Hi everyone,

Firstly I would like to say that I do not own a Skyline. I joined because there do not seem to be any active Canberra car related forums and this seems to be the one with the largest active member base.

I used to live in Canberra some 4-5 years ago and I plan to return within 1 year and was hoping to over time gather some information in regards to cars in Canberra.

I am a car enthusiast however in the recent years I have been "out of the scene" and with my planned return to Canberra I would like to once again be more involved.

Thanks for reading :)

Welcome Spetz

Ps. There are heaps on SAU who dont drive lines and all are welcome.

A good mix of car enthusiasts, mainly Skyline owners as there is good info in the forum's.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys :)

I will not be buying a Skyline any time in the near future, but I am hoping that in 2-3 years I may be in a position to buy myself a toy, however I have my eyes on an Evo X as the R35 is too expensive and the R34 GT-R is getting a bit old, but I am not excluding it for sure.

      Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
