Peak hour in Forster?

haha, you bloody drongo, Sydney

I had an hour the day I picked it up getting to the freeway to get home, 1 1/2 dropping it off for the first lot of work and a 10 second one getting across Tuncurry bridge, lol

mist have been something wrong, I had an os triple, and it was a pleasure to drive with.

try a quad with nothing happening until 5000 + around in bumper traffic, bloody nightmare at first. Once I got a little torque it was much better and I think it would have been easy with the 30/26 build BUT it was suggested to me that a Coppermix twin plate would be easier on the box, so I took the advice :)

Drove in for about 1000Klms while I ran the motor in, then took Sydney again for the final tune = 1st Dyno Graph, drove it home , still a heap of shit for a DD, drove it back to Sydney a few months later for a few changes = 2nd Dyno Graph , much easier to drive but not as a responsive street car = the build , hopefully the end :)

Pete you're taking this very calmly. If I got sent a copy of my car being stripped I'd be :angry: Hang on though are you sure you said BUILD the car???? :wacko:

I know, you are on the red again, haha

Lol.

Buys car with fresh 2.6, tries a few things and realises it's still a nugget. Cracks the shits and goes all out with the biggest stroker on the market.

This guy is alright!

Can't wait for that first message or phone call when it's all finished!!!!

Hi Paul, I have to get it home first :)

I am sure it will be better than the first trip home, got bucked off about 3 times in the first Klm, felt like a right DH, there was no trying to beat the traffic across the road I can tell you that, haha

Had a twin plate os on the 2.6 with twin gtrs'.

It drove ok in traffic.

Creeping in stop start, bumper to bumper on the motorway.

As I've told everyone, after the 3l, I won't go back.

How is would love to be able to afford the 3.4.

One day.......

One day.

Hi Luke, 3.4, stroker ?, which one would you get?

Glad to hear you think the Twin Plates are good for a DD

If you get a chance drive a 2.6 with a T78-D, set up peaky, with a new OS Quad and 2-way LSD in dumper traffic for an hour or so, it is all very on/off, I had not driven a stick for 8 years when I jumped into this thing to drive it home. Like everything, it gets easier the longer you use it.

is that an offer? ;)

As Piggaz has posted, I'd go the spool kit.

The only kit I know of currently for the rb30.

Seems they have had decent success with it.

Is Spools the best ?

Are HKS and the Brian Crower 3.4 Strokers only for 2JZs ?

No, they are however the only 3.4 RB kit

Yes

Yes

You got IMO the best off the shelf RB30 stroker, Nitto 3.2 FTW

Edit: refresh before posting :D

I would have loved you to drive it, Paul only had to look at the 1st Dyno and said it would be a shit as a DD, too late now , 3.2 yeah :)

When I bought the car, a few young blokes were laughing at me when I told them of my first trip home. They were putting shit on me about my driving skills, so I let them take it for a spin, the only thing spinning were their heads as it chirped ,bucked and stalled down the street, sooooooo funny after all of their big talk, then I drove it away. Non of them had driven a quad clutch before, guess you had to be there :)

The Spools seems to be the way to go,all the best once you get the $$$$$s together for the 3.4, that should be interesting :woot:

No, they are however the only 3.4 RB kit

Yes

There seemed to be a few concerns about the 3.4 longevity and functionality from a few things I read, 9 months ago so I cannot remember the exact reason/s but enough for me to go with the Nitto 3.2 if I was going to stroke it.( the Motor)

I did read a lot of Forums and reviews and listened to you blokes on SAU that were like minded before I made the final decision and can only hope I did the right thing, guess I will find out soon :/

How funny would it be if I hate it , I would not tell anyone and just drive the Tiida, haha

Have to ask, you blokes know that I am not going all out on this build, it is a very simple RB30/26 build, no big turbo/s, big cams and all the other mods needed for big power.

Just a PT6262 CEA, 260 10.8 cams , one 460LPH Walbro pump, not sure what the injectors are on it, maybe 700cc, oil and water OK.

CRD building and tuned for response.

Have an educated guess, what do you think the final AWKW will be on 98 pump.

Just interested if you blokes can get close, when I spoke to Jim he said around 400awkw ish, I have mentioned this before and been howled down for such a small estimation but that is what we spoke about, but with very good response.

Just have a guess, don't need any shit dumped on me, well, not too much :)

just buy a nissan leaf for a DD...

going to be dead a long time, I will go with the R :)

Had to edit, maybe it would be a good idea to go with the leaf, life would seem twice as long driving that :/

If I like a car I never get sick of driving it :no:

    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
