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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
