Nearly 2 years ago Nathan was introduced to the fun of turbo cars, while not knowing they existed in the past year he traded in his Holden Ute for a silver R33 Skyline, it was fairly stock but he was lucky to pick it up with a HKS BOV, 3" cat back exhaust system, Gewalt evolution 3 Piece racing rims, GTR body kit and blitz sus pod filter.

First replacing the font & rear bar with a veilside products.

Going to macca's one night on Thursday and meet a guy called *stick* - owner of (Prospool Technologies) who introduced him to the world of modifying his skybeast. Starting off with a turbosmart boost controller boost was set to 10psi, only getting addicted to boost more, he then proceeded to Townsville drag strip which is 4hr's away from were we live (Cairns) Running a 14.1 @ 103mph as his best time of the night and first time down the strip he soon found out his clutch need replacing.

After the slow drive back to cairns modifications proceeded to installing a front mount intercooler, 3"dump pipe, Extreme 5 puck clutch and boost raised to 13psi.

Not long after that it was taken to the dyno and it made 184rwkw's

Back in cairns Nat set out to install a avc-r which was also the last night of his R33 Engine. While doing some testing at 12psi, the car was on full boost at 2,000 all the way to 7,000 after getting heat soaked, piston number 6 had

melted and all the ring lands went as well. Pulling up to the lights to only see a mountain of white smoke float past the windows, and hear the car blurping and, making the sounds of a dropped cylinder. It was soon to know that he need a rebuild.

Ordering parts from Stick and from Japan. The long wait paid off with the car finally running.

The car runs great and we havent had any problems. We are still running the engine in so we carnt get it tuned yet. But once the run in is complete we are expecting around 400+ hp at the wheels.

This thread is not a advertisment its for general interest as BBQ stated.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 simple steps on how not to blow up your "stock" RB25DET engine !

Step 1: Buy bigger fuel pump

Step 2: Have a front mount intercooler before boosting your car above standard boost pressure

Step 3: Keep boost to a minimum (9 - 12psi)

Step 4: Don't Flog your car for long periods of time on high boost & hot days.

Step 5: If you wish to further modify your car, purchase a tunable ecu, or do your engine internals.

Happy Modding :D

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
