i heard the R31 only runs a 13, squats and goes all over the place

Haha, I can imagine, mine already has major squat related traction issues and its probably only making 170kw at the fly, if that... Bit of a design flaw that.

Have you got any internal mods on this engine?  

R you gonna go RB25/30 for your new engine?

Yeah it has the usual mods, forgies, cams, big injectors etc. I did have all the specs on my computer but it crashed and i lost it. It will make a lot more power yet with new computer and more timing will make 300rwkw easy.

Cool! hopefully I will break through that 300rwkw barrier soon, I was thinking of going for a bigger turbo also but I dont like lag so I think I will stick with the 3037 for awhile yet.

Where in Tas are you? How much boost are you running? I have had car dynoed twice had problems both times. 1st go 262.5rwkw @ 13.2psi then shagged the plugs. 2nd go 269.6rwkw @ 14.2psi and the standard computer started retarding the timing. I am making about 7rwkw for every 1psi.

I had standard head, standand cams, standard exhuast manifold with 3" exhaust, big injectors, FMIC, HaltechE11 and running bout 14psi and I got 269rwkw.

Now I am rebuilding engine so most of that stuff has been upgraded expect for turbo, haltech and injectors. So the only thing stoping me to make more that about 320rwkw is the turbo, but I dont think I will upgrade as I dont want big lag either.

Im in Launceston

I spoke to the owner of the white R34 GTT with graphics, a kit and stock rims down here in Hobart and he reckoned his car was running NOS and making close to 500bhp. Personally i call bullshit, but you never know. From what i saw it has a decent sized FMIC, full exhaust (3.5" or maybe 4" towards the back), boost controller and some gauges.

Reason why i call bullshit is coz he said he was running "Stage 1" NOS. When i asked him what HP shot he was running and to explain exactly what "Stage 1" NOS is he just repeated it was Stage 1. I also said what turbo, he said standard :bs!: .

The car came from NSW and was tuned at a reputable workshop, i cant remember which one exactly. He still has the workshops sticker on his rear windscreen.

Standard turbo id say it was :bs!: also

Yep im calling :bs!: aswell, although if its true he can do what ever mods he wants to my car to get that amount of power from stock internals and turbo

Yeah Tim a boost controller is NOS didnt you know that? :lol:

Thats why everyone loves the missile switches on the bleed valve setups so they can be LiKe Da FaSt AnD Da FuRiOuS N DeY cAn B KoOl LiKe PaUl WaLkErZ n BlOw DeIr FlOoR oN2 Da RoAd WhEn DeY hIt Da NoOoOoOzZzZzZ SwITcHoRz SiIiIiIkKKKK!!

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
