I had cam gears too, forgot to mention on the mod list.

Was planning on injectors, pump, Nismo AFM's and EBC to milk out as much power as I dared, that never happened (binned the car @ DECA few months later).

Feck, I miss that car.

Ahh well that explains the mid range difference!

350rwkw should be quite achievable on these setups with E85.

Seen -9's go 350rwkw on 98 with a built engine. The one in NSW, Nick I think his name is? Would be interesting to see his on E85!

Buy another one :P

Yeah, would like to buy another one even though I've bought 3x GTR's after this one... :unsure:

Know of 350rwkw -9s set up, yeah Nick aka Levinboy. I'm sure you've seen a E85 result of 370rwkw - forgot the blokes name.

That would be usmair, his mph didn't back up the power figure though but apparently he was having some problems.

Haven't heard anything about him going back to the drags or jumping on another dyno to confirm power figure.

Another e85 result that surprises me is Nathan's which is also on Trent's dyno. 379rwkw, -7 and e85.

Even my mate Grech's result is 36xrwkw, -7, e85 on Racepace's dyno.

Would be interesting to see more e85 results with these small turbo setups to get some comparisons

Hey Micheal,

Any GTR with -9's pushing 350rwkw is already plenty. Once you start to go over that those turbs tend to run out of efficiency.

I would be happy with just 350rwkw with lots of of response rather than more poahwa and more lag.

having said that I cant really talk. Cause I have opted for -5 :wacko:

I heard my name wassssup haha

Like ants said I'm getting to the end of the efficiency range of the -9s

Next year maybe will go full flex setup but quite happy with the way the car is on 98

As the car is my daily ;)

Anth, my thoughts exactly. If it makes more then great, but 350kw peak power would be plenty enough.

If I can get say 220kw by 4000rpm, and 300kw by 5000rpm, that would be ideal.

Are you going to use e85 Anth?

Can't wait to see the results of yours being tuned!

Haha! SAU famous!

Yeah, flex fuel would be best if it were a daily. I'm just lucky to still be driving my old bomb so can justify going on E85.

And that way I never have to sacrifice the power :P

Hey mate, nice build! Car looks lovely :)

Just completed the fuel pump rewire a couple of days ago

How's this wiring setup held out so far? Any leaks through the connector or did you seal it up with epoxy or something similar?

Cheers :)

There's no opportunity for leaks as the wiring you see in the 2nd pic connects to two terminals on the lid and there's another plug underneath. Some people change to the thicker cable

all the way down to the fuel pump but I've not heard of any issues with people using this method and I haven't had any thus far.

Hi mate,

Yes, I will be going E85 but not for run-in tune. We will go E85 after that for full poahwa tune ;)

Have a look at my build thread - some dyno footage is already is up.

So, been a while since last update.

Car has seen some changes.

Xspurt 1000cc injectors, Nismo AFMs, PFC, advanced the intake cam, E85 and some more boost.

20140814_205034_zpsnpdr7gds.jpg

As a result, 363kw peak power and 597Nm peak torque.

Blue line = 21psi on E85

Pink line = 18psi on E85

Red & Green line = 18psi on 98

Very happy with the gains particularly at 4000rpm.

One thing though, water pump bearing gave way on the last run due to me getting a little bit too excited on the alternator belt tension when removing timing cover.

Water pump is on the way, so hopefully will have the whale back in action next week.

Sensational results Mike

Great to see updates

Also glad to see you are willing to use the car on track :thumbsup:

Cheers Anth, glad to see you jumping on the E85 wagon too! You'll be joining the 400kw club I guess!

don't fancy the idea of high oil temps though. Use Edge 10w60 but still gets pretty warm on the factory gauge (around halfway - not so sure what that is, but I guess 120?) when going through the hills

So, was speaking to my mate with a 33 gtr as well and his words were that the line just before 150 thats not marked with a temperature is approx 120deg on the factory gauge.

Could someone confirm this? Because I've been thinking halfway is around 120 this whole time and backing off.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
