The Thing is that mid week after the meet (5/7) is when my car is going in to get a few more mods done.. :P

I'm getting the boost bleed taken from the plenium chamber (stop boost drop hopefully)

Fuel Tuned & Bigger Fuel Pump & Turbo..

I'll replace the intake hose between the turbo and the afm to a nice smooth one next week some time, and sort out something with the airbox and a new cold air intake for the new airbox.

I'm going to see if I can fit something from a VS V8 as they don't use a bell mouth, they are shaped a little different btw.

I am also going to look at getting the dump/front pipe hpc coated. D&T Exhaust can do it..

Its all about the Intake for the next couple of weeks. Try to pick up all of the response I can.

Hey Joey, I think i bumped into you in town before. standard looking r32 which basically kicked my ass. hehe :uh-huh:

Just wondering if you've seen me on the road?? Black r32 gts-t with an sdu sticker (which will soon be taken out by the way).

Drift...I'll be free next week actually if you wanna meet up and we can go for a short cruise or something?? Andy are you free??

Umm all that was mod was the suspension.

Adjustable Damper and height Endless Zeal coilovers, about 3.5k worth according to there website, so happy with that.... can hold about 140km/hr down main south on windey bits with them so all good

everything else stock , which is good in my eyes , less chance of it having been thrashed.

I rekon I have lost power tho , seems like it doesnt have the kick it had at first , i think maybe clutch might sorta be slipping, think its stock.

I may be imagining it , prob just getting used to the power of the car now.

When I first got mine it has stock tyres on it 205's.

And it used to chirp them through first then all of a sudden it felt like it had lost power and stopped chirping them.

It was the clutch ever so slightly slipping, then it got worse and worse over a period of around 2 months until it was finally buggered.

Might be the clutch might not.... :P

Mine was..

U prob right Aaron hehe,

Hmm but dunno got a feeling it may be clutch as mine doesn't churp as easily now as it used to, think may have to drive more cafeful for a while , dont feel like blowing the clutch just yet haha.

how much is a new single plate for a GTSt? , one that will last any beating?

ahh i know is it cant handle real high rev starts , slips like hell , its ok on like 3k starts but anything over and its no go.

Yep sounds like your clutch that is exactly what mine did.

I had a Heavy duty organic clutch fitted for $850.

I think you can buy them for around $600 then fit them you self.

That is what i noticed first that it didn't chirp.

Not that I really want to chirp the gears with a rb20det box..

damn isn't it crap weather today!, nothing to do but stay indoors and watch tv and surf the net... ahh well good excuse to do so ;).

Thats not a bad price, looks like exactly what i will be after when its due, only want to stay single plate as twin plate would suck so much in traffic.

Did u get this done at RPM? , more than likely ill get it done at VMS as I know them well tho.

So is the RB20DET box not strong?, hope RB25DET box is stronger :D , dont feel like having to get the gearbox rebuilt.

All up tho I hardly ever drive that car hard.

Actually on the note, I did the fuel test, I can only get about 300km to a tank of Ultimate 98, and that is mostly driving off boost with the occasional boost when seeing a Commodore at the lights :P

Most of this driving was done in the city with a few trips up the freeway.

Is this what you guys get?, I was def hoping for better fuel econ!.

The car does seem to backfire on gear changes now and then, so I think its def running a bit rich, think I may have to take it to RPM to get a tune done.... I reset the ECU and didnt seem to help.

wow 300kays to a tank of juice..

The worst I have ever got is 420 when it just had the red light starting to go on and off.

Usually I get around 470 and with the fmic last tank i got 500kays.

btw this tank i will get a little less because i've started to like the feeling of second coming on to boost and start to slightly wheel spin up in a straight line. :P

When I first got my car like within the day I replaced a fuel filter, slapped a bottle of injector cleaner in and was getting around 420kays to a tank of juice.

Then Tim fitted the fuel pressure bleed kit tuned it up made another 10rwkw and i began getting pretty much exactly 470kays per tank with all of it around the suburbs.

I think the R33's are heaps worse for running rich.

Do your spark plugs, air filter, oil, oil filter, injector cleaner with 1/2 a tank of juice, fuel filter and then a couple of tanks down the track slap another bottle of injector cleaner in just to make sure it is going to get every little bit of crap off.

Also when you do your oil change -- well I slapped in a bottle of that nulon engine oil flush and then changed oils ever 2000km's after that twice then i went back to the normal 5000km's service.

Do your gearbox oil change slap a tube of nulon g70 to help save your syncro's a little and then do the diff oil.

Remember you don't really know what conditions or how the car has been driven so its better to be safe than sorry.

Also ... Do your coolant and most importantly do a full brake fluid flush.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
