Lol. Someone came back :D.

How far is your workshop from rydges at north Sydney? We have a credit for $300 to stay there from last year when we were supposed to come down but my wife got pregnant and we didn't feel comfortable flying. I'm considering driving down so you can do my tuning.

Oh dear. If you can't tell the difference between foot pounds and nm you're screwed. Id get someone else to assemble...

Also, there is a special tool that you use to file rings.

How the hell did you do it?

I thought you were actually starting to do well... until.

I wouldnt be sure of myself with a fresh built engine, Id get someone experienced to this stuff just so I know its done right, the money spent on engaging someones experience now will be money and worry saved in the long run...

How were you going to drive down to sydney area to get the car tuned, would that mean you would be driving it all that way untuned?

doesnt sound like a good idea to me...

I read the wrong side of the torque wrench. It was only the oil filter mount and thermostat housing anyway.

I'm getting it put on a dyno before I drive it to make sure the tune is safe for running it in. And I was going to hold the wastegate open for run in anyway.

Wat?

You need pressure in the cylinder to bed the rings.

I was thinking the same thing Wolverine, I admit I have made mistakes in the past but the less people that know them the better. lol.

When asking for help its good for you all to know what has happened up until now. I've got nothing to hide. I admit I made some mistakes but it's all a learning curve.

The only concern I have is that I may have a few dog hairs in my engine, I think everything else has worked out ok.

Trust me I will be doing minimal driving until its tuned properly. With a baby on the way I can't afford to do this again.

How long does it take to run in an engine on a dyno vs in the road. Liked if I get my tune checked, I might just go for a late night mountain drive. I'm thinking mt nebo and mt mee and mt cootha all in one night. That should get me my 200km before the first oil change.

Yeah I'm using the hypergear atr43 ss-1. Going to run 14psi or as low as possible if I can't get the low.

Ok kewl, il plug it and if there is an error il know why, this big earth terminal plate is driving me nuts too.

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
