Also keen to hear, I have a prp one being fitted to my stock block 

Excellent! im looking at a PRP also. i imagine you are chasing north of 500kw atw? aftermarket front diff or stock?

First question: who has cracked a RB block?  And how/when/where?

i do. how? dont know. just happend? it has cracked on the outside of the block, on the hot side, between cylinders 2 and 3, right above the oil feed. after some googling, it seems to be a popular spot. Next question is. have you cracked one? what have done to remedy it?

So this is a GTR thing then?  If so, count me out.

Is there drag racing type launches involved?

good stuff. i actually didnt anticipate id make 800hp. long story but it sort of just happend. wish i went block brace from the start.

at the time i just saw it as cheap insurance for stock block which came back as mint after initial test, hadnt decided what turbo/power i was going for

alternative would have been to shell out 5k+ on N1 block if stock one was buggered

yeah i understand. i was suppose to just do a freshen up, at the time i wasnt even considering going single, only thing led to another, 35psi later......

Do not have one personally, but all the high power GTR's i know of all use the PRP items. And PRP is very well intertwined with the majority of the big GTR workshops, in sydney at least so that speaks a lot.

I've got one, on a stock block 2.8 stroker, hard to say how its going to hold up as the engine only has 2-3k kms on it. 

500kw run in tune 25psi with a 9180. See what she does at 35-40 psi in a few months.

similar setup to what I'm going for except with 8374, I assume Jez is tuning

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
