I'm still wondering if Xtreme GT-R is using a RB25 NEO head OR just adapted a NEO VCT to a RB26 head.

Custom VCT to RB26 head 👍

Nothing to specifically update here, but just putting k's on car and it's been flawless. The turbo elbow hose failure has been about the only recent issue with the car. I'm still running a silicone replacement until I can be bothered to pull the turbo compressor off and weld a proper cast alloy elbow on for a permanent fix.

Apart from that - no complaints. Still love the 2.8 / 6466 combo, the PAR box has so far proven to be very good and couldn't be happier with the entire engine management side using the current fuel system and Ross crank trigger setup all controlled from the Elitec 2500. The Ross trigger with the GT101 hall effect sensors I absolutely rate 10/10, unlike the heap of shit NZ wiring cam trigger on the white 32. I will elaborate on that later, but they are no replacement for a real crank trigger setup.

Found a few pics from when I was moving away from the Bosch 044s to the AEM setup with upgraded 10mm2 wiring, 2 x 400lph staged externals, dual speedflow check valves and 340lph lift pump all throungh AN8 200 series lines, basically binning the existing mismatched and poorly installed Willall racing setup. I really expected better from them as their setup caused me nothing but dramas. Note the new pump power supply 10mm2 wiring in comparison to 2.5mm2 existing - big difference.

Next thing on the agenda was to fit the Turbosmart OPR T40 turbo oil reg. I've been putting it off because of the fittings and stuff I had to figure out that was required for install, and I'm glad I hadn't fitted it yet. OPR T40 won't be going on, ordered 2 of these below today and will be removing the T40 from the white 32 too.

Modernisation of pumps, less heat, less noise.

Yeah I'm going to rip off my v1 OPR valve too at some stage and replacing it with the V2 OPR to reduce the hose clutter!

I actually think the old T40 on the white 32 is increasing crank case pressure increasing breathing too.

Think about it - any oil pressure in excess of 40psi is being fed back into your sump pressurising it. Normally you only have your low pressure turbo oil return and block oil passages gravity feeding back to the sump. With the T40 you are adding potentially 60psi+ with a Nitto pump back into the sump - this can never be a good idea adding to crank case pressure.

Quite possibly, I agree with your theory on that one!

I probably don't see these issues with the other band aids on top (sump/head breather/drain, sump to catch can breather/drain).

White 32 has the head breather / sump vent and decent catch can setup but still retains the stock rocker cover baffles. I've always thought it breathes more since the T40 install, so will be interesting to compare. Definitely breathes more than the blue 32, which has all that mentioned above but additionally has the Mines rocker cover baffles and 2nd pre catch can acting as an oil / air separator but also doesnt have the T40.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
