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

Nah, I'd rather refresh it to brand new standard as part of the general rebuild... As soon as I can get a price from ya, I'll check my calendar and see when I can get it done :laugh:

-D

EDIT- This is the link I was reading about xfer rebuilds and the corresponding prices for the parts http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...amp;pid=5227996

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 :(

Andrew, overly rich mixtures can offer cooling & lubricating advantages but too much fuel can have adverse effects at the same time.

Excess fuel wash = goodbye critical bore cross hatching & hello glaze city..............not to mention that ceramic cats don't take too warmly to bucket loads of unburnt fuel. :)

Yeah I know Pete - I am not the tuner (Martin is) and I am not the workshop who did it (Manta is - and Steve has built a cubic SHIT-TON of wicked cars). I am sure they know what they are doing.

That said, David's power figure was not bad for low boost and everything taking it nice and easy on a full run-in tune. About right with little 2530s I would have thought - they only start getting up into their stride when they hit 18-20psi - I believe his tune was done at 12psi for now.

For those that were worried about what they saw coming out their exhausts on the day (black trails etc) there were very few if any cars that we could determine on there as being overly rich. A couple had a little too much fuel in the midrange, but nothing was actually drowning in its own fuel as you normally see from time to time at dyno comps. The black soot blasting out of the exhaust systems is normally the residue of cruising around being hammered out of the pipes by some high rpm airflow and heat. Black smoke on the dyno is normally a sign of a very gentle driver :)

cheers Martin for showing me your nifty calculation between the Dyno Dynamics and Mainline Dyno's

my previous runs on Dyno Dynamics Dyno were exactly along the same lines as in the graphs with the calculation.

Thats not actually a Mainline thing....and they dont really like me doing it...BUT

Having had a DD then swapped over to Mainline some of my customers wanted to see where their kw went (when in fact it went nowhere!) so I used the custom Math Channel function on the Mainline to write an 'Estimated Dyno Dynamics' correction factor, which as you can see works pretty well :action-smiley-069:

We also have a Dynojet HP Channel thing as the Americans really like to see their power readouts in 'Dynojet HP' and dont like kw :(

Good news is your car would make 500rwhp on a Dynojet no worries!

so martin what is the difference in percentage between mainline and dyno dynamics?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
