what did you do to them excatly? id love some pics hahaha the setup looks the same as a r33 one thats why were baffled at the problem

Drilled the plastic factory 90 out and replaced with a speedflow fitting... Have pics but no idea where, found it for another 34 owner the other day but i think it was on FB

I have had no issues maxing an e85 Walbro without drilling or modifying the fuel tank at all.

Well that is a good sign... But i doubt the filter is a restriction as i run the paper type and have no issues!

Hey guys,

This is a neat little club going on here and I've decided I would like to join it!

Need a little advise before I get there though. Obviously number 1 issue for most people is money, so I have 15K to achieve my 300kw dream (including price of car)

I've found an r32 with S1 Rb25 conversion with following mods already on it

Engine:

HKS EVC 3

Nistune ECU

Front Mount I/C with hard piping kit
3" Turbo back exhaust, high flow cat
Walbro 255lph in tank fuel pump

Gearbox:

RB25DET Gearbox
Exedy Heavy Duty Clutch
Custom Tailshaft to suit new gearbox
Standard Differential

Suspension / Handling:
BC BR Coilovers
Cusco Fixed Upper Camber Arms -3 deg
Hardrace adjustable Rear camber arms
Hardrace adjustable Rear traction rods
Rear Adjustable toe arms with Lock bar
Front R34 GTR disk brake upgrade

Price of car is gonna set me back (9-10K based on negotiations and is also the reason for this exercise to see if buying the car is worth it for my goals)

Based on what the car has I think it covers all the odds and ends that aren't directly related to power but is needed anyway, so the rest of my budget can go on go fast bits

With 5/6K left my shopping list to get me to 300kw is:

GT3076r low mount kit - $3200 (could go GTX instead for $200 more...undecided)

Xspurt 1000cc injectors - $775 (same price as 750's, figure why not)

Z32 AFM - $150 - $200

Turbo Smart FPR 800 - $270

Tuning = $1000 (guessing)

Total = $5500

I don't think any of that is over complicated to install myself but have obviously budgeted for professional tuning.

Now...is there any holes in my plan, anything that will have my hopes and dreams come crashing down on me? I have read a good chunk of this thread and based on other results I don't think I would be far off.

I have not purchased or made a final decision on this particular car, so if this combo will not work I will explore other options, so suggestions are welcome

I have been through the rb25 turbo thread and this one so I know there is plenty of info out there, i'm not trying to get someone to do the work for me, but it would be nice to get an outside opinion on my plans to either set my mind a bit more at ease or prevent me from making a mistake.

Thanks!

I wouldn't know... I fell short of the 400 mark by 9 little bastard wasps :P

Why the stainless fuel filter? I run paper filters and they are not a restriction is setup correctly?

Closer than me, sprung an oil leak last dyno day, stopped at 365 due to starting to make too much of a mess :whistling:

Might have to go again, still on 98e10 but should be able to wind some more out of it :D

Well that is a good sign... But i doubt the filter is a restriction as i run the paper type and have no issues!

Perhaps the brand or part number was different, but both times I have seen it on 34's the filter was an issue. Probably just blocked with gunk, but they were changed recently...

At least the tank setup is good for 430 or more kw in the 33 and 34.

I have seen a couple max out, base pressure and boost pressure were pretty close though I think. 40 psi base with 30 psi boost. You could get a bit more out of them by dropping the base pressure a little.

You should see at least 400kw, these maxed at 430 and 450.

Just buy a car with 300rwkw already, if you do buy this car buy a $900 highflow instead, will save you getting defected (you will), and when you are $2k short due to a bunch of things breaking that you didn't expect you will be able to afford them. Just stuff like tyres, random broken stuff, trust me you will get caught out.

Wise words.

Remember 300rwkw is useless without good Diff/clutch/tyres

300rwkw can be quite a handful if the car isn't set up properly.

Trouble is that everyone can have 300 pretty easily on a relatively stock car

Or buy an awd base to begin with if you want traction. ;)

:yes: Once i got my suspension and diff all sorted the car was a lot more fun to drive! And a lot quicker too!

FYP. :P

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
