewing into the safety area...

Watch this space though, big changes to setup before next texi!!! :)

good choice on the stand. where from and what price, that is what i need.

I bought it from a local race place.

Total Race in Wollongong.

Bought $170 I paid. Probably a touch more then I needed to, but it was simply email one of the guys there and he called the moment it came in.

Titan: that's my garage... Missing a skyline... Lol

So, I forgot to follow up on this and update everyone, at 6000 RPM and on 1bar of boost, with an afr of about 11:1, the car is using 70% of injector duty cycle on 880 cc injectors. There is no way I can even move to E85 at the moment with my current setup, and 1000cc wouldn't cut it either...

Using the old 1cc of injector = 1hp I'd be making around 600hp at the fly... Or around 450 HP at the wheels, or about 330 rwkw...

Well, it looks like this adventure of smashed motors, and other issues from crazy horse power is coming to an end.

Another motor is going in (Still a 30) although a smaller turbo is being put on and then the car sold off.

But don't worry! The big turbo is going to another member to blow motors up with and I'll be back straight away with most likely two new beasties for some circuit work!

  • 1 month later...

So, things didn't pan out how they were planned to back in July, my white beasty is still with me, and there will be no new additions to my fleet just yet.

But what does this mean for my car?

Well, the huge turbo is GONE. Like, completely, manifold, dump turbo, GONE.

I have a new turbo sitting here (ATR43G3), which should give a super responsive setup with a very usable rev range.

I also have a new forward facing plenum.

Camber arms.

Coilovers

All to go in.

But what's happening with the motor? Well it's not 100% decided yet what products are going in, but there'll be some nice little goodies going in for a budget rebuild to handle some circuit work.

It has started! To pull the engine out, I just need to get my mate to give me a hand one night this week as well as: Under the tail shaft, and undo the gearbox cross member.

The spare motor is stripped down to a short block, I need to get some bolts to put it on the engine stand, and strip it down to nothing and send it off to be X-Rayed and machined.

Then to buy some parts to bolt it all back together!

62252_1513281026518_1069171597_31532413_1648577_n.jpg

Before it goes back in though, I WILL be cleaning every bit of the engine bay, and even doing some repainting. As you can see, I've already started, for anyone who's looked where my air filter normally goes, the chassis rail that runs beside it is normally black from grease and oil... I spent around an hour and a half stripping out those little clips that no longer hold anything, and deciding how I'm going to re-route a heap of cables through the guard to tidy stuff up!

It's beginning!

I also need to keep an eye out for a good condition front reo bar. When someone owned it before me, they appear to have had a minor bump in the front passenger side and put a minor dent in it, of which I'm not happy with! (I'm becoming a perfectionist with this car now...)

So, like, I couldn't get the motor out, as my missus isn't strong enough, not matter how hard I yell... (I KID! :))

So the motor is still in, but we started cleaning a bit more instead.

This was the start (Well, it had had a bit of a clean... The white area... )

62001_1522272971311_1069171597_31554361_3310887_n.jpg

So I scrubbed a bit...

61286_1522275291369_1069171597_31554366_2660925_n.jpg

And some more...

62776_1522276451398_1069171597_31554369_974470_n.jpg

Stupid spots that aren't smooth panel! They don't want to come clean!

And I need to do this all over the front of the car... Both inner guards are full of oil and grease, mainly this one though from a track day issue...

Some how even more stuff fell off the front though...

So, I had some time on the weekend, and while I was looking at the car, a few things fell out...

Mainly being the front half of the tail shaft, the gearbox, my airconditioner and then some blasted Rats ran off with the wiring loom...

I was going to take out the engine, but the problem being, it appears that when the RB30E was pulled from my mates old car and stripped, the brackets for putting the chain onto appears to have been left on the head, when it went to the tip... So the engine is still in the car... :thumbsup:

It's being supported by just resting on the mounts and against the firewall.

OMG! Someone stole my dash and aircons!

65201_1538774383836_1069171597_31590552_1042539_n.jpg

Wonder how fast I'm going?

58164_1538775383861_1069171597_31590556_1019519_n.jpg

But you know what the REALLY big question is, other than what's going back in... Do I remember how it goes back together...

MAtty - use some bolts in the head where the brackets were and slip the chain over those, just make sure you have some washers big enough so the chain doesnt slip through.

I'm being very untrusting of an individual bolt... I thought of doing it... But will it really take that load?

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
