Hi all,

on behalf of Nick @ GT Garage a big thank you to everyone that attended and assisted on Saturday night. It was a highly entertaining event and GT Garage has already locked in a date for the next dyno day in approximately five weeks time smile.gif.

Congratulations to Darren Anderson for taking the outright power and power per litre trophies. A great effort to come all the way from Burnie for the event.

For those wondering about the accuracy of the dyno, it is as accurate as any dyno in the country. However in saying that a dyno is primarily a tuning tool, try not to get caught up with 5kw here or 10kw there. There are so many variables that can affect a cars power.

Just for reference, R32/R33/R34 GTRs were all limited to 206PS from factory, the white R32 GTR V Spec 2 and the R34 GTR M Spec Nur both made within 5rwkw of 200kw at all four.

Oh and Dave Michaelson's R33 GTR made 415oddkw at all four, not at the rears. Darren Andersons R33 GTR was run in RWD.

e85 in tasssie at the pump - NO

Yes that was kutzie

and yes nick has done a top job!

Ha ha ha it took 6 or 7 years to get 98.... Probably going to take 10 to get E85!!!

That was kutzie.... ha, interesting.

Weeell little Nicky is awsome, so I should expect nothing less.... I cant wait to get back and give that dyno a good work out.

Cheers

Hey Toff...

Been good mate- buisy, soaking up the rum, sun and fun here in the caribean and the medditeranian and Alaska and Bahammas.... hahahah... I'm a superyacht engineer, so rich guys pay me to fix they're toys... 180ft boats, cars and the odd helicopter (well I just help out with the aircraft). It's cool, but it's still a job:

I miss my car though... So I'll probably be comming back in 8-10 months.

My going away party was killer- so maybe a comming back bash is in order???

yeah I had to watch the video clip 3 or 4 times to make shure it was him... :thumbsup:

I'll more than likely run e85 in the big girl... Just got my Injector Dynamics ID2000 injectors wooohooo!!! I used to buy barrells of 98 when you couldn't buy it out of the pump, e85 will be the same.

Cheers

Have you factored in the extra consumption that you will get from running E85?

Might make it an unviable option to run in a street car unless you plan on driving around with Jerry cans, the fact that it is unavailable at the pump in Tassie makes it a bit of a logistical nightmare for making the switch.

I am about to convert my tarmac rally car to E85 but even with a race car the excess consumption will prove to be a headache shifting the car to events and in between stages without carrying spare fuel (which unfortunately is not always an option).

I know from feedback from a few of the mainland guys that have made the switch that usage has increased 30-40%....food for thought anyway :banana:

Hey mate,

The extra fuel useage shouldn't be an issue... I'll only be running E85 for drag racing and the occasional track day. Ha ha ha... I used to carry jerry cans of 98 and toluene with me, when I ran up and down the west coast.

I'll be able to change maps easily enough with the new ecu.

thanks for the thought though

Cheers

Justin

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
