hi guys im neil and this is the story of my 2nd r34 skyline that i plan to build as a track car. DSC03692.jpg how i got it.Standard (no rego or wof, gtr rims, Cwest front kit, manual conversion) DSC03893.jpg full kit. (stolen from a friend adrians r34) DSC04274.jpgDSC04277.jpg the begining of the turbo conversion (fmic, 3inch exhaust, rb25det turbo, link g4) DSC04675.jpg conversion finished dynoed at 180kw (scraficing a diff to the drift gods on the dyno)

next i had it certed, needed to tie engine loom back from rubbing on steering rack, wheel alignment and replace leaky adjustys.

the wide body kit. after seeing adrians r34 with it on i had to put the guards on mine too (with ducktape 1st)

then rivited (drift spec with crome rivits)

with pant thanks craig.(with carbon wing)


THIS IS WHERE IT WAS AT WHEN IT WAS STOLEN!


i have since gotten the shell back with a rb20de in it with my turbo etc bolted to it,painted matt black

and everything done to a prity poor standard or not finished at all.


NOW THE STORY CONTINUES...

after i got it back

the car was a mess so i pulled the rb20de+t out and degressed the engine bay.


rb25deplust.jpg

the engine after i pulled it out, sold engine for 250 and turbo for 250 yay.

IMGA0082.jpg

the new engine, rb25de neo was a good engine last time around but this time with a much bigger turbo.

and if 370cc injectors are to small then some 800cc denso injectors might work.


IMGA0079.jpg

starting the rebuild from the ground up i might aswell start at the back. (old sunframe)


IMGA0080.jpg

new wc34 stagea subframe (25mm wider both sides)


have adjustable arms to go in too but will snap a pic when its all back together.

does anyone know what the rubber mounted weights are on the ends of the subframe?

they just bolted on to the stagea subframe but i thing they may get in the way of bolting in the r34

my factory subframe didnt have these (photos in previous post)



todays effort before it got tooo cold outside.

IMGA0084.jpg


gloss black with chrome arms. (not bad)


IMGA0085.jpg


I didnt paint diff or axles as i might go with a 5x1 diff and axles.

it goes in tomorrow.

thanks mate i had a look under the car and was plenty of room for the weight things.


IMGA0087.jpg


got it in and all hooked up. or asleast as far as i could, then went to help a mate gib stop his sleepout, well just watched as he worked.

took the front subframe apart this weekend been looking at ways to get more lock but for skylines it really comes down to knuckles and steering rack spacers.


IMGA0089.jpg


i was going to move the steering rack forward on the subframe but been told its not really needed as the binding that is created from xtra steering lock is only an issue with silivas


IMGA0090.jpg


and now i have a spare set of knuckles to play with and big brakes that come with em tee hehe


IMGA0092.jpg


these will help with ajustability and they came with the set i got for rear.


i will be ditching the abs now tho because these new hubs dont have abs sensor... oh well.

argh my back hard day driving forklift yesterday twisted my back.

harder day working on my car


DSC05106.jpg


got the subframe back in mm fits like a glove. and the steering coloum has plenty of length left for the spline to hold onto.


DSC05109.jpg


steering rack spacers in and loctie in place.


DSC05110.jpg


tomlin knuckles in place and adjustable caster arms in.


tomorrow brakes and time to roll it out of the garage and clean the garage floor.

the cr@p that falls out of these cars is amazing.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
