For people who track their cars, what sort of time improvement would you expect from say a Cobb tune, mid pipe and cat back exhaust upgrade?

Also has anyone v-boxed the before and after 0-100, 1/4mile times?

I am trying to compare the (09/10 cars with simple mods) with the (2011 models)

Cheers

I ran my 09 car for about a year with the stocker tune, about 10~15 track days at EC, WP and OP. After applying the Cobb tune, track times were no better, and initially went backwards a bit... There are a number of factors. The first generation of R35 tunes had explosive power application, overwhelming VDC thus pulling power and running slower. Thankfully Willall came to the party with a tune which applied power/boost in a more linear fashion, suited for the circuit, which helped a lot. If you're running with an extra 50 or 100awkw, VDC just doesnt work (as intended). You need to turn it off and/or be much more judicial with the throttle.

It's difficult to quantify my lap time improvements as i've made a bunch of changes surrounding suspension, tyres, aero and brakes. But if i had to guess, at a track like Eastern Creek, i would say adding 40awkw equates to about a second improvement straight up in the R35.

As for 1/4 mile, i can't remember the stocker time, but running the Willall 98 tune, i ran 11.1 @ 128mph, and with Martins E85 tune i ran 10.73 @ 132mph. 0-100km/hr run on the 98 tune was 3.1s as measured on the VBOX. I havent measured the 0~100km/hr with the E85 tune yet, i think.

Stock's between 11.6 and 11.8 quarter time and 0-100 around the 3.7 mark in LC2 cars.

      I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.

      EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
