Somebody is a railway Mech I thinks.... (right?)

This kind of thing is a pretty common sight for me. Not me in the photo, just a random interwebs pic.

Note right at the back of the motor there is a spare piston and rod. The engine casing is about 3 or 4 stories high...

Oh, its a Container ship motor. Heavy fuel oil.

Nice pics Paul; cubes+boost = WIN!:cheers:

I've been out of the game a while (used to build V16 2 stroke GM Diesels and a bit of Paxman stuff) Things look to have moved on a little! What make is that V20?

Yeah Alex, back in the rail for about a year now after a break doing allsorts of different things.

Things have moved on Dale I'm catching up now.The engine is German made by MTU 4.7 litres per cylinder 18:1 compression with 55 psi boost common rail injected 1800 rpm max. So in terms of a diesel they are a bit of a race engine.

Very nice; common rail and computer control was only becoming a reality in large engines as I was leaving that part of the industry. I did see some pretty interesting Turbo/superchargers with the GM stuff; but not those kind of boost numbers.

It was cool knowing the turbos I was balancing & building were turning at 80,000rpm with a 60 cm wide impeller. Some Napier turbo assemblies were 100,000+ rpm! All on a floating bearing too; no BB set ups.

What kind of power are they producing; I'm guessing in the 3000 odd HP bracket?

Yep pretty much on the button with the horsepower 2700 quoted.We still have a few GM power plants but phasing them out slowly, they have been great work horses.

Good stuff. Looking forward to what you've got in store for the Stagea.thumbsup.gif

Hopefully picking my car up from All Type Crash this afternoon.

Aero wing painted, Xanadu grille painted, detail including brush touch up all round. It's hard to know where to stop spending money on bodywork though - there is a very minor dent in the passenger door. I could get it pulled out, but I'll be forever freaking out about some tosser denting the door again. I always park at the opposite end of the car park or take the end park, but people always manage to get way too close still. :rolleyes:

Go and talk to your local Paintless dent removal specialist; ask them if they'll do a cash job if you remove all the trim from the door. A lot of the time it's just the gesture that they appreciate.thumbsup.gif

I had 3 small pin dents done by a great PDR guy in my area for $60.

I'd thought about this but apparently the good local guy has recently retired. Need to scout out someone decent I guess.

hmmm... wonder how he got that complied?

Looks good.

Still, wouldn't get any interior but black.

Northshore.... as a favour I hear (still cost them though).

EDIT: actually I think that was for a QLD based yard, but Northshore are offering compliance for other importers and have been for a few months now.

Oh and while I gotcha Alex, regardless of the instructions, you don't need to remove the rear water pipe when installing the kit.

Thanks Cam,

I think I saw it online in a QLD lot.

Thanks for the pro tip. That means the pathfinder cooling mod might just work then. How far through are you guys? before/after dyno? What did a GT-8 pull NA?

I agree black is nicer, Redicorp/pvp imports/sinergy motorsport in adelaide can comply m35's, they are on the raws list for m35s...i thought, god knows about 2005 axis model though :unsure:

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
