    pretty successful weekend, drove the car off and back on the trailer... only issue in the end was a failed rocker cover gasket which kept spitting oil on to the firewall, new one ordered ready for the next hillclimb second week of December... did have an intermittent miss issue at high RPM prior to leaving which in the end turned out to be a strange AFM issue that my tuner had never seen before (he's seen plenty of fake Z32 issues and is quite confident this isn't one...) whether it's the same issue or another one altogether the car does seem to do a strange surging specifically when i was coming back down the hill after each run, almost as though I was in too lower gear (even though i wasn't)...

    I had tried pming Scotty before posting but either his inbox is full or there's an SAU issue as i just get an error saying he can't receive messages, or something similar.... Cheers for the reply though.... I do have the 1250cc injectors that Kudos sell in my 'cart' but after reading a few threads on here and then googling I was having second thoughts....
  3. mr_rbman
    To save starting a new thread..... Is the contents of this thread still relevant?!?! As in are the ID injectors still worth paying basically twice the price or are the EV1-Bosch items closer to the mark 5 years down the track? (Looking for 11mm units to suit standard RB26 fuel rail to get me around the 400rwkw mark on E85...) ID1300x or 1250cc.....?!?
  4. mr_rbman
    I've got some Sard 650cc injectors from my 32 GTR if interested..... $200
  5. mr_rbman
    good results, definitely could pump a few more psi in there now you're running E85 if you wanted..... 25 psi if you have head studs, head gasket etc shouldn't be too much of an ask.....
  6. mr_rbman
    All preventative thankfully... -head gasket -head studs -oil pump gears -general inspection -and engine bay respray what turbos you go to make 360 @ 20psi?
  7. mr_rbman
    hi mate, still ongoing as they always are... Hope to have some results late this year or early next year...

    All items below have come from my R32 GTR making 310 rwkws @ 18-20psi, have only removed purely for upgrade. Garrett GT2860-7 (R34 GTR N1 turbos) in excellent condition (normal BB shaft play) $1150 + postage Sard 650cc injectors (were running at ~70% duty cycle @ 310rwkws) $200 + postage Extreme heavy duty clutch (<5000kms old) will come with flywheel) in excellent condition $200 + postage Will do a deal if someone wants the lot... Items available when I'm back in Adelaide >30/11/18...

    Will do... He did say 'We've kept it relatively rich & very safe timing' I have an event 4.5 hours from Adelaide in a week and a half which I've planned to drive to and from, so reliability is number one...
  10. mr_rbman
    Cheers Johnny. I have seen the Alpha Omega kit, just not $$$ I wanna spend til I have to (This is the budget car after all gotta save my $$$ for the money pit GTR...) Just got word from the tuner, it made 208rwkws @ 20psi on 98 ron... little less than i expected but these turbos clearly don't come into their own until 25 + psi... Running the standard airbox with it partially cut away at the front feeding cold air but that's the only possible thing I could think would be holding it back, it is a little warm in Adelaide today too apparently (31/32 degrees....) but wouldn't think either of thos would have too much of a detrimental effect...

    Already following u bud, have been for a while That result above is what convinced me to go the 67 instead of the 71 route... Assuming i'd better do head gasket too if i'm doing studs then!?! Biggest concern is the gearbox though... thinking if i push much more than 250rwkw's i'm just asking for trouble.... Also any thoughts on what secondhand cams i should keep an eye out for? (want to retain VCT & more concerned with response etc. than outright power...)
  12. mr_rbman
    and here is where the GTR currently sits... Motor seems to spend more time out the bay than in This time it's out purely to respray the engine bay (still struggling to decide whether i stick with the standard flat black or match the exterior which helps in keeping the bay clean for the inevitable oil spills...) Whilst the motors out though I'll be adding ARP 2000 head-studs, metal head gasket and giving the motor a general check-over in anticipation of some more boost/power/E85...

    Well as they say 'It never rains but it pours' After doing very little to either car for a while (just collecting parts & emptying my pockets) they are both now in at the shop, this is made easier now having moved jobs and working away... The S15 is getting some what I'll call 'budget' upgrades, only bought the turbo new.. Kinugawa GTX2867 turbo Nistune ECU Nismo 740cc Injectors Genuine Z32 AFM Walbro 460Lp/h fuel pump Sticking with 98ron for now... Will see how it goes and may contemplate cams + E85 next year if the S14 gearbox can hold up... Being new to the SR world I'm seeing they seem to respond far better than RB's to cam upgrades... Based on the above mods what cams do SR people think will net me the best results???
  14. mr_rbman
    apparently need to join SMASA ($40 p/a) and they assess the car... planning to do the same early new year...
  15. mr_rbman
    Chasing a pair of damaged / failed Garrett 2860-5 turbos. If their not failed they need to be 'failed' pricing.
  16. mr_rbman
    This is what I've been talking about doing with the turbo guru here in S.A I believe... Basically taking some -5's and putting billet wheels into them...?!?
  17. mr_rbman
    What do you mean by 'Highflowed -7’s' ??? Billet wheels or?!?
  18. mr_rbman
    $1100 bud
  19. mr_rbman
    i'll have a pair of -7's available in the next 3-4 weeks.... Currently making 310rwkw's @18psi on 98ron
  20. mr_rbman
    Fantastic info as always
  21. mr_rbman
    Has anyone just removed / bypassed the BOV's when they run into issues? I'm convinced the whole myth surrounding BOV's prolonging turbo life has been well and truly debunked... So is the only benefits to keeping them not getting the fully sik hectic flutter or is there something I'm missing?!?
  22. mr_rbman
    damn dude, you're really not having much luck with this engine/turbo combo
  23. mr_rbman
    yep, I'm still with them but it's been a couple years now...
  24. mr_rbman
    These guys (Integrated / PMC) are building a car to be damn quick, not reliable longevity... They have even gone to the extent of now running alloy rods purely to save weight etc... They want to win WTAC oz, end of story...
  25. mr_rbman
    Integrated Motorsport have their 9180 package for sale at a bargain price.... $2500....
