Haha yeah don't worry, if or when we sell the turbos you'll be the first to know. I'll keep you posted Verms.

At the moment I'm not so much after crazy amounts of power, more interested in response.

Cheers

Just 2 options IMHO that is.

Ditto Zebra's comments.

1. Keep the N1 and rebuild sensibley with some great forged pistons/rods. $10k

2. You can sell the N1 block for the price of a good new rebuilt RB26.

Dont get caught up in the chase for kw's.

There was a brief moment there where I got blinded by the thought of crazy amounts of power lol. I'm very glad that Jess stopped me from throwing all our money at it. I've had a chance to kind of step back and think and see that aiming for 800hp was a very bad idea. I don't need anywhere near that much power, especially on a street car lol.

Thanks for the advice Richard

You might not *need* it but 800hp is damn fun! :)

Some good advice from the guys here though.

Think about what you want to use the car for long term. I know my goals have changed a lot since I did my engine build and I have had to go back and fix things because of this.

Haha I can only imagine how much fun 800hp would be.

At the moment, long term, I'm thinking it would be awesome just to be able to drive this thing around. Build it so it's nice and solid. Nothing crazy but at the same time maybe spending a bit extra on things like oil pump/bigger sump. The gtr will definitely see the very occasional track day once it's driving again but we've decided it won't be the super sprint racer that I originally planned it to be. Once the gtr is back on the road I'll be looking for something else to be the dedicated track car. No idea what yet lol won't really worry to much about that til the gtr is back on the road.

I'm open to ideas though of you guys have any

Quick update:

So turns out how big an rb26 is in my head and how big it is in real life is completely different haha. Took dads falcon out to pick up everything this morning and only just managed to get everything except the block into the car lol. So will have to sort something else out to grab the block later on.

It's getting a little bit exciting now. Once everything is home I'll start pulling apart everything that we're not going to be using and selling it off. From there the parts collecting will begin!

Cheers mate,

Yeah I've seen those. Didn't know they were still for sale though. Would make things a hell of a lot cheaper haha but we've already bought the tickets to Japan so I don't have spare cash to buy one of these :(

Hi Drew - I hope it was you who got this off Fatz RB26 Long motor - rebuilt

Richard I really wish it was me but unfortunately I was to late. By the time I saw the add the engine was already gone :(

Thanks heaps for keeping an eye out though

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
