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:

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
