I'm up for a cruise, be nice if the rain would stay away!

I've installed my catch can, braided lines & anodised fittings, & finally transfered over to SA rego' with personal plates ;)

Transfer was fun NOT! but the only thing they knocked me back for was the MOMO! WTF!?!? I didn't argue though, it could've been a lot worse :) A quick swap back to the stockie & I was done ;) Then the c/can was then fitted :lol:

Joel,

Did you get a FMIC before & after dyno?

No I didn't Matt Unfortunately.

I know before on 12.5psi it made 152rwkw with a std intake & filter 3" full exhaust & fuel pressure bleed kit.

When I had the after dyno a quick check a boost up to 14psi she made only 153.8rwkw.

The fuel ratio was around 11:1 and I saw black smokes coming out the exhaust on occasions.

There was however a heap more in the mid range, boost seemed to come on a little slower also.

For some reason it was really flattening out up top. ?

BUT...

I got home wasn't really that happy honestly so I started to fiddle removed the origional cold air intake and plumbed a ~5" duct to the origional intake in the box, I also removed the AFM mesh.

I know the removal of the mesh & cold air intake made boost come on 300rpm earlier. I did the test on Flagstaff Hill in fifth gear from 2000rpm with a flat foot before & after in the same spot.

Drivability has improved heaps and up top is heaps better now.

For example 60kays in second with no throttle, i flatten it with the 225'50 F1's with 28psi in the tyres and it starts to spin the rears then it begins gripping after a second or two.

First gear is horrid like basically it will lite up with just a little more than 1/4 throttle.

I've only done it a couple of times but with a couple of v8 commo's i've clicked in to second a little to quick and it can spin for like 4 seconds in a straight line.

it is quite fun to drive now but I need to take it easy.

I will do a dyno run before I fit the VG30BB Turbo and boost that to 1 bar..

Oh yer..

I will have to meet up with Bugalugs again and see how he goes with the 255's.. ;)

Hello 190rwkw I hope...

Hrmmm that sounds like i've been thrashing the car..

I havn't but.... well ermmmm maybe a couple of times but only to see what she can do. :)

I can't wait for the up top performance of the VG30 terbs..

I can see what ppls mean how the std turbo's run out of puff.

Sounds good mate ;)

@ the 215+rwkw mark I removed my AFM screens & it didn't do a damn thing! I was way out of the AFM voltage range by that stage anyway.

You'll really start to see the benefit of the FMIC once the VG30 is fitted @ tuned.

It'd well worth getting your ECU re-tuned by Tilbrooks straight after the VG30 is installed (~$500 I think?) You'll really unlock the extra grunt then! Unfortunately Tim doesn't do stock ECU re-tuning so Tilbrook is your man.

With decent grip you'd give 'Bugs a good look @ your tail lights ;) With the VG30 & a re-tune you'd probably give me a good look too! Unless we do a 3rd gear rolling run :uh-huh: :)

I need some 265 FM901's, with the Falkens I get w/spin all through 2nd.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
