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

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
