f**k yeah finally the laurel has rego again!

vg30 turbo is runnin well at 14psi.

originally had the boost controller in backwards haha watched it spike to about 25psi haha.

and got a wheel alignment this mornin.

gone from -5.3 degrees on the rear to -3.5 degrees. and -2 on the front. drives alot nicer now.

really need to give the rear gaurds a slight flaring tho. haha

Nice Laurel mate..I've seen it at city dismantlers before??

I'm after some parts for mine (stock bumpers, corner lamps etc) if you can help that would be great just txt me 0400422460

Regards

Tom Monkhouse

cheers Tom.

yeah I used to work at AP Panel house in the city dismantlers complex but now im just bein a bum whilst trying to find a new job. haha.

Ive texted you regaurding the parts your after as i dunno how often you check on here,

ive got a lh corner light and a front bar but the front bar has been hacked up fairly well from the previous owners.

cheers

Danny

ok so im most likely goin to sell the eurolines to fund a set of wheels that fit better

thinkin these

RPF1SILVER.jpg

RPF1BLACK.jpg

in 17x8.5+30 and 17x9+30

rears will basically perfect fronts will sit in a bit but i have no issues with runnin spacers.

what does everyone think?

  • 3 weeks later...

top ones? as in the silver enkei?

thats pretty much what ive decided on haha. but possibly 9+30 for the rear. gonna test fit some wheels clost to them specs soon and see how they sit.

also shimmed up the diff tonight.

1 x 1.4mm shim, instant locker.... wasnt plannin on it bein a locker but ohwell haha

least it wont single spin like it was haha

oh lol.

yeah id like meisters..

but findin a decent set (ie thatll fit without touchin my gaurds) isnt gonna be easy i assume.

its a long way off yet either way. need to sell the eurolines before i make any serious moves to get new wheels.

  • 1 month later...

ok so eurolines are sold.

now back to the search for wheels haha.

found a set of panasports in 8/9 +20 and +30ish.

for aout 600...

but yeah gonna keep lookin to see if anythin cool comes up.

wouldnt mine a set of meisters/professors.

still avnt gotten the recaros in yet haha.

probs just gonna buy some new rails i think instead of waiting to have my current recaro rails modified.

also still having issues with the laurel having a hesitation between 1500-3500 rpm.

ive bypassed the knock sensors and its still happening. currently lookin for an r32 rb20 ecu so i can have it nistuned and see wtf is happening.

anyone know of one laying around?

    • Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel
