New PB at Wakefield!

1:09.63

Had a good day at the SAU Vs RENEW event. no breakages but the miss the splitfires were suppose to fix is still there sad.gif you could hear it anywhere on the track when did it.

i actually started looking at the dash as i was going around and noticed that the car was trying to boost over 20psi! which then the ecu was cutting ignition or something.

im pretty sure that the wastegate was staying closed as when i slowly and gently got on the power it seemed to hold boost @16psi. also a little wd40 in the top of it stopped it from happening for a lap or so it it dried out.

hopefully i have a new wastegate on soon to see if that fixes it.

next things im doing are some new tyres(the RSR's are now over a year old, with several outtings), larger sump and a VLT oil pump. wanna get traction sorted and make it more reliable before it blows lol

pic from the day :)

haha. maybe from afar it looks clean...

it started like as a cheap drift hack, slowly getting better bits into it.

Sexy daves 31 from the 31club would have to be the cleanest ive seen. but there are heaps in there to drool over :)

Sparco 17x8 and 17x9s

unfortunately, i cant afford Federal FZ201 or some slick ATM so it will be FediRSR's again, albeit an 1in wide a corner.

bought a Turbosmart 38mm gate just to trouble shoot till my new mani arrives,hopefully to the dyno soon.

thats about it for now,got to concentrate on getting the silo road worthy. rolleyes.gif so, heres some assorted picstongue.gif

and before i really did anything to it. i actually quite like hotw it looked back then

heres a vid from the SAUvs RENEW day done by Eric (Pezhead).

theres not much of me, but some really cool cars like the wide body RB S15 and a Sports Sedan R100

Watch th R34 GTR pass me on the straight. "Hmmm i might just got round the jolly old fellow" lol

Yeay!!! issue got fixed today!

cant wait for texi, two weeks till skids :)

turns out it was boost cut by the ecu. now in part to having the wrong spring and lazyness, boost has been up'd to 18psi. tune is still quite rich for some protection.

does anyone know how to convert Tractive Effort into something i can understand?

Awesome build thread, I love cheap home job builds and your two door... theyre so hard to find these days, well up here anyway.

Edited by Silvia GTR

Cheers guys, skid vids soon :)

new wheels turned up today. wider tyres and less camber/castor will help fitment, but more importantly they dont need spacers to clear brakes and they fit the hub

ring thingys.

will feel alot more confident about not shearing studs now :rolleyes:

215front/235rear going to 235front/255rear will hopefully help with grip.

why yes good sir, i will need some good tyres.

poof.gif

yeay, now rolling on Federal FZ-201s!

235s and 255s

went up to wakefield yesterday and scrubed them in. felt heaps grippier then the RSR's up until 3rd gear hated life.:whistling:

8 track outings and a few dyno runs in a 20 box aint bad me thinks. got another $100 box ready to go.

also bought a GPS data logger last night, so i'll be able to keep better track of improvements in the car and myself.

quick mob pic from yesterday.

so, i've had a go at making a front splitter.

its is a prototype/having a go to see if it works kind of thing. basically inan effort to reduce some understeer.

2in garden edging, 9mm ply an some s/s turnbuckels that have been attached tothe reo.

2011-12-06_164353.jpg

will sit flat when the bar is attached.

2011-12-06_164409.jpg

it sits about 100mm of the ground and goes back to the rear of the bar.

also put on the front tow point incase i poo it.

2011-12-06_165952.jpg

also bought this, so i'll know for sure if it works tongue.gif

cheers champ

Well, went to the last sau day @ wakie for the year today. Good time had smiley.gif

Met Chris Easton, one of the reasons i originally got the 31, the new tyreswere awesome and the splitter actually worked!

1st session quickest was a 1:10.1, 2nd was a 1:08.7, 3rd 1:08.3 and 4th a1:07.4 grin.gif and 5th a 1:08.0..

starting to get my consistency down too, with 4 1:7s in a row in the 4th ses.

The new tyres (Federal FZ201s) had heaps of grip, way more than my old RSR'swhich were grippy as too. The splitter removed all of my understeer, defs goingto work on some more underbody aero...

And that little data logger was worth every cent. awesome to know what you did,when you did it and how.couple of quick pics in the pit

Done some stuff J

My missus bought me a RPM duel layer suit for my bday so I can look all pro. Unfortunately it just shows my pot belly so no pics for that… tongue.gif

I have been thinking for awhile that my spring rates are too stiff.

I've been running 10kg'sfront and 8kg rears, good for driftos not so mush for sprints.

After talking over with Blue I have put the rears in the front and borrowed some 6's for the rear off Sweetfu

And my cf bonnet from fatz showed up last week. Quantity so awesome I crack an instant boner

Truth be told, I've wanted a 31house bonnet since I got into 31's… nearly 11years ago!

Also bought some flash aerocatches

Bolted to the hinges

After my last Wakefield day the FZ's showed how under braked my car is so now I've had some dogbone brake adapters made up and am just waiting on a price for some project Mu 330mm disc's for the front.

see, 31s can look low...

2012-03-25145834.jpg

Where did you get the brake adapters made?

Also on your splitter, do you have any pics please showing how you attached the ply to the garden edging? I'm guessing 90 degree alloy edging cut into small pieces

so, i've had a go at making a front splitter.

its is a prototype/having a go to see if it works kind of thing. basically inan effort to reduce some understeer.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
