Low oil pressure is now fully understandable!!! Poor stock pistons were putting out over 450whp so they've had a hard life!!!

PS - same wheels as meeeeeeee

PPS - are you going to do some track days with the new engine? Might wanna do brakes too - Ksport 356mm 8pot brake kit is under $2k from UK with EBC Blue pads and they work a bloody treat!!! You know you wanna do it :)

Yeah, we are still not sure but it most likely will be the cause.

Yeah love the RPF1s :) I think yours was the reason why I bought some im not sure... I have to do some trolling lol.

If I do track days I will most likely go DBA4000s until I decide that my calipers need upgrading I want AP Racing mmmmmm AP Racing...

will be good to see the vcam

should make it quite fast

The V-Cam will be more a lets make it more responsive over fast. but in turn will be quick down the straight :)

I have asked but my goal is 500hp on pump which is achieve able :) given with the quicker response then = WINNING good street/track on occasion car :) then project number 2 will start.

Could you pm me what they charging for for VCT setup thinking of going Down this road for my new build

Your best bet would be to talk to Dan from Elite Racing Developments or ERD for short.

I know they have to drill a oil gallery in the head and then they change cam profiles etc....

Hyper6 Sean my tuner, he is running it in his 32 GTR atm with a T04z runs 1000rpm earlier on the dyno graph its pretty awesome I will try and see if I can get him to post it up or Dan might have a copy.

Well not much has happened, the block has been sent off to the machinist should arrive back early next week from what I have heard, I have received my heater hoses from Performance-Wise and I received my CAS Sensor gasket from Kudos Motorsports.

The engine covers are being painted up along with all the bits and pieces that can be painted of the engine.

I am getting very excited to see the results of the build I am aiming to push 500hp on pump with then going the VCT set up.

Once I get to that I will be then setting the car up with the right suspension settings, brakes etc.

Unfortunately my car will most likely be just as complete as I am going under the knife for hand surgery lol.

Edited by EAT26

no good on the hand mate.

how is everything looking?

I thought Sean was using a different turbo - not a Z?

Ohhh such is life, shit happens lol. I want to keep the bone they remove tho... I am hoping I can it put in with my series of events... Cracked piston, Destroyed Shoei Motorbike Helmet and Bone... lol. would be a good show case lol.

Yeah everything is looking good, got offered some Grex brakes yesterday I am tempted however I want more the engine to be set up right so focusing on that lol.

Nah I am pretty sure its a Z but it might be a differenct brand version of the Z tho.

haha you're a mad bastard.

Grex brakes wouldnt be too bad, I found a set yesterday while lurking :D

Ah, I cant remember exactly anymore - proboost is ringing a bell though

;)

I got offered a set yesterday for swaps of my stock brembo's with 1500 his way ;)

Yeah I think its the proboost version of the Z

go the AP 6 piston fronts, 350 rotors are what i run and they go well on the street and track, 380 if ya really feel the need is available too :P

keep stock rears, or if you wanna upgrade, the 34 brembo's, but generally with good rotors and pads the stock rears are fine.

I have added a few extra things to the build list.

Tomei Sump Baffle

ERD Catch Can Set up.

And I am looking at the Mines Cam baffles....

Oil control is starting to be a thing for me.... not so good for my pocket hahaha.

Engine covers, Plenum, Turbo intake pipe and Strut bar should be all painted and finished tonight.... Might be able to pick them up tomorrow touch wood.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
