Do you guys have a dyno down there? .... I'd sure love to dyno my car while it is still fairly standard .... before the LS1 dyno day (when I hope to have my exhaust etc on by then).

What sort of dyno/dyno-tune deal could you get me? :D *cheeky*

Yes we have a dyno. I'll speak to Tim, and get back to you regarding a dyno run on your S15. I'm sure I can twist his arm regarding a deal for you Andrew and all the Skyline Aussie members.

Or otherwise give RPM a ring at 82772266. And ask for Ivan from next Monday.:D

Ivan,

You'll be seeing me from time to time then mate :( I've had a number of modifications done by (or in conjunction with) Tim, Mick, & Steve.

Come to think of it, you'll be getting your hands dirty on a 1UZFE (4.0L DOHC V8 Soarer eng') transplant into a Hilux Surf very very soon :uh-huh: My father in-law is booked in to have his turbo diesel Surf given some mumbo!

I'll be seeing you soon myself, I've got a few basics I want to get done before the dyno day, gotta’ squeeze those last few rwkw :D

Cheers,

Matt.

Andrew Nightcrawler, we can do the power run for u for $40, we can 'tweak' it up to get more rwkw for your 200sx.

If you want a dynotune it will be $137 plus parts. Ring RPM and we will fit u in before the LS1 dyno day. Mention Ivan.

Thanks Matt and Aaron. Will be looking forward for the hilux!!

Ivan,

Thanks mate :) I just want to do a basic once over, change fluids (diff/box/eng/filter) I'm too slack to do it myself & with the hoist it's much easier :( I've already got all the fluids/parts so it'll be a pretty simple. Hopefully I can drop in around the end of the month?

I'm also thinking about trying a set of NGK Iriway7's too? Nobody stocks them on the shelf in Adelaide yet (to my knowledge?) & Autobarn want $30+ea!

For those that didn't know: Iriway/Iritop/Irimac are the newish range of NGK Iridium plugs designed with performance, high comp' & boost levels in mind. They only come in 7,8 & 9 heat ranges. According to AB & NGK rep's HKS plugs are re-badged versions of these plugs?!

For more info read here - http://www.ngkspark.com.au/bulletin_SB01-1.htm

dAVE,

Give Tim a call @ RPM PC, he can give you a good run down as he put the package together. The engine they've sourced was from a Soarer.

I suggested the conversion to the Michael (father in-law) & he said, "Yeah lets do it!" The whole package drive-in / drive out will come to ~9-10k, that includes the g/box, clutch & flywheel set-up sourced by Michael via Melb'. I'm still working on convincing him to add a supercharger :uh-huh:

Cheers,

Matt

Matt,

We can do the plugs. But I would recommend the NGK BKR7EVX which is a platinum no7 heat range plugs for mild 1/2 serious street car.The Iridium ones are good for SERIOUS race applications but they are proven no better on the dyno for HP than the BKR7EVX.

When Tim was in Brunei tuning some cars for street drags, there were some cars over there which were running the Iridium heat range 8 and 9, thay were TOO COLD for daily driving and were fouling up. They were then replaced with the BKR7EVX and were running clean all week and were not missing at all.I'm sure the Iridium are a great thing but you will probably end up favouring the BKR7EVX for your car.

The Iridium and the BKR7EVX retail for $30each and $22 each respectively. But I can do them cheaper if you ring me at the end of this month.

Hope this helps,

Ivan.

G'day mate,

Really appreciate the help dude!

I'm actually already running BKR7EVX's so I guess I'll stick with 'em :) I've noticed a few GT-R owners have mentioned they use them too, & we all agree they're an excellent plug! I guess it's a case of, "when it ain't broke don't fix it" :)

Hope Corey's rail runs some good numbers next weekend!

My car is going in to RPM this Thursday.

Make sure you don't use the powerwindows.. New tint is going on Wednesday Afternoon :D

Fixing up the thermo's.. I need 2 relays for the Twin Thermos.. :)

I was going to get it tuned but I've got it running pretty well now, I've dropped the timing to std now that I'm making 15psi up at 7000rpm, don't want to risk pinging in the hotter weather we are coming in to and i've also wound the Fuel pressure Bleed all the way in as i don't like the idea of it leaning out at all in the mid range.

Anyway it feels quicker than it did when it dyno'd at 156rwkw.

Turbo is coming.. soon.. :) Then I'll get the ECU re-mapped and bring it back to tims to get a possibly final Dyno Read out :)

I'm aiming for at least 200rwkw.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
