think about the power i would get from a 308 supercharged

17 psi on ideal dumping the clutch at 5000rpm's and see ya later that would pull like an animal and the roooarrrinnggg motor would be music to my ears

see ya later with a 5000rpm dump of the clutch??

u must b dreamin, u will b sitting in the 1 spot single wheel spinning after the shitty commowhore diff blows and sh*its itelf while the hyundia excel u were trying to race blows u away!!!

And then if u do eventually catch the excel what happens when u come to a corner, opps the boat anchor commowhore will understeer and u will get owned by the excel again!!! :shake:

a friend of mine runs a VK with over 500bhp and admittedly it does sound sweet in a mechanical-earth-coming-to-an-end sort of way and it does rev to 7200 but if you dumped this at 5000 I think the only sounds would be is something destroying itself somewhere in the driveline

then there are the two mates with walkies ... dump either over 3000 and you just sit there till the tyres go bang

if your 8 is built to take a free rev to 5000 comfortably it does need to go that high to smoke the tyres

yeah we're using sikaflex to hold it in place.... should be fine :D

GTR bar getts here this week hopefully as well as the sideskirts... maybe next week cant remember... hopefully the cooler fits behind the stock bar

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
