Hi all,

I've just got my car back after some major modifications with a healthy 272.9rwkw before 6000 rpm - obviously my crappy 235s have no chance of holding it in 1st or 2nd (barely in 3rd) so I can't get most of my power down.

The search is on for some new rears - to match the fronts i need to go 265/30/19

I was thinking of the Nitto NT05s but they don't come to Aus in this size apparently...

The two others i'm tossing up between are the Pirrelli P Zero Rosso and the Yokohama Advan AD08 - prices for these are around the $600 - $650 mark each (ouch :) )

Anyone have any thoughts?

Cheers.

take a look at the federal 595 RS-R tyres, they are fairly cheap for a decent road legal semi slick.

otherwise check out http://www.tirerack.com/ they deliver internationally, though expect ~$200 for freight and a $30 international money transfer charge when you pay for them, friend just got some 265 17's Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tyres for just over $800 delivered, the cheapest price he could find one tyre for in australia was just under the price for 2 from the USA even with delivery etc.

heaps 2 pick from

the old 3076r made 272kw.. what boost?

old 3076? I assume you aren't meaning the 5 blade one? Mine's a spankin new 6 blade.

272.9rwkw @ 18psi - fairly conservative tune, max power is in before 6000rpm all the way to redline so i could lean on it a bit more.

It looks a bit lazy coming onto boost but it makes the numbers.

I reckon there is more to be had in the mid range with tweaking/checking boost control and wastegate pre-load.

Have you modified your suspension? How much rear camber?

My R33 makes very similar power (allowing variations for dynos) and I have almost no issues getting power to the road with regular road tyres. I have the old SK GB suspension (bilsteins etc) and I have tweaked the settings around to suit me.

good result... was this internal gate?

Also.... I went and got new tyres the day before i started on my 3076r build because I knew how the after effect was going to be...

I have I think nexens (i'll have to check.. cant remember the brand) was 600 all up for 4 new tyres... 235/40/18s...

They hold on pretty well for what they are and cheap to replace! even when i had my car in 2wd they were good.. in awd theres barely any let go...

Yup .82 rear.

The boost does look a little slower than some other graphs - although we mapped it up against an R33 with almost the exact mods on the dyno charts and mine made 30kw more throughout the whole range and almost 70nm more torque throughout until both making the same power at redline - and the 33 was on 21psi. Thinking that's the NEO making the difference.

I might just play around with the gain on the boost controller in small increments and see what I can glean re the boost delivery...

As for traction it is standard suspension with King Springs - thinking of going the pineapples. If i put my foot past 2/3 in 2nd it breaks out everytime around 4.5-5k. But they are pretty average Hancook 235s...

And yes it's internally gated - spent enough $$ without going for external!

I was really only after 240-250ish when i began this whole thing but thought i may as well get the best parts and see where i ended up... I think the 273 could definitely go up but it is a daily driver and i want it to last a number of years so don't want to lean on it too much...

yeh looks the goods, dif comes on slower being internal gated

im running brand new federal 235 40 18s 595 SS on the rear and in 2nd with 290rwkw i dont loose traction and thats tucking rim with G4 coilovers hard as lol.. HRMM

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
