Benny from Chasers is apparently running a similiar twin 3240 setup on the new GTR. I have not seen it in person just going by what someone told me recently.
I suspect a nice amount of bullshit in this thread :D  

Show us some pics of this powerhouse engine setup steve.

these two post's go hand in hand :D....if bullshit was music...those (unts would own a brass band :D

Dude the specs are so mismatched it's hard to beleive that it's a real combination. If a workshop or machine shop was putting it together they would have said something, if it was assembled at home the person doing it would know something about the combination and it would not be as stated.

Then you have the pictures, which do not line up with the stated specs. So either the pics are false, or the original post is false. Either way there's some porkies going on and again it leads to the 1st post having no clue.

I give the thread 9/10 stars, Troy's jokes lifted it up from a measly 4 for entertainment.

Remeber I said 'apparently'.

Horus can clear this us.

the car is being built, last time I saw it it was on the hoist with the turbos and a few other bits pulled off, they were initially saying that it was going to be ready for the first autosalon, however with the huge amount of work they have been getting related to the drifts it was put on the backburner

ever noticed how many times Ive mentioned this vs how many times this keeps getting brought up? get over it, me, nor the workshop, nor the nutter paying for this car really give a flying f**k whats said about it on the internet, so you guys shouldnt either, when the car is debuted start talking then....frankly if you are all so concerned about autosalon and the like, concentrate more on what you are doing for it, and try not to enter cars with panel damage, it is a car show after all :uhh:

Well I guess we just wait and see with this one. I'm not in a position to add detail or confirm or deny the setup as I haven't seen it, and steve is off to japan for a bit so there will be no more bites there, but I am hoping to see it soon.

He's a pretty good guy as well. How many people would borrow your trailer and bring it back fully resprayed? Matt, if you are so desperate for the dyno print I'll ask if he has it.

Also, yes, Steve has a long standing association with Issy at SelectMaz, doing a lot of their rotor porting work for them as well as spending time on the workshop floor. Issy also now owns SelectMaz outright and intends to move more into the Skyline and import market (apparently even bought a GTR32), so if MoTeC is on your shopping list I would recommend giving them a call.

Anyway, Steve has some expectations from this motor so good luck to him.

LOL ur still pissed off he didnt send u your dyno print out from the selectamaz dyno day aint ya?? :P
LOL actually I called Issy myself ages ago and he printed another dyno graph and posted it out to me :upurs: Steve shouldn't have taken everyone's print outs to send out when he didnt have everyone's details, then take over a month to send them out!

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
