silvia rims sit way too far in, gay offsett

[Johny Bravo]

i could be wrong. There's not much room between the gaurds an the wheels.

Any progress?

[Johny Bravo]

Haven't got it back yet. I've been garenteed to have it this friday, which i will make sure happens cause i've hired baskerville for the whole day this saturday. I'm just about sick of waiting though, was supposed to be done 2 months ago. Will post up results along with a detailed list of what been done to it as soon as i get the chance to.

Alrighty, Got her back yesterday. dont have the dyno sheets on me but i remember most the figures i think.

Firstly i'd like to mention cause she's got a stock slush box in it, i'm refering to the auto, we couldn't push it to much and we were getting consistant 175rwkw and we could of got a few more pounds of boost on but the gearbox won't handle any more power. So for the time being we've dropped it back to 165rwkw until i get around to putting a r33 manual box it. Mechanic has told me with a conversion and a retune we would get over 200 atw.\

I think i had about 75~78 rwkw before and about 200nm torque, she now has around 165rwkw and somewhere over 400nm torque.

like i mentioned above, its a stupid auto. will get around to that when i have money. dont have any pictures or the dyno sheets on me but i will get them to ya's as soon as i run out of money for fuel.

oh and the boost is coming on around 3000rpm when ya flick through the gears your self and a little later when in drive.

it is a little laggy for my liking but its also a good thing cause i can drive her around lightly when i dont want to attract attention.

will get more to ya's soon.

sounds good and well done for doing it differently. you might find it cheaper to tuffen up the std auto vs changin to manual? just a thought

also if its auto youll have auto diff gears, you can get some more response changing to 4.11 diff gears (manual)

[Johny Bravo]

the gear box is on its way out, i have a spare one but i have no idea on it's condition, when i booked it in we were going to put an lsd in it but i forgot to ask if that got done. guess i'll have to go do a road test and work that out. what costs are involved in making the auto tougher? im assuming the lsd would have manual diff gears but as i have no knowledge on that topic i am just assuming.

[W0rp3D]

Just in case you have not been told already do not boost it in over drive you will kill the auto real quick

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

what psi is this at? it was only just rebuilt wasn't it, you'd probably want to drive it easy for awhile anyways.

[gtr fan]

Sounds like your getting some pretty decent results. Like someone above said good on you for trying a different method.

[Johny Bravo]

running about .8bar, which is about 12psi i think. engine has only just been rebuilt and i'm running it in as per my mechanics instructions.

will hopefully get some stuff up for ya's later on today, wont be able to get any decent pictures up for a bit cause i can't get under the car. tis very low.

any one who wants to have a look at it just drop me a pm, im in Tas (Hobart) so all my two headed cousin's can have a peek.

cheers

Finally got off my arse, here's the dyno sheets. Second one is just an enlarged pic of the before/after dyno.

Keep in mind she's got a tourque convertor and we had to tune it down due the the slush box being a shit box.

Now lets hope that works and you can all see.

Putting it up on the hoist tomorro so i'll try get some pics of the set up for ya's.

Sorry for making you all wait.

[W0rp3D]

That's a nice improvement, 100rwkw and 250nm, more than double the original figures.

[Johny Bravo]

yeah i'm pretty happy with it.

Just sourced a manual lsd cheap so that should improve takeoff response i assume. Seeing as i have an auto diff.

And i've just been reading that a r33 auto box will fit into a 31. I'm seriously considering that if i can get it on the cheap seeing as i won't be able to afford a r33 manual conversion for sometime.

If anyone wants more info let me know and i should be able to get ya the answers, don't really feel like doing a full write just now. too lazy!

[W0rp3D]

Have a search through the for sale section, there was an r33 auto in there with shift kit for $200 i think, they were also selling a higher stall converter seperate from memory, should be exactly what you need.

[Johny Bravo]

cheers, reading more i discovered that the box will fit really easily except the speedo wiring and plugs are different, however, the 31 speedo fits the 33 speedo housing which is good cause then my speedo reads correctly?

[JonnoHR31]

not sure bout the autos but the manual boxes have opposite gears between 20/30 and 25 boxes. so make sure the gears mesh the same way before swapping speedo drives around

pics of set up on the car??
