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.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
