Motorkhana happened, twas awesome.

Nothing broke, it held up really well, water temp didn't go over 94, and oil 95.

Decided to get somewhat more serious about track work, its way more fun than owning a loud sound system,

so old mate Sean came over and we started stripping her down.

All up including boot liner, subs amps head unit 4 speakers a tv and a ps4, it weighed around 130kg!!

Still gotta do something about all that dynamat, it must weigh a tonne.

Just heard from Scotty that my intake pipe and injectors are on their way, so all thats left is to see Tao at Hypertune to have my stock turbs high flowed.

At this stage I owe a thanks to -

TDR tuners in North Geelong, put a decent tune on my piggy back system.

SAU - tutorials on the forums, good advice, and chit chats with members.

Auto Pro Drysdale - for supplying me with my oils, filters, fittings, and all other random things for a discounted price!

TAS weld Moolap - for welding on intercooler (macko job).

Jessie Street - Because Jessie Streeter is a fkn BAWS.

Dad, and all my mates for pitching in.

and probably some others. Thanks to you guys for getting me where I am right now :)

Great Ocean Road cruse coming up this weekend, then I think I'll pull the car off the road and install power fc, z32, injectors, high flow turbo, and then put it back together and get it tuned on E85.

More updates soon.

When the time comes for a tune I'll have a fresh set gapped down to .8

Plugs might get fowled during tune though?

I wonder if fouled plugs would affect tune? I'm going through race pace so I doubt it will be an issue.

but for now running 11-12psi so she'll be right

Things are moving along faster than expected, had a friend help me start re-spraying the bonnet, front bar and lip (still got from 1/4's and side skirts to come) just to remove any stone chips and crap.

Embedded the top gear logo into the paint, just trying something new. turned out sweet!

And while he was doing that I started removing my turbo - taking it to Tao tomorrow for his high flow service.

Also will install everything form here, injectors, z32, power fc, waste gate, earls braided lines etc etc...

Then throw it on a trailer and take it to Race Pace.

Slight change of turbo, not getting my stock OP6 high flowed because full boost by 4k rpm is too laggy for me. So found a 21U (r33 standard) and am having that high flowed instead (full boost by 3500rpm). going to race pace wednesday

Who's highflow didn't make full boost til 4000rpm? I'm sure that can't be right, my SS2 makes full boost at around 3700rpm and it's low mount internal gate

^ your lucky buddy my ss2 makes full boost at 4000.. mine has a few restrictions though.. dan and i spoke to stao in person he said his op6 highflow will make full boost at 4k rpm

Same here, my low mount stock mani ATR43SS2 is currently making 275rwkw on 98, full boost at just over 4000rpm. Certainly a lot less responsive than my stock OP6 @ 200rwkw.

No build thread at present but here's the spec list and dyno sheet: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/55845-rb25-turbo-upgrade-all-dyno-results/?p=7370873

So had the car tuned on E85 at RacePace, the car came out with an impressive 300+ mw's and some incredible torque figures.

The car was making full boost just like a standard turbo!

Went and did a track day at sandown and ran a best time of 1:35, and absolutely cooked the brakes, so upgraded to EBC track pads (blue stuff)

post-89929-0-89351100-1438757951_thumb.jpg

Went to Phillip Island with the new brakes, and they worked a treat.

Ran a best time of 1:59

I've made other minor changes like changed the exhaust system to 3" pipe into the 6" cannon, makes the car a lot louder.

and coil overs, I'd like to do a beginners drift day to see how I like it so setting up the suspension and handling accordingly.

Thats all for now, more updates to come soon :)

Nice build thread mate. Good to see you finally moved on from the stereo :P
I can't make too much fun, I went through the same phase back in the day, just not in a Skyline haha. Nice responsive power figure from the setup too.

Besides trying out some drifting whats the plans? Personal recommendation regarding any track attendance, besides practice practice practice, would be to chuck some bigger swaybars on there. Made a world of difference on my GTT :)

Hey Tim, the next plans would in fact be sway bars, I've been looking and researching them recently, was going to get a thick 27mm for the rear to really get it sideways, I'm still undecided where I want to go next, I don't want to drift (this car) professionally coz it will get wrecked! I just want to do a beginners/learners day and give it a decent crack.

Otherwise I'd have to say I really enjoy motorkhana, its not as serious as track days, also I'm going to run it down the quarter mile soon to see what it can do :P

What size sways bars did you buy? thoughts on going for a 27mm for rear straight away?

Good plan :)

I started thrashing my GTT with motorkhanas, progressed to drifting, got sick of breaking things and have now moved to circuit/hill climb/supersprint.

I have Whiteline 24mm adjustable front and rear. The rear has always been at its stiffest setting (made a huge difference when I was drifting) and the front was in the middle to begin with but I have stiffened it right up now too since moving more towards grip.

If you have any questions don't be afraid to shoot me a PM :)

Thats good to hear Tim, I thought the 27mm for the rear was a bit too much, is yours a S2? do you have the helical diff? I thought I had shagged it out at a track day when it was single pegging out of corners, turns out it was just shit grip/ to much low pressure. You ever had any dramas with your diff?

where did you get your sway bars from? ebay?

And thanks Peter :)

all good, ebay has them at decent prices, and is your 34 a S1 or 2? I believe that the S1 had some crappy mechanical LSD like the r33 but the S2 (mine) a more betttererer helical that was apparently made by true track?

Mine is a 1998 model so it would be an S1. I believe it had a torsen diff? Not too sure, didn't look in to the stock diffs too much, just knew it wasn't sufficient for my needs haha.

Ebay pricing is usually pretty reasonable. Someone on SAU (I think it was sydneykid or someone?) sells kits and can get the swaybars too, otherwise maybe chek out the SAU traders as well.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
