What's Going On With Everyones Cars?

What you need a cage for???

Well got my 75K so time to spend some money.

New engine will consist off....

RB25 block, decked and new sleeves put in to accept 93mm pistons. Offset and ground crank, nitrided, blah blah blah, you know the usual.

This should bring the swept volume to 2.9 litters and a 100500 rpm redline.

New sump, and N1 oil pump with modified squirters and return.

Stage 2 pon cams, possible solid lifters not sure. Tomei springs and valves.

800cc injectors, top feed with twin entry custom rail, 3 bosh 040 pumps and surge tank.

I have no idea in regards to engine management, tossing up weather to go Wolf V5 or something similar.

OS Giken clutch twin plate, 2 way lsd, new breaks and suspension, no idea what yet.

Not sure if the set-up will be a big single or 2 smaller huffers. I want response and power.

BUT that is still some 2 years away. At the moment I am acquiring spear engines, to test the crank and new liners, and seeing as I will do all the work myself, should save a fair bit of money.

Keep an eye out.

I want a 100500rpm redline as well :unsure:

Got my front springs (Aurora 7kg 40mm lowered) and rear coilovers (JIC, 6kg) in now. About to change my front tyres for some RE540S I scored from Deane. Cusco cambertops are waiting to go in but I think the spacers they come with require modifying, and my JIC carbon fibre front strut brace is still to arrive.

Fingers crossed I'll have Ben's R34 GT-T intercooler and an SAFC soon.

Have GTS-R wing, new front bar + vents in my study still, bodywork is f#cking expensive!

Really need to get the sills painted white when the other bodywork gets done, the black sills make it look so much higher than it is. Cusco tops will drop the front a little further all going to plan...

Hey guys,

So anyone seen my old ride kickin around, Someone told me that some young guy bought it. I am allready board of the Evo 9 its just doesnt have as much punch as the old line but the evo kills the skyline in every other aspect by far. So in about a month let the upgrades begin im gonna aim for around 250-270awkw.

Hope it all goes well for you next year Leigh.

Cheers

Alan

Hey Alan, Hows Qld? and come on, post up a pic of the little beast.

Glad you are happy with the evo, we never seem to be happy with the power :O our cars make. I am looking foward to the tassie series next year, should be good. Got no expectations, just want to get out there, and enjoy the car and have some fun.

cheers

Leigh

Wouldnt 044 pumps be better as the flow more???? I have 2 of these in my 33 and a gtr pump filling the surge tank and they work a treat just a bit noisey. Good luck with the build.

yeah going to look at bennos when he gets back, and the one from eurotech. I will need a running one to test and one to play with, if all goes well, i will sell the kit to stroke and RB25. If i use stock pistons and stroked strock crank i will get just over 2.6 liters.

had a look out our budget, and so far so good. I need my mate to get back from site, he is supervising one of my poject on site, so he can do the crank resizing for me.

Cool, well its a win-win either way i guess if you get either of them!!!

I wouldn't really worry about going any larger with displacment cobber after all it is only a road car that is driven daily :)

The 33 is going ok. Took it to bridport yesterday for a blast. Its going really well but i have to get an exhaust for it as its very loud on the highway. It only has the 3inch dump pipes into 4inch collector :).

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
