Finally I thought i might update you all on the progress of the car.......

Zac @ Cypher tuned it for me...... a couple of hours later we got about 310 rwhp on the formaz dyno which is apparently one of the lower reading dynos.... It would have been more but the car kept smoking the tires on the dyno after 6000rpm!!! But the general concensus with my setup is that the GT35R turbo is just too big for the skyline donk. Boost doesnt hit hard until about 5800rpm. But for a bit of fun i went to the drags on Wed night to see how it would go... best of the night was my last 12.65@192km/h. Conditions were terrible (77% hum, 20deg air temp and 30deg track temp) but it got better as the night came to a close. So the next step is to remove the 1.0ar exhaust housing and put an .82ar housing with an external gate. This will bring the 'power band' in a few thousand rpm sooner and then we can squeeze some more power out of it....... but as for now, major exaust manifold leak and yellow sticker, so plenty of work to do :D

AHAHAHA small world,

you talk about Mick Briffa... I am sure it was you who i was speaking to when my plugs fouled that time out the front of his shop in morley there.... i own the burgandy SLY 33

he had just done the engine polishing....

Mick is a good old school friend of mine and has done a lot of work to mine as far as polishing and metal fab. he also wanted to do my plenum by i hadn't seen any other examples..

one quick question is does it flow ok? are the air flows to each one ok? i was worried about it before he did it coz i have heard of lots of troubles with any custom plenum air flow.....

hey michael

just wanted to say youve done a great job with the build!

do you have any clearance issues with the drop tank??....i managed to have a good look at it all the way into the city on the kwinana freeway last week when you kept flying past me :) and it looked mighty low

what was the sticker for?

Yeah.... that was me alright. I remember the emotions getting a bit high when the car wouldnt run properly! Mick and I sat down one sat night over a bottle of something(???) and pondered how to make a plenumn. I wanted a complete one not a throttle body relocation as other ppl have got him to do. So the best we could do was copy the greddy one. It works really well but obviously there are other things to consider now that one has been made. I think it is a bit small plus the runners are a bit short which makes the car suffer down low. But other than that its all sweet..... I dont think he will be making another one in a hurry tho....... i broke his balls for 3 weeks on that one :)

As for slippery.... have i had clearance issues with the drop tank? yes... major problems. I have cleaned it up good and propper several times. I actually split it. But just to clarify..... its only a cover that sits inder the spare tyre well.... but im sure all you real skyline heads know that the fuel tank is under the backseat :) But i am getting it shortened by about 2 inches to make it more driveable. I managed to scrape it on flat road once ahahahahahahahahaha, stoopid thing!

As for the licky, well lets just say its mighty low. When i got to the pit, they didnt like my tint, my 10inch rear rims, the blow off valve location, seats, and the chip in my windscreen.... so im sort of stuck atm, got till the end of march and no time now back at work....

BTW does anybody here have a set of springs to pass the pit?????

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
