Nah I won't be sticking with standard cams. Either gunna put in tomei ones or thinking about sending my head off to Lewis engines and getting the ultimate race head package.

Yeh I'm still undecided on what I'm gunna do yet so just got it installed anyways. The engine won't be getting installed for awhile. Still have to buy asr race sump, nitto oil pump, Ross balancer, 6boost highmount manifold, plazmaman plenum before I install it.

f**k looks like plans have changed again. Got f**ked over with the bloke building my engine so gunna start buying parts for a RB26/30. Will be buying a new rb26 head off justjap and nitto Pistons and rods this weekend. Just have to find a decent RB30 series 2 block.

Basically the engine I was buying/getting built the bloke talked abit if shit about some of the details on the internals nd I clicked on nd seen some evidence of scratches/marks on the Pistons but thought it was just the camera angle nd light but turns out they came from a engine that lost oil nd seized up bad so that explains the marks. Plus seen a ad on eBay from him with for a damaged rb25/30 so that tipped me over the edge to what he was doing. Trying to make his money back he lost on the original engine. No big loss only lost my deposit.

Gunna buy the rips complete rb30 forged bottom end now nd then get a rb26 head built by Lewis engines.

Just purchased a turbo from Hypergear there new ATR45 sat external gate. Have to send of my manifold to havoc fabrications to get modified for the external gate and screamer. I've decided to get this thing ready and on the track asap then I will concentrate on the 26/30 build. Sending the car off this week to get the sunroof hole fixed then will be sent of to get all the parts installed and tuned by Trent and chequered tuning.

Just picked up my new Hypergear turbo ss2 external gate with v band. Next step I will be sending this off this week along with stock manifold to havoc fabrications to get modified to run external gate and also get a screamer pipe, dump pipe and decat made up as well.

Dropped the car off at havoc fabrications tonight. Can't wait to pick it up once it's all done. Might be getting some extra work done while it's there. Door cards and maybe even getting a front splitter made up as well.

Yeh abe done so work on my daily and I was very pleased with his work quality. Stoked I've finally got someone to help me finish off the car to how I want it. I'm also keen to see what power it all make as well. Hopefully I can get close to the 350rwkw mark on e85. I'm ditching the power fc and upgrading to the Haltech platinum pro and getting Trent from chequered tuning to tune it.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • 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...
