The idea behind putting it in the Projects section Pete is that more members will get visibility to it, I'm sure fewer members look in the RB30 section than they do the Projects section.

It's been a great read and I'm sure many others would enjoy having a read of the thread, and then hopefully eagerly awaiting future updates!! :)

PS. The surge tank enclosure looks great :thumbsup:

I was stiring mate, the thead is over for now and even if I wanted I do not know how the move the thread, lol

Thanks , I had a bit of Aluminium sheeting and a woman gave me a little scrap carpet that was pretty close to the colour in the boot and it came out OK but my back does not think so.

I will tell you my main gripe with some blokes on SAU that does not seem the same on other forums. They will take 20 to 100 words to tell you to search something and call you a wanker for not looking on the internet, even if you had tried to find the answers, instead of a 10 word answer or direct you to the site. Then when you finally find something on the web it can be up to 10 years old and as technology keeps changing , it is useless.

But it has been a fun ride with some good fishing , lots of bites and a few flatheads caught, haha

Thing is Pete I would be so flippin annoyed and so mad about the fact that you only need 25 more kw to break 500.

It would eat my undies so bad I would be free balling (is that even a saying).

argh....man disappointed in it.

Imagine how many new threads we would have about "what mods should I do to my car"

Haha. Millions!

no , I understand that but when someone goes to the trouble of writing a longish reply instead of answering, that is if they know the answer , it is fn stupid

you guys, haha, BUT I can get 500kw out of it if I want , just turn it up , so no balling, and it is a word. Maybe a different word for my generation as it means crying, for you , balling could be a totally unsavoury act , not sure ?

But I was not balling up to 15 minutes ago, just driving and having fun in a really well built car that goes like the clappers :cheers:

I bet - I was just trolling you.

Put some vids up with really good sound so we can listen to the music :)

Me too, it is just for fun

Apart from a couple of vids I have seen , most of them are boring, same old same old, and I am sure I would have nothing new to offer :yucky:

I'm glad you were able to have success with Jez pete. Is he not the friendliest tuner you have ever met? And his customer support is second to none.

Are you looking at getting the steering sorted back in foster? I can recommend Road2Race on the central Coast, they will sort you out no worries :)

Yes he is a nice bloke, needs to slow down a bit and smell the roses :mellow2:

Thanks for the info but I really need to start to find someone closer for smaller jobs, had enough travelling to have jobs done on the car .

To bring up an old thread, I think I will ask to do the 501KW, just for the F of it, shit I struggle holding on at 475

I do not need these big numbers and once the water leak is sorted I am going to ask to take it lower on top end HP and push for , YES, you guessed, RESPONSE!

Might play with the cams while it is in the shop , turbo ? BW8374 maybe and see the difference in response, if it is only marginal I will stay with the PT6266

Waiting to see how Paul goes with the 8374, I think with the head he had built it will be MAD!

I am also keen to see what the Nm will be, was 935Nm ish, not sure what happens when dialing the cams in for mainly response , it was dialed for 50/50 ?

Wish I was 5 years younger , missed the 0, 50 , lol

Best thing is , I reckon my car will be going again by the end of the month, what year ??

Yes, pissed, hic hic :cheers:

Pete, when its run in give it an almighty thrashing doesn't matter how it is setup. Drive the fk out of it.

Will do, lol

What I tried to say in the drunken drivel above was, I want to see the difference when retarded for high rpm HP as to advanced for low end torque and get back to back graphs, should be interesting , same car, same day.

Pictures tell a thousands words, no words are needed after you drive the fk out of it.

As long as you look like this when you get out of the car,

Whatever power your thinking of you'll have to half that as your missing the 2nd turbo and we all know that RBs need 2 Turbo's ;p

haha, same old story, single or twins , trouble is I do not know how the twins would go, I have seen some results on the web and they do look pretty impressive.

A lot of blokes seem to go to a single and love them, did see one bloke go back to twins. I have a single on a 3.2l , not a 2.6l and it goes pretty good, (320kw at 4000rpm) , well the last time I drove it, lol

I do not need more power, I just want to see the graph difference in tunes from dialling the cams for HP and Torque ?

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
