Stay tuned for Death of an XF Falcon Ute :blink:

Mate is buying the pedal box from my paddock basher ute so the car is going to get one last working over before being sold for scrap. Put up some ideas and i'll try and film it :).

This car is finally going to die after being crashed twice (once by me, once by previous owner, both into tree stumps) had the window smashed in in a bout of rage and was run on no coolant while still being thrashed (made some pretty smells and colourful smoke)

Thats a very decent power figure mate...

If you dont mind me asking, what mods are done, who tuned it and have you got a pic of the dyno graph to post up?

thanks ;)

mods:

-rb25det w/rb25 ecu

-KKR430 turbo

-walbro fuel pump

-SARD fuel pressure regulator

-Apexi SAFC

-Greddy profec B spec2

-FMIC

-HKS mushroom pod

-3.5" HKS exhaust w/highflow cat

-cusco front strut brace

-Apexi lowered fairly stiff springs

-HRracing 18" wheels- 235(front), 256(rear)

i think theres more but my brain isnt working, thats the main stuf anyway.

Expect to see you on Friday then so everyone can have a squizz at the car :laugh: p.s what was the boost set at?

edit: theres normally at least a few cars out on friday nights. Not huge but ok.

i couldnt come out on friday night unfortunately, its only on 7am-7pm day permits until i can take it over dickson and atleast get a week permit so hopefully this coming friday ill be able to bring it out :)

boost was at 16psi

EDIT:

I read the graph wrong... Hehehe :P Thanks Shawn.

What are the air fuel ratio's? I hope its nor running to lean... And Im not sure why but you have a BIG mid range power hole there...

Here's a pic of my last run:

yeah im not sure about that dip either, im thinking about taking it to the next dyno day at autotech and getting petes opinion of how its running. im loving every second of driving it!

ha! Finally worked out my username has some reference to Skylines.

R33 GTR = BCNR33, add some vowels and you have BaCoNeR

Just popped into my head while i was driving today...

Man hit with bat during carjacking - October 29, 2007 07:03am

A MAN has been charged over a carjacking in Sydney's south-west in which the car's owner was hit with a baseball bat and lost several teeth.

Police said the 29-year-old male owner of a Honda Integra advertised for sale accompanied another man on a test drive of the car at Chipping Norton on September 6.

The 18-year-old driver allegedly stopped the car near a parked truck on Barry Road before another man approached the vehicle, opened the front passenger door and hit the owner repeatedly with a baseball bat.

The two men then allegedly dragged the owner out and drove away in his car.

An 18-year-old Fairfield West man was arrested yesterday and charged with aggravated robbery.

He was refused bail and is due to appear in Liverpool Local Court today.

yeah im not sure about that dip either, im thinking about taking it to the next dyno day at autotech and getting petes opinion of how its running. im loving every second of driving it!

Ah RB25 goodness aye? :rolleyes: I'd love to get the car dynoed at Autotech again, finally seem to have the car sorted, would like to see what it's capable of.

Just thought id say, i have officially owned my Skyline for 1 year :) (Old Thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t139140.html) (Oct 17 i bought it but wasnt registered till around this time last year)

Pretty good run i'd say, first car i owned for 9 months, second for...1 week and 1 year on the new skyline with 0 incidents/close calls/dings, crashing a car does wonders, i highly recommend it for all P-Platers :P

    • 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.
