Should be interesting on weekend at Racewars, have 1000m run and I'm guessing I'll pick up a lot of speed from the sequential box. Best guess is around the 295km/hr region 

Only got to 291km/hr but with the 30-40km/hr headwind I'm going to say I probably would have gone over the 295 that I expected. Got a very fast ET as well considering it was on AD08R street tyres on an unprepped airport runway.

Fastest pass here being a 18.106 @ 290.8km/hr with a half mile of 15.672 @ 180mph. The quarter mile was logged via GPS at a 10.2 @ 144.1mph

Was not dissapointed with the stock block warriors! How your car consistently beats all of the big hp pretty looking ozzy park workshop builds is beyond me haha, those quarter figures would surely improve on a preped track yes?

Would expect radials and motorplex to be a bit faster but who knows... I may get off my ass one day but need at least 18s to clear brakes

Why would it shock you mate? you pretty much summed up most workshop cars in your reply. They supposedly punch out big hp on a dyno but the track is a different story.... online warriors love dyno figures lol

What size oil drain do you guys use?

Precision say minimum -10 which was supplied with the kit i got but after looking at the drain size at the base of the turbo it seems too small.

I didnt measure the factory turbo drain but from memory (which is terrible) it would be closer to -12.

Is this a case of bigger is better or will -10 be fine.

i wouldn't worry about the drain on a precision, most of the oil goes out through the shaft seals.

So I run one, know several others that run them for years with no issues. Every time I see issues with seals it always appears to be install error

Bigger drain the better on precision’s 

and no sharp bends or kinks 

I can run -12 drain flange on the turbo then use a -12 braid hose with a 45 degree fitting on the top end with a 90 degree on the bottom going in to the block just in front of the engine mount. Hose should be almost straight with only a slight bend. Might might have another look to see if i can use a 45 bend in the bottom of hose too but not sure if ill have clearance.

I also use an earls inline oil filter for the feed.. and be careful you dont accidentally turn the oil restrictor when tightening the oil feed line

Ok cheers thanks guys ill keep an eye on that, i think the kit came with -4 feed and turbosmart filter

Alot of people dont run the filter and dont run into any other issues either, But lets not pretend precision hasn't had its fair share of complaints and quality control issues.. I fit the filter for my own piece of mind and ended up having issues with the first motor and filter saved turbo.. my drain doesnt have any fittings just the push lock -12 i think it was and a nice curve to the block with heat sleave over it to make it last..

i guess it probably helps that i don't leave the oil in the car for much more than 1000klms as the car doesnt get driven a lot. Its extreme, but when it sits for 6 months at a time and runs E85 we prefer to just swap out the oil and oil filter. 

NEO25 - its been a while since i worked on a Skyline but is there any way you can run the front oil drain from an RB26 on your engine? it would make the drain very easy to make up then

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
