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:

    • 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
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
