Hi there.

32's come out looking pretty cool. Be interesting to see where the forged engine can take it. Keep up the solid work.

Also bit late new if any, regarding rims. But did you ever look at Impul R5 rims? I used to have a set on my Zed and i was super impressed with how light they were. Should never have sold them to be honest. Look like this...

Oh wow I thought they were called Impul RS (not R5). I had zero luck finding anything nearly as close as the rims I got and even those were difficult to source.

You definitely should've kept them!

Update. Broke front diff on the dyno :(

We have a problem with power being delivered to the front 50:50 and cant change it no matter what we do, ie disconnect pump etc

Feels as though it is mechanically locked in 4wd, at rest when the car is on stands you can roll the rear wheels and the fronts turn is this normal?

IMO, based purely on observations thats because its very hard to rebuild an engine thats as well balanced as a good stock motor out of the factory. I've been in a few stock engine GTRs and a few rebuilt motors and the 2 or 3 rebuilt ones Ive had contact with all feel like they have bad vibrations and balance purely from a mechanical point of view, nothing to do with the tune, and I say this because even when you rev the engine to say 4000rpm and kill the engine it grinds to a halt like a tractor engine. Thats purely the momentum of the parts coming to a stop.

I knew a guy that had the stock motor, his car ran smooth, did a full rebuilt for some reason or another and afterwards the engine ran very coarse coarse. I think the vibrations just cause so much more friction and stresses on components that you end up spinning a bearing or breaking a rod or scraping the cylinder wall from piston slap etc. I'd rather have a 500hp well built and tuned stock internals motor than a 700hp fully rebuilt one.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
