Damn. been reading through the thread and i cant believe some of the rwhp readings... i just got my new r32gtst dyno'd with some basic mods and i was happy with 258.8 rwhp .. i still get wheelspin in 4th gear when the boost kicks in, how do u guys with such high hp control it to run such good times????

I'll get a pic tomorrow if you want,but yer it's right next to the weld on where all the pipes merge.It is stainless,one of those china ones and I paid $550 for it new.

lol, that'll learn you.

i had some random guy from china get my MSN from here on SAU and tried flogging me China copies etc.

*sigh*

LOL...you have an issues then:) At first it was fun, but soon becomes frustrating when you are acytually trying to do the 0-400m quickly or get out of tight 2nd gear corners

I just took of completely bald rear tyres, they were 235/40/17s, ok they were semi slicks, but they were so bald nad hard that even the crappy Falken 326 i now run have way more traction. and with 320rwhp i could get 2nds and light it up a little, but onto boost in 3rd and 4th it still tracked straight.

With tonka hard 215/50/16s my car wheelspun coming on boost in 3rd...and those tyres had been sitting in someones back yard for years...so were truly crap, but hey i waas going drifting so just what the Dr ordered:)

So full circle got Flaken 326 which are apparantly a crappy tyre...and it just hints at spinning when onto boost in 2nd, very mild and verty controllable. Will see how the tyre goes when it starts to wear. With new D01Js on the car it strugled to get 2nds and wouldnt spin when coming onto boost in 2nd gear...and i run th eoff the shelf Whiteline works suspension with a singlw plate ceramin Xtreme clutch.

So have a look at wheel alignment, and tyres, a better sorted wheel alignment, shocks/springs and tyres can easily handle 350rwhp

Nick: Your not leaning out and blown the bridges from your spark plugs....?

No, I've had the plugs out three times... always black (fouled). Rear of the car is covered in fuel as well. Have tried a few different types of plugs, different coils... Need to have a workshop take a look at the coil loom I think.

Tune is very conservative to look after the old motor, has plenty more in it but dont want to push it untill there is a replacement ready to go.

Jase, I sold mine for a bit more than that :rofl: Be very interested to see what it makes with the std back on!

Where is the crack?

When i took the car to the track i was getting wheel spin in 1st, 2nd , and 3rd on boost at 1bar, but i think that has a lot to do with the Pirelli snow tyres that were on the car from Japan :Pimp2:

Outof curiosity for some of you guys running big figures what tyres are you using and find that works the best???

You don't have too much power, you have too little handling. And as Roy posted there is far more to it than tyres. Pop over to the Suspension thread for more details:cheers:

Ok, time for another update:)

Just finished a Super Sprint at Sandown Raceway, having those nice long straights with relatively slow entries i bumped up the rev limit to 8, 200rpm and rang the things neck to make sure it pulled as much down the straights as possible. Had the shift light at 8,000rpm...car ran rock solid all day.:D

As my old bar needs replacing i cut it open to get more airflow thru the front of the car which saw the coolant temps took an extra lap or so to get to a point where i had to back off.

Ill find out in the morning what boost level i was running. I think i was running 18psi, but the fact that everyone was commenting my car was so loud, perhaps i was running only 15psi with a bit mroe air beign diverted thru the wastegate?!?!?!?!...

Either way it wasnt lacking for grunt down the straights, imagine my laughter when i was pulling away from a 575 Maranello:) lol, thought id be taking it easy in that beast as well considering what its worth:)

I bet Mr prancing horsey wasnt too keen on the old datto! :)  Nice one Roy!

Mate im sure he didnt care, he was in a Ferrari for gods sake, and im sure i was drivoing my thing 10 times harder then he was. Still to be 0.9 seconds quicker then him felt good, especially the old RB20 keeping it honest down the straights so that on the twistes with the semi slicks i could gap him a little:)

Fancy this being beaten by this :)

LOL...then you have to consider the 240Z with RB26 that was 4 seconds quicker then me:(

...8200 rev-limit yeh har!What's the water temp getting to on the track?and what is it when you do normal street driving.

On the street it is normally between 78 and 80. At the track it normally gets up to around 95 after 3 laps. If i keep the rev limit to around 6,200rpm ish then the watre doesnt really go above 90, and i cold drive for 10 laps. But the extra 2,000rpm really knocks out some extra temperature.

One day i might get a radiator, but its easier to drive around with the heater on high and full bore, and back off after 3 laps. it only takesa lap cruising in 5th for temps to drop back to a pint where you can get up it again:)

um.... crappy spec cheap spark plugs @ .66mm gap

boost controller is just a bleed valve. i have had 2 different ones on there and they both hold perfect boost. i try and keep my vaccum lines as short as possible to stop spiking.

i made 298.7 @ 16.5 psi on sat... dyno dynamics

car had been on dyno for about 2 hours tuning so intercooler was getting a bit heat soaked and piping was fairly hot. would have cracked over 300 easy when not so hot

full boost at about 4100-4200 ish and holds dead steady all way to 7500

car drives heaps better now, lots more responsive and a little more top end, fuel is about 11.3-11.7 afrs and Power FC knock count doesnt go above 35 so is very safe.

will post power graph on friday as i dont have a scanner here. will get tuned again in a little while at 18psi and will hopefully get between 320-330rwhp

Thtas a good result. Is that with the Apexi AX53B70 turbo? What exhaust goiusing size, P22? If you can let me know what wheel/tyres you are running? At 221rwkws at 16.5psi it looks like we may have stumbled onto another nice RB20 turbo setup as its low mount, bolts onto the std manifold etc etc. Give it a hit at 18psi and 22psi, go on you know you want to:)

Im waiting to try and get an EBC on my thing again, as with just the bleeder it runs a pretty stable 17/18psi, but you cna hear the gate open before im at full boost so maybe can get a bit more response ou tof the turbo...perhaps your setup is the same? But serisouly that looks to be a great setup:thumbsup:

    • 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.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
