Great looking R-tune's you have there. I'll be interested to hear how streetable they are compared to the S-tunes. I want that adjustability of the Rtunes, without added harshness. Ie... no rougher to drive than the s-tunes.

Ian, They're alot firmer than the S tunes for sure. I have had them in and did maybe 100 kms but 36 hours before the Nats I had to pull them back out :domokun: . I don't really drive the car that often on the street so I spose I can put up with it a little. The S tunes are great on the street but feel a little lack luster on the track. The R tune spring rates are 12 F and 10 R IIRC, so yeah, firm.

Just wait till this years nats, i'll chuck you the keys and see if you like them or not.

Annddd the rears are in :D

I'd like that but won't be making it to the Nats this year. At the moment I have a choice... go to the nats or finish my next engine. Only if work picks up a lot over the next 2 months can I consider doing both.

A few goodies turned up today.

First my crank

Second my quaife front diff centre.

Pistons arrive next week sometime. Sump will be dropped off to Racepace in Melbourne to get modified to their specs. 9.5 Litre oil changes will get exxy!

is that diff a 1.5way LSD?

It's a.... Different diff.

They don't have clutch packs in them, they have gears.

Gav and R32TT (Matty) have them in their cars and love them to bits. They do the same sort of driving as what we do so that was good enough.

Time will tell.

looks nice paul.

That extra oil capacity is good insurance, only 2x5ltr bottles :)

Cheers karnt. Yeah, running round on semis and a stock sump isn't the smartest idea. Us NSW guys and our SBS (sump baffle syndrome) as Ash likes to call it :D

You have the N1 pump syndrome too lol

u better watch for those piggaz when u get it back on the road

Pics fresh in from the land of the rising sun.

A few pics of the head.

The 'marks' on the face of the head is just sticky gunk from it being packed up. A little bit of petrol and it will be sweet.

New 87 mm Tomei pistons with Ti top ring and Valve relief so I can run Vcam in the future if i want to be a dickhead.

HKS Step 2 valve springs.

JUN Ti retainers

Some pretty Tomei stickers :D

Parts missing are the exhaust manifolds which are matched to the head and I sent a manifold to turbine housing gasket to japan to be matched up.

Cams are missing

I also had a 'balance tube' port matched up.

Parts will come in dribs and drabs to not get anally bashed by customs!!!

Block and rods were taken down to the engine builder on Friday. When the pistons arrive the crank and the pistons will be taken down. Head will be in the country on the 12th of May.

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
