I would not bother staying in Sydney if I were you. I'd drop the car off and go home. Then call them routinely and get updates.

Get a friend to drive with you and drive back

Doubt very much that I would be staying in Sydney.

I would not ask anyone to drive 8 hours so I can drop my car off, I just could not do that . Apart from the kids I am a bit of a loner, always have been :)

Got a date for retune yet Pete?

Not yet mate, they were tied up for a couple of weeks so maybe a couple of weeks or so, I do not want to give it to them unless they can start on it immediately, well hopefully, well maybe, well it could happen , haha

Sorry if its been covered earlier but is this the initial run in tune on a new motor? If so your tuner isn't going to push the tune hard straight up normally its very conservative in regards to timing ect. Just a few degrees extra will make a big gains in output.

Hi Ryan, not sure what graph you saw, this is the final tune

Have to take the car back in a week or so, there are a few ongoing problems to sort out and after that I have to think seriously about what I will do.

I think if I really want the car to run as it could with the build I need to dig into the pocket again :(

I might get the Dump and Cat changed and fuel situation sorted so it can handle it if I turn it up a bit. The exhaust is getting back pressure and the fuel is close to the max, so I an thinking of getting another Walbro 460 and running both into a surge tank, new lines and twin fuel rail. If I decide to do these mods, then I will then get the flex fuel tune done. I did not think it was worth doing the Flex Tune the way it is, it would struggle to take advantage of E85

Also thinking about getting CAI box done, the END :) AGAIN :)

I think he means twin entry rail.

You can get a good rail for $150 that will suit ID 1000/2000s

The real cost is in the lines and fittings,

You also don't need a massive fuel pump feeding the surge tank, as thats where fuel is returned too

and you definably don't need 2 feeding it.

I have a nismo lift pump and 2x walbro 400s in the surge tank feeding the rail

Even that is over kill in some people's opinion

Hi Joe

I will have to ask some more about all of this and there is plenty of time to work it out..

Yes, I think twin entry rail, I do not know the difference, I need to ask more questions and then have to look it all up :/

If I do this work naturally it will all be done before re tuning the the car for 98 and E85.

I have a near new Bosch 044, can that be used as a lift pump to the 460 Walbro in the tank to feed the rail. Are you saying that the standard fuel line is adequate on this build ??

I see blokes doing all sorts of mods on the fuel line and do not have the build I have, understand, I was not going to touch the car again and here I am, it is worse than f**king drugs :(

Still can't believe your running a 3 inch restriction in your exhaust. If that was on your original engine before, it could explain why it was so laggy. Hope you sort it out. Sounds as though it will be nice to drive.

They said I needed a 3.5 inch exhaust done with the previous work before the 3.2 build.. Then I checked the Dump and Cat after the build and they are 3 inch. I am going to a 4" Dump and maybe a 5" Venom Cat and see how that goes with the 3.5" back from the Cat. If there is a problem with that it will be changed.

I will go ahead with the fuel mods and the Flex Tune at some stage, I would rather overkill than pushing it . But I will wait until after it comes back from the repairs and see how it is running, maybe I will do nothing if I am happy with it???

I wouldn't bother with flex until they can completely get the 98 tune sorted . imagine the ecu scaling between 2 tunes, you're having enough problem with one tune.

Yeah Ben, it will be done before I do anything else, it will be interesting to see how it is going when it comes back

The excuse was that "it was setup for a 2.6L".

Out of interest Pete, what/who made you go for the 3.2L stroker in the first place? Given the expense it seems like a curious mod path (to me) given what you wanted from the motor and given you had no prior experience with RB motors!

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
