It's definitely going to pull a skin of a stale custard now pete! Good work [emoji106]

haha, love those old sayings .

It is going to seem forever waiting until Monday, but :banana:

Short story on what to put in R34 GTR box: I know people use a variety of synthetic atfs but upshot is both Nissan and Getrag say do not use anything but correct OEM fluid which is available from Toyota Dealers (and presumably from Nissan).

Quote:

Spoke to Getrag themselves and they insist on using Dexron II oil because these gearboxes were designed with bushing that do not suit modern synthetic oils.
I am now going to use Toyota T IV.

The long story is in the attachment...

Hi Bob, so Nissan have other oil products for modified cars to help soften the shock to the gears once you have extra torque/power . I think in the old days they stuffed bananas in diffs and boxes :woot: just to quieten them down a bit, well until the buyer was out of sight, lol

Cars were so much easier when I just bought the bloody thing and drove it, instead of this crazy modifying drug.

Just thinking, if needing grog and other drugs is called an "illness" and you can be treated at no cost, can I get some generic parts for my car on some sort of hand out program , because I am hooked ???

If not I will cop a few bottles of red on the cuff :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

Awesome result Pete, good to see with a couple of changes and a tuner that took the time to find and fix the problems you got the power this thing should have been putting out from the start!

So many tuners don't even perform pre dyno checks like an intake pressure test for e.g.......

......I'll take your R34 box of ya cheap when you put the OS88 in ;)

Yeah, he did a great job, looked at what could be holding it back and crossed them off and moved on . It is ready to pick up but I am tied up with my daughter's sport over the weekend.

The BOX, you might only have to run behind the car with a box and pick it up for free :yes: :yes:

5 degrees from where exactly, my guess would be CRD found correct 0 and that is 5 deg retard on the cam gear which would make sense of the inlet being 3 deg retarded also

That sounds like it could be right, he had to get 0 and that was in the retarded position, I think :yes::no::yes::no::yes::special:

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
