im going to my bank tomorrow, if they tell me what i want to hear , ill buy this site unseen as long as engine passes a comp test.

my 31 has been given an offer i cant pass up, and ive been wanting a ceffy , ill let you know how it goes

geesus... ur in perth :cheers: and here i was thinking i was going to have to wrap it up and send it to a regional part of africa :)

ok well should be able to go for a comp test on monday morning... so far 3 people have offered the 17k but no one has bid on it or put a deposit down.. so first in first served.

if the comp test or mechanics check shows something u dont like i will gladly return the deposit.

min deposit will be $500.

ok... update is that the comp test should be done by the middle of the week.

so i will put the results up then.

ok mounts are all fixed and better than the nissan originals

thanks to nice welding and fabrication job on my brother in laws part...

will be taking the car to a mechanic tomorrow afternoon to get a comp test done... will have the results then.

oh and found out today when the car was on the hoist that 1 of the wheels were buckled.... so im going to replace all 4 with a set of 17s with good rubber.

well now its not in need of new tyres.... no where near as much.

Id say 2k for the usual stuff for compliance... maybe another 1500 for rego... so to be on the safe side id say budget for 4k... but thats being very generous... probably wont come close to that.

ok its confirmed that the comp test will be monday arvo.

will post up the results (which i know will be fine after the nice test drive i gave it today for an hour) will be good.

so if u want it... express ur interest now as there are still a number of people on this and other forums that keep saying they want it pending the test... but if u havent secured it once the results are in its going to the highest offer.

more pics in my gallery... looks much better than the others... specially now its had a clean :D

people keep asking why i call it a drift pig apart from the obvious that it was drifted by Ken Satoh is that the interior isnt exactly in show condition ;)

took some good vids of it today but have to find the cables so i can dump it onto the HDD... u hear it coming 30seconds before it even comes into picture :( had some in car footage... but it wasnt exactly very steady with such a hard ride ;)

starting to not want to sell it now the more i drive it...

as usual when selling my cars something small but a pain in the arse tends to break... starter motor went on it today... its been shakey for some time now but i always thought it was the recharged battery playing up.

went and purchased another one today and will have it put on tomorrow... so wont be able to get the comp test done until tomorrow when its done...

also found out the CAT has been gutted and its shooting flames everytime it "pops" :)

ok... just dropped the car off at the mechanics so should have the results of the comp test by this afternoon.

yeah should shit it in with those 17s on it...

someone on NS said they want to put a deposit down on it tonight regardless of the comp test results... so... everyone else may have just waited a bit too long... then again it may not go thru... who knows.

nope... he cant make it til tomorrow... so... theres a days grace if someone wants to quickly step in :D

Diagnosis is in!!

"u cant get any closer than that" - the mechanic i took it too

125 across the board... perfect condition.

and what do u expect from a car owned and kept by Ken Satoh?

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
