And you can't break traction in first gear, wtf? :wassup:

when i had 330rwkw i could :(

Denham, it was running 24 psi on 104 octane fuel.

There is a slight turbo issue with my car in that its slightly mis-matched and has a bit of surge down below, and much over 17-18psi it gets some detonation.

Not much i can do, but give it some good fuel and its a open slat. We didnt wind more boost in as i need some ignition.

thats next on the list if i want some more power on 104

Sunocorp 104 straight or % mixed in with 98??

If will start getting expensive if you have to run 104 for daily use :(

U have standard cams, head etc dont ya?

pure 104, had to be to get over the detonation problems on PULP due to the turbo

im not using it daily like that. lol. Im dropping back to under 300rwkw for normal driving. 330-360rwkw is useless.

We were seeing what we could do with the car for salon by have a play around with some things.

We found some more limitations on the hardware i have. We'll stuff more than 24psi into it once i get my ingition sorted (which is a long way away)

Race Pace Motorsport, the one and only place ill take my car from now on.

There is no-one decent around the west/north. I've been through many workshops who just have muppets working there who dont know enough to satisfy me taking my business there.

Race Pace is about a 45mins drive... to bayswater. But my car has been going there since mid last year.

Very thankful. Its worth the drive.

does anyone know what part number or serial number is stamped into a genuine gtr conrod? are all gtr rods created equal?

Sorry, my conrods went in 2 weeks ago - can't check for you. As far as I know, the R32 & R33 GTR conrods are the same size & strength. I can't give you a definite answer, as I was only told by a couple of engineers & 2 different sellers on the forums (can't remember their names), when I bought mine. I used R33 GTR conrods in my R33 GTS-T. Not sure about R34 GTR conrods.

Someone should soon post a 100% yes or no answer for you, I'm sure.

Cheers

Chris

can anyone recommend any good engine rebuilding workshops in or around epping victoria??? r31 nismoid youre from around this area, any ideas?

P.E.T Modifications are in thomastown and have built plenty of tough and big hp Nissan engines (VLs, Skylines, GTRs, etc).

Give dennis a call on 9464 4225 and tell him Gorjan (RS500) referred you.

they should be all the same from memory.

Put em next to an RB25DET rod and you can instantly see the difference.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
