Lol. Here we go. Whore thread ahoy!

Sorry, didnt mean to start anything, was the first thing that came to my mind. Must get out of the gutter lol.

Out of curiosity, how do you expect the new dampers to compare to something like the ohlins flag r's?

Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Haha. I don't care mate. Whore away :D

Well, I ain't spending all this money for nothing ;).

What I have in there ATM is basically a flag R, just with a Nismo sticker on it. On the canister you see "Ohlins" written on the canister. Time will tell.

If you dont mind me asking, how much are they charging to do the setup for you? PM me if you like.

Just interested as ive been looking at flag r's or r tunes for my 32R, but if these are just as good or better at a fraction of the cost, it may also be a viable option for me as well.

Staying with remote reservoir?

Me reservoir. The body of the shock is a bilstien PSS9 with Dejan's specs.

My set won't be able to be put into a R32. Totally different suspension setup. How much are you looking at spending? These definately are not "budget" but they're not $10,000 either.

Ill pm you more info.

Yeah, judging by your comments i assumed you used to have (well still have for now) nismo r-tunes, which have a remote reservoir.

I know that R32 and R33 GTR's have a different setup, different weight and geometry, which is why yours would be no good for a 32.

"Budget" is not what im after, and yours is sounding like a good option.

Yeah, please PM me some info if you could, im quite intrigued.

Out of interest is it only the nismo r tune coilovers that have the remote reservoir or do the s tunes as well? Reason I ask is I have some sort of nismo suspension in my 34 at the moment and it has a remote reservoir just not sure exactly what it is

So Nick, it turns out you didn't steal my box of gold parts :D. Roll centre adjuster kit and tie rod ends here. That pretty much completes the underneath of the car. I think the only rubber/plastic bush mount on the car is gearbox mounts and engine mounts. ALL the arms are pillow ball and rear diff bushes are alloy.

Dampers should be at Unigroup by now. Booked in for the 31st.

Haha. Not sure if it would have made any difference. These things are heavy/solid as hell!

      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.

      iPad gauge cluster

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
