cool thx for clearing that up :D looks like the 32s all had pretty interesting results

I was sure that redbacks nur would be pulling more than he did which is why I thought i'd ask

-D

Redbacks car, from what I heard, is running a very "light" tune...

correct and did you see the plumage of black smoke coming out of it mega rich = power loss

both mainline dynos

when i got my car back it made 239 rwkw @ Jaustech monday then made 235 awkw @ Willall on Friday 4kw difference Martin looked @ the dyno readout from Jaustech and set his dyno up exactly the same ramp rates

honestly they are Champs i rang him @ 4:30 asking can i get an AFR check and i need it ASAP he got me on within 30 mins and spent like 1hr as hose clamps blew off and what not then only charged $70 which he quoted

but i cant speak highly enough of Martin either rang on friday said can i get him to look @ my tune and said bring it down after lunch and spent time with me getting a hiccup out

Is there a video of the day at all with the cars being run? Would love to get a copy. Filmed the 32 on the dyno but the sounds clips before the cars even get an decent power happening.....didn't help the little sis took the camera for a camp the same weeked :P

great day thanks to everyone for behaving as executives we have heard nothing but praise

BIG thanks to Gareth for putting every car on Thank you Martin and Thanks to Paul

Some nice power outputs there Maz!!! :(

Glad to see the day was a success :)

*WARNING* NSFW - You may wet yourself.

OMG HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Ben, David has a PowerFC - in fact it is the R32GTR one out of the R that was written off in Targa Tasmania a few months ago (as his old one shat itself). And yes, it is tuned rich as FCUK atm while he fully runs in the motor. Mind you he is not out for HUGE power, as he has chosen response rather than massive numbers - he is running a pair of HKS 2530s - my favourite turbo :)

There is a school of thought that washing the oil off the bores with excess fuel will bed the rings in faster - just not at my school :)

Seriously though, some nice cars and power outputs there on the day. I did guarantee you 600+ Nigthcrawlr, thankfully it delivered!

yeah, i went with the brand new N1's for that very reason too, and even at 250kw it rocks my jocks.. just want to join that elusive 300kw club if at all possibly without rooting stuff up - will wait and see what martin says about rebuilding my xfer case before i get too serious tho

-D

EDIT - And if he has a pfc, turbos and a nur, whats he waiting for? lol... a full tune will be so much better for his power, response, engine cleanliness and wallett - get he wants to run it in but if he wants to run it in, just keeping it under 5000rpm with a nice tune for the first 5000k would be enuff wouldnt it?

Group buy on rebuilding transfer case?

depends. getting gearboxes out of gtr's is not a quick job, would cost a fair bit i'd imagine, and I dont have a spare xfer case so my car would be off the road while that gets done.. ;\

have to wait n see what martin says.. i know a lot of the parts used in the rebuild are relatively cheap but its very labour intensive from all accounts

-D

If you are in no dire need of your four wheel drive system to work as sharply as it did from the factory then keep going with your existing transfer case. Like every other part of the car they wear out, and the more power, the faster :)

We have several rebuilt cases that we had done (new frictions and steels) that we swap out from time to time on the cars. The parts are available from Nissan :P

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
