omg that is a horn car man

ive read teh whole build from the beginning and kept up with the updates and this is one horn car

good to see a relativly uncommon type of car as a drift pig - not a 180, silvia, or a ae86 - but a good old wholesome skyline

ive seen ur old car in hot4's drift sections (at least i think it is anyway) now i look forward to seeing the new one in it

well done

Thanks guys... Yeah it is great to have it all but finished!!! And I do still have a wife!!! :):):):D

Ashley, I don't suppose you remember which issues do you?

And Guys... look out for my top level spin this sunday on Speedweek, SBS around 12 noon.

Cheers and Beers Kids,

Dan.

right

Hot4's issue 134 page 128

its a r33 with number plates "SAC 526"

and ive just realised that that one is not it woops :D

i thought that there was one were i thought i saw it in but i cant remeber which one

oh well - hope too see this version in there sometime :)

Did I mention the numbers we got on a VERY conservative tune?

Well I'll tell you again just in case I didn't.

Running 1 bar of boost we recieved 697rwnm of torque from 2200rpm through to 4900rpm and 197rwkw from 2900rpm through to 5400rpm. We are spooling boost from idle though... so perhaps the turbo is a little too small... lol! ( I don't remember the air fuel ratio's, I know it was rich though, might have been around 12.5 to 1???? Was only 150kms to a tank street driving though... we were filling the thing with 20 litres every 4 to 6 laps at Mallala!!!)

This week we are going to lean it out a little, closer to 10.9/11 to 1 air/fuel, and up the boost to 1.3 bar... lets see just how far this turbo will go... we are also thinking with that much torque that we might retard the timing a little for a bit more tyre frying top end.

Either way we have a bigger turbo, manifold and external wastegate set up organised for when we max this one out...

Will let you know the results guys.

Dan.

sounds good dan! that is some serious torque. you got the AFR thing backwards though. 12.5:1 is leaner that 11:1 (air/fuel ratio so higher first number means leaner). 12:1 is probably a fairly safe, but still power producing number, but your tuner will no doubt have his own idea on what is a good target with your set-up and usage in mind.

It's going to rock the house mate.

Hey Guys... Well the build is I guess done... but I am thinking I might continue this thread while I develop the car also...

We had HUGE weekend... even if I did only do 15 laps all weekend... As Neil said, I qualified 8th, which was fantastic, and even though I was giving Denzo a hard time, I Spun and finished 18th... either way I am happy that I made it down, qualified, competed and brought back a working car!

Thanks for all the well wishes and support... I had a massive last month getting the car ready.

Don't forget to watch the footage on Speedweek on the 11th of June.

Cheers Guys,

Dan.

Hey.

I like the car.Good to hear that it made it back all in one peice.

What was the power of the car like compared to the old engine?Does it feel lighter and better handeling than before?

I never realised that bel garage was sponsoring you until just recently.I drive past them sometimes after work.Used to look at them and think ive seen that somewhere before but couldnt quite pin it.Now i know.:ermm:

Yeah Bel are coming on board in a quite big way, they have spent plenty of time with the car, so that is good.

In fact just through tuning it last week they have managed to get 25% more top end and another 50nm of torque without upping boost!!! Actually upping boost did really nothing, we gained 4rwkw and 30nm of torque with a 0.3 bar increase... now lets strap that bigger huffer on the side and see what happens!

Had to laugh when I saw the power curve though... shoots straigh up to 197kw by about 3000rpm and basically sits flat all the way to 7000rpm... as for the torque... it is at around 750nm by 2200... gold!!!

Now we have to decided if we go a 30/37 or a 35/40... at this stage we are going to look at the 30/37 with a 38mm external wastegate on a custom manifold... don't think it will be in until after QLD though... as that is only 2 weeks away! :0

Oh, and thanks for getting my AFR around the right way... I hate going by memory.

I actually got some dyno graphs... and left them on the table on Sunday to show the boys when they came around... I would love to claim that one of them knocked their beer over on it and recked them... but it was me... and worst thing was it was when I was only on my first beer!!!!

Must have been too sober : LOL!

Anyway, it'll be back on the dyno on Sunday... I'll try and get a print of a power run then and scan it.

Oh, and we found that the vairable valve timing wasn;t working... this might have been effecting the top end a little, certainly felt better after it was fixed, but still needs more!

Dan.

And I left the Graph at Bel.

Gotta give a huge rap to Jamie at Waterhouse Auto Care, The car is taking a belting straight out of the box and thus far is taking every last bit of it. Even Bel are impressed with the numbers we are pulling with such a fresh engine. Just goes to show that using the right tolernces make a big difference... So yeah, if your within 50kms of Penrith... get out and see Jamie. (4721 7227)

Dyno runs on Sunday produced 206rwkw and 746nm of torque, the AFR was between 10.9 and 11.1, so still pretty rich there, a little more tuning and we should see 230rwkw and 750nm torque before we strap on the new turbo in a couple of weeks, thank to GCG for all there help with that... Bring on 280rwkw of tyre fryin powar!!!

We are off to QLD Thursday night for round 2... totally out of cash, but hey... we have scrapped by before and will do it again..., then a round in NSW to recover before we head to Tassie!

Can't wait to carve it up at QR on Friday... meight even get to look a bit at suspension set up.

Take it easy kids, and stay sideways,

Dan.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
