Yeh. I reckon one of those bad boys and a good ecu with good traction control and it would shit all over alot of other cars. The supercharger guys told me of a hill climb car they fitted a supercharger to over in Perth somewhere and it was turned into an animal.

Lol workshop tomorrow mate! Engine and gbox are going back in and then start hooking everything back up and finish exhuast system and fuel system. Then test. I had to get the head reco'd. Valves were not sealing. Lol lucky I did a leak down test before putting everything back in the car! Pretty much wasted a week there though ;)

Speaking of exhaust system i/my brother might have to make a custom 3.5" cat back. i cant find any that are close to/are legal DB wise (or would be with a small amount of modification). I want to try and get something that will allow 400kw and still pass an exhaust sound test.

Keeps the neighbours off my back and avoids any unwanted attention (not that there will be much to pick on with the thing engineered)

think positive, better that you find it now than when its all back in there.

That's why it's good to have sympathetic neighbours haha I leave the turbo timer on for 5 mins at 4 am and they don't care at all

There was a guy somewhere out west who was making exhausts for about $1200, he would ask how much power it needed to flow and then the db it needed to be. It was guaranteed to meet those specs. BenM was talking with him years ago when he had his White GTR. Don't know if that helps?!

you wouldnt happen to know any more specifics on the guy?

Not off hand sorry

It would take a fair while to search for his name I think, send BenM a pm, I'll have a look tomorrow incase he's forgotten the name

Yep id be happy with that!!!

How was it in the top end?

Its so frustrating trying to get the "perfect" set up. I want to get mine coming on about 1500rpm sooner, so i think changing cams is the go. Makes 400rwkw at 5000rpm now.

Id hate to be chasing something like a 180sx with a 3L and a super responsive turbo through hills though, there's just no chance of catching something like that haha

Shithouse in the top end, had the limiter set to 6800 and from 5800-6800 it went from ~250rwhp to 90rwhp :)

I can tell you though the little 32gtst with the 3L and 25 turbo was ballistic through the hills, highway was awesome too, never needed to drop it back a gear, just roll on in 5th :)

is that with a aftermarket computer or the standard one? wouldnt mind getting mine going on the standard one for the moment then putting the aftermarket one in abit later. can do it all now/whenever i want if i really want but would love to get it running again without spending all my money on it.

has anyone used the standard ecu on their rb25-30? sorta worried about doing that coz it might be in the rich maps and wont allow the new motor to bed in properly from running rich. piston rings and glazing the bores and crap like that

I ran mine untuned on the RB20 ECU for about 4 months, I just didn't rev it over 5500-6000rpm because a) afm was maxing and b) turbo choked the engine up.

It did actually mean I was slower than a standard 32 because I couldn't rev it to 7500rpm, some 3.9 gears helped that.

i got a 3076r 0.82 on a 26/30 with stock rb30 n/a pistons, stock 26 head and stock cams, it makes 21psi at 2900rpm in 4th on flat road, though its hard to tell exact as i cant log the boost/rpm to double check. It does die in the arse abit up top but i think its due to cam timing which i still havent bothered to sort out. Its making a lack of power due to the same reason but just doesnt have the feel of a bigger turbo i am used to. The whistle of the thing annoys the shite out of me too, i hateeeeee it.

Not off hand sorry

I went and had a chat with the local exhaust shop as i needed to get a euro 3 cat for the emissions test, using a rough guestimate on required materials i can make my own custom 3.5" catback with two large mufflers for about $1000. Thats assuming i can fit decent sized off the shelf mufflers under there.

So for about the same money as a jap catback i should be able to get pretty close to legal DB. :)

lol im at work and its lunch. If only I was at home and working on it..

Side note, I got to briefly speak to Mike Vine at the speedway saturday night and I told him about my project and he said they did something similiar but had to run two throttle bodies because apparently there will be abit of lag in the time it takes to fill everything after the supercharger to the plenum as its alot of volume in vaccum and takes abit of time to fill.

The old codger scared me with the lag part! Making me thing I should have just left the throttle body were it was..... DANG!

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
