It's actually not a STI but some JDM import. He's thinking of getting rid of it too and buying a modern fast car, like a i30N or a M2 non Comp.

That's so dumb. -
R34 skyline noise limit
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to drifter17a's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Apparently it's at the control tower, yeah I know Roll Racing doesn't have it however the irony is they use the same main straight. -

SMSP has a 95dB limit for track days, however it appears they don't really enforce it, especially when they use the main straight for Roll Racing and those cars are anything but quiet. Also screamer pipes are such a distraction on track days, you're too busy enjoying the noise to actually be focusing on driving fast lol. -
Took the shit box out with a couple of mates today. Stopped at the usual Headland Hotel for breakie.

It is, especially when you can control the pedal curve, which cannot be done on a traditional setup unless you swap the the throttle wheels and that's still garbage because it's generally a fixed curve. If you've ever driven a car with a large cable throttle you'll notice it's ver touchy at low RPMs, you can get rid of that behaviour with DBW and exponentially ramp in the DBW TP vs. your Accelerator Pedal Position (APP). And lastly superior cold start, idle control.

I use this one, was sub $100 when Autobarn had some online sale. https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Shop-our-Full-Ranges-by-Brand-|-Autobarn/Streetwize/STREETWIZE-SHOW-CAR-COVER---UP-TO-5M/p/PR20531 -
PonieBoi R32 Sedan Build

Cranking table will need a tickle, also I find with larger injectors they do strange things once they heat soak. -
You should open up a drive in and drive out service. (In Sydney, Australia lol). I would drop off the shit box for this service.

Harmonic balancer bolt tighten technique?
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to GD51LA's topic in Tutorials / DIY / FAQ
Could wait till it's in the car, gearbox mounted up and then pop it into a higher gear, handbrake up and torque away. -
I just think these shit box motors naturally make heaps of heat and Nissan slapped on the water/oil heat exchanger to keep the oil temps happy. I would assume without any evidence the water/oil heat exchanger is quite efficient at removing excess heat from the oiling system. This is why a mild RB shit box with a decent radiator and OEM fan/shroud is able to keep water and oil temperatures quite stable for street/drag/roll racing usage. It's only when the water cooling system is overwhelmed is when shit hits the fan super quick. I believe @GTSBoy has a better explanation than my broscience lol.
-
It's more so to remove any risk of the heat exchange failing and turning your oil into a frappuccino. Most engine builders will delete it for that reason as well as simplification of hoses etc. Same reason I launched mine too.
-
@soviet_merlin looks like someone has removed it. Probably easier to just get a proper oil cooler setup installed with an oil thermostat. Then send its mum.
-
I think this is a generic photo of the kit, but you get the idea. The oil cooler in these kits are placed between the IC and AC condenser.
-
Another way to do it, is to use the Greedy relocation blocks, then make up your own lines and mount your oil cooler where you want it. Alternatively just buy their kit, although it comes with a small-ish oil cooler, which would be plenty for your usage anyhow.
