hi gang...

im new to SAU, yes i live in NSW but im that close to the border i still class myself as a Queenslander. i scored myself a R31 for free and im looking forward to doing her up and getting it on the road. my nephew gave it to me and its going to be my early midlife crisis car lol.

heres a run down on the car.

R31 GT passage RB20ET

garrett T28 "disco potato" turbo

problems:

control arms bushes need replacing

coil overs in the rear need looking at

theres a oil leak somewhere

in my nephews words "turbo seems to spike sometimes" (turbo to big maybe??)

crack in the "tyre well" that you can see through

sometimes when your driving to get the auto tranny to change gears ya gotta take ya foot of the gogo pedel.

only thing that really has me worried is that crack, once i find my camera charger ill get some pics up

    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it. 
    • Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
    • you, sir, are a prince. good on ya.   
    • You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc.
