ok heres the car ready to be tuned finally after 8 months of problems and setbacks :P

tuning is this thursday as mentioned, unless something goes wrong in the meantime :) no power figures for atleast 2-3 weeks as it will be getting run in.

couple of pics with everything on, and my old man (the fabricator, hehe) made a turbo heat shield for the exhuast housing for about $10, after finding out the hks ones are $270 and gcg want $180 for a plain one. didnt come up too bad in the end :)

Good luck for thursday, I'm sure all will go well. Just out of curiosity, are you running a surge tank or in tank fuel pump set up?

OK, just read the 1st page. Nice set up, no problems with fuel starvation that's for sure.

I think that it takes a bit of good old Aussie ingenuity to undertake a project like this. Well done. Hopefully everything hangs together well, and you finally get some fun out of the Stag!

Sometimes i really wonder why you didnt buy a 260RS ?

Then it would have a standard RB26 in it.

And the engine is has now is FAR from standard.

Plus the fun/satisfaction factor

Sometimes it all about the journey, not the destination.

:whistling: cheers :stupid:

I just meant, having a 260RS wouldve saved a lot of hassles having to buy an rb26 in the first place. The original unit could have been rebuilt, and there would have been less hassles with changing diffs, gearbox, etc. Even the chassis would be slightly stiffer on the autech.

But then again, the price of the 260RS would be 3-4 times that of the stagea :D

At the end of the day, this is looking great

Didnt he already have the RB26 from his VL?
Correct.

Lovely, just to say good luck with the mapping and the run in period. my only concern is heat, I'd definitely get a turbo blanket on it, I have had a LOT of heat issues even WITH a blanket and wrapped downpipe on my single Apexi turbo RB25 in a track car, to the extent I really need a new engine loom. The heat, on track, is simply immense, as is the heat retention when stopped. It beggars belief how much radiation there is off the manifold and exhaust housing, wastegate and plumbing.

hey guys thanks for all the support and nice comments :D

firstly i didnt buy a 260rs cause their wasnt any on offer in november 2004 when i actually bought this thing (and have only done 900km in it since :cool: ). series 1's were as good as it gets, and plus as mentioned i had the rb26 from my previous car (VL calais). The vl was a nice car and spotless but all the electrics and interior were crap so i needed a daily ride instead with comfort yet still a sleeper as i was always paranoid about parking the vl at shops/dodgy areas because of thieves and jeleous idiots. i spent 3 years on the vl project with plenty of time spent finding info on the conversion as no one in perth knew what an rb26 even was back then (over 5 years ago now). so i sorted it and managed a dyno figure of 350rwhp on 17psi, only revving to 7200rpm or so to save the motor (unknown condition and unknown km's) and ran a 12.0 at 118mph on its 3rd pass and snapped the tailshaft uni joint and bent a diff arm cause of the 10" slicks getting lotsa traction :D

so i was sick of smashing driveline bits (broke a tailshaft uni on a previous drag meet aswell), so i needed something that wouldnt be a handful on the street and drivable in the wet, which the vl was like a car on ice for traction. so my choices were gtr 32 which was tooo old and dating interior wise, or a stagea, and so the late 96 stagea was a perfect choice, dual sunroofs, full electrics, spotless cond, etc and for 18k i was lovin it :) people dont associate the stageas with skylines because the taillights look different meaning no cop hassles and potential theives think its a done up volvo :) so the stageas rb25 went in the vl and sold it and the 26 went in the stagea :)

so in the end i woulda saved money buying a 260rs str8 up but i did have highflow turbos/autronics, etc in the costs so it was fairly modified. gtr diff has been added after snapping a stagea rear axle in half from a rolling start coming on boost, so lets just see how the rest of the driveline hold up now :

heres a few pics of the vl and the fully detailed engine bay with everything removed pretty much so it looks 100 times better than the stagea bay, plus i filled in all the unused holes and repainted it.

Looks very very nice

You do make me jealous. Even that vl looks a piece of art, particularly the engine bay :D

Now hurry up and get it tuned !!!! :P

cheers tommyk

swap ya for the r34 gtr anyday :cool: ill keep my motor though :)

this is a better engine bay pic, nice and empty :D

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
