How is it all going Steve? Have you got the new exhuast one yet?

Mine is going E85. I need to speak to Yavuz in regards to injectors and the power FC. I dont really want to change the ECU but I want to be confident that the FC can handle the massive injectors at idle and what not. 2 bar here we come!

Mines going ok, the guy making the exhaust has had so much stuff come up there's been no progress yet so the GTR has basically been sitting around still on the 455kw tune. I've driven it a tiny bit but only backstreets etc no macpass or nasho trips yet

ID2000's are seriously the best injectors. The throttle control they've got compared to the old 1000's and even some big brand injectors is just awesome. Downside is the cost, but that's what big power costs I guess haha

I think I saw you the other night, I was at TC Brothers and a super clean r33 went past, it was Thursday around 9pm or so

The great thing about Yavuz is that he never pushes too hard. I've told him to push it as far as he can for the next tune cause its on e85 he may aswel. Did your intercooler arrive yet?

Oh also the rb26 injector plugs didn't fit, so 2JZ ones went on. No biggie, I think it was $26 or so?!

The issue is the distance from the plug to the injector, not the actual face of the plug if that makes sense

My cooler has been sitting in my room for months. I am just so damn lazy to put it on. Definately was not me at TC Bro's. I went to wakefield and cracked both my front rotors. My car is up on stands... got its new rotors on but just waiting for pads to arrive to chuck them on.

As for the injectors. Cost? Pfft. The GT-R is the biggest money pit ever... Whats a little bit more. I got to (well want to) run a surge tank... but I might stick that under the car. Not too keen on having it in the boot.

Yavuz. Yeah his tunes are (well my current one) is rock solid. Never knocks or carry's on. This E85 tune I want to see what she makes. I will be getting a 98 tune done also. The E85 conversion is a bit of a comparison done for a Uni final assignment. So it should be good to get a DIRECT comparison between the 2 fuels on the same dyno, tuner, car. I dare say my exhaust is going to hold me back a tad. At it's smallest point it is 80 mm. We will see what happens.

On a side note. I did hear on the radio today that by next month Caltex will have 10 servo's in Sydney with E85. Thats tip top! I knew it was going to be by the end of the year.... but its handy with them being around so soon!

Any idea of when the exhaust will be ready?

Would love to see it at WSID one night.

if that is the case - it will be time for me to do the switch to e85, otherwise my fuel system is complete overkill for 98 (and a bit of a waste)!

i also run 3 x 044's like steve

Laziness hey, I know where you're coming from then haha! As soon as I get back from work ive got enough energy to eat then straight to bed

You know what comparison I found interesting when I was there? It had 1000's in it and on e85 was struggling to break 400rwkw. Eventually it did 403 by adding boost very cautiously just cause it was a dyno day. Injectors on 98 were at around half DC. As soon as the e85 went in the DC went to 99%! so much for an extra 30%, it just maxed out straight away! The ID's fixed the problem but my car at least destroys that theory of 30% more flow needed.

Let me know when you go to the track and I'll come along. I'm dying to drive it fast again

Exhaust? Id love to know. It's not a priority for the guy making it right now. Ive asked Yavuz to get the tps gear in so as soon as the exhaust is done I'll take it all to him to see just how far the motor can go with the stock port head.

End of the day the new motor for it is the real one that matters, this current one is fun for now though. I should have pics of the crank in 2 weeks time

To be honest I'm worried about the box breaking, otherwise I wouldve gone to wsid already. The situation as I see it is that it's going to run too fast and get booted for not having all their safety gear (which I'm sure was designed for 40 year old rotaries with 800hp and tubbed etc), I'll never fit that safety gear so I'm banned. Id rather do a few runs at the texi with a v box (whyever they're called), yes it's not as official as the wsid timeslip but I really would like to give the big motor a go at wsid and after that I'll happily not go back :/

Thats interesting with the injectors. I have read that "whatever you think is enough with E85... go the next size up".

Next time we go I'll def give you and Marko a yell. Although I would love to do EC. Wakefield espeically with the power that our cars make I find you spend too much time in the lower gears. It did feel great grabbing 4th at 8500 hauling arse down the main straight!

With the box. Be careful. I broke mine on the street with not a very hard shift at all. It was only 11,000 kms old. Was not impressed. Now I have a OS box to try and break. Knock on wood that does not happen!

Maybe we should all go on the same night and have 3 GTR's getting booted out 1 after another. haha

My fuel system is almost there then. I have 2 x 044s to feed the rail and a walbro in tank pump. E85 looks like the way to go, shame we wont get it at the pump for a while here in Tassie...

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
