^ yep!

then buy proper tyres, a proper LSD, proper suspension arms to fix up the crappy Nissan rear geometry.. If you can't even put 200kW down to the ground, don't bother with power upgrades.

But if you're single pegging everywhere, who cares brah! 300kW uleh.

The later model 34 GTTs have a Helical Diff yea? Is it worth the upgrade providing this is in a healthy condition? 
I do plan to take her to the track, I'm assuming a true 1.5 way would be better... 

Edited by macca911

For street, a helical is pretty much the nicest diff.

For track, a proper mechanical diff is better.  Especially if you have really high roll stiffness - where you may lift the inside rear wheel off the ground - or if you tend to hit kerbs hard enough to do the same.  Getting a wheel up instantly converts a helical into an open diff.

Also S2 R34 helical diffs are like hen's teeth and if you find one I would prefer you let me buy it.  Or at least the 5 bolt stub axles from it!

lets say. I can get you 3582's power with better then 3076's response. and much cheaper in price.

Hypergear, I'm listening... Would this be something like the Atr45sat?
Internal or external gate? 

Cheers,  

Thats the latest ATR45SAT RV2 model in ceramic ball bearing center. Is maxed at 330rwkws on 22psi p98 fuel internally gated Bolton, 20psi by 3650rpm, unopened neo motor.  Run that externally gated e85 it will be making around 400rwkws region. Check my fb or dyno sheet section for result.

Gents,

It's been some time since my last post. 
The car has been finished and it made a super responsive 625rwhp and 680nm (e85)

I went with the following setup: 

  • JHH Built RB25 Neo 
  • EFR BW 7670 1.05 TS
  • 6boost Manifold with twin gates.
  • 2000cc Bosch Injectors
  • Haltech Platinum Pro
  • Hypertune Plenum + TB 
  • PWR Intercooler and Oil Cooler

I can't recommend GT Auto Garage at Slacks Creek enough.
Their attention to detail in both fabrication and tuning is fantastic!  

Still running the stock gearbox...

 

Cheers,

It turns out every car I drove after mine felt like an absolute dog.

The EFR smashes the GTX3071 in every aspect.

I have unrealistic expectations for response it would appear relative to 100% of RB's ever built. I would assume that a 2.5 with a 7670 would be laggy, or at least laggier than mine. Still going to be better than anything else bolted to a 2.5.

The result does backup my thinking on the matter, that the 7670 is actually a pretty big turbo and is more a 450kw turbo than a 350kw turbo that people seem to consider it to be. Would be curious to see if there is speed sensor data as 466rwkw is really up there.

Very nice!  Can you please share the dyno plot?  The peak power is solid, but not the most interesting part of that setup :)

Kinkstaah Unfortunately I don't have a speed sensor installed. It's coming... 
I have to agree, it must be pushing the limits!! 

KiwiRS4TIt wasn't intentional... I've now got concerns for the gearbox etc... Matter of time haha.  

E85 run attached. I believe the dip at 5400 would be VVT... Please correct me if I'm wrong. 
Unfortunately, I'm in the US and only have the 625hp/640nm run photo on me. You'll get the idea though.
The final power run video is on the GT Auto FB page. 

As always, bugs to iron out and more mods to do.
At this stage, I've planned as far as brakes and an accusump setup in the coming weeks...

I would log your RPM vs. time, I wonder if the VCT turning off is causing some form of timing belt slap/vibration thus causing the CAS to spaz out.

That would explain the harsh dip

The dyno run attached does look quite a bit like it could be VVT turning off too early, I'm assuming that's sorted now?   

Saw a post on NZ Wiring's workshop page of a very similar setup/workshop which upgraded to an NZ Wiring CAS setup on an RB25 Neo recently, wasn't you by any chance?  Very solid delivery for an RB25 making that kind of power, though.  Should be a fun drive :)

Nah, not me. I'll take a look though! 
Not sorted yet... Mainly due to work commitments. I'll aim to spend some time on it starting next week.

big power, noisy valvetrain and Nissan's high resolution optical sensor (CAS) never works out well haha

VCT "shouldn't" be giving you a massive dip, I dare say (without any data) that there may be triggering issues

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
