Was with the same club (Nissan Datsun Sports owners)...

My cams & club membership have both expired, so I'm probably going to join up with the maserati club when my radiator & oil cooler are fitted.

Cheers,

matt

Matt - which club are you with? I think a few of us will be there again May 30th with NDSOC.

The only minor hick-up which we're trying to sort out, is the car isn't starting consistantly. First we thought it was a battery issue, so replaced it with a bigger new battery. Helped but not much, so we think it could be a fuel issue related to the bosch pump... stay tuned.

MESHMESH:

RE: Boost threshold, I found when I went from a quality bleedvalve to electronic boost I actually found the car more laggy - just cant get it to come on like with that bloody blead valve.

RE my not incuding info on my different dyno graphs - that was because the only mod was a tune then re tune + EBC as stated in the post - "295 RWKW with standrd turbos/fuel system/internals" - speaks for itself i would have thought.

The last time I went out to Sandown, I found all the bumps & undulations on the main straight tended to upset the car under power which is bloody scarey at the top of 4th.

Hi Matt, we find Sandown is the only circuit we go to where you have to tune the suspension for the straight. We have to soften the spring rate, increase the ride height, decrease the shock settings on low frequency compression, increase the low frequency rebound damping and then stiffen up the anti roll bars to compensate. I have even tried removing the toe out from the rear and adding a bit of toe in for stability.

I don't know how much of this you can do, but just increasing the ride height 10 mm will help.

Any figures for your new torque output? I know the standard set-up allows for about 355Nm. Also, were the 2530's new or second hand? Who did the install and how long was your car off the road? What about a rough idea of the cost of install and turbo's? (ouch?) Im considering installing a similar set-up but maybe with some GT SS series twins.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
