  1. Easy fix- all in the cam timing Now running 20psi, plenty left in it. This is beautiful to drive on the street. this with a 200cell cat in place too!
  2. I bought this car back in May 2009 from an SAU member. Having wanted a 32 since i saw Skaife and Richards in the 90's i had no intention of selling it. It came with a built 26 and -7' but within 5 days of owning it, I caused a spun bearing by going around a corner with a low fuel level. Note to self- fit a surge tank! I had 26/30 that i had built for a 4 door and the decision was made to fit it. Anyway, like most plans have changed...well my wife has given me instructions to sell it & she must be obeyed. So here it is. Mick fron Signature Performance made it fit in the engine bay The car was my daily driver and has been 100% reliable. Engine is tuned for torque not top end power, if you driven a 3 litre, you'll never want to get back into a 2.6 Making bit over 500hp on 20psi and plenty theres more in it. Fit another 055 and E85 and shoot for some bigger numbers if that's your thing. Otherwise just enjoy the response and big torque that is, the 3litre Engine has done ~11000km. Engine Motor - built by Phil Ryal in Sydney. 26/30 ACL bearings Spool rods CP pistons +20 thou ProEngine sump adaptor Nitto oil pump- external pickup Grub screwed & knife edged crank NPC clutch & billet flywheel Enlarged and baffled sump Complete head rebuilt, usual things, ported head etc ARP main studs and head bolts Cometic gasket Tomei 260x9.1 poncams, cam gears Gates timing belt Garrett -5 turbo's, ceramic coated turbines Xforce dumps ceramic coated Standard ex manifolds ported & ceramic coated Delphi 890cc injectors- good size for E85 Nismo intank to 055 on surge tank Sard FPR Surge tank has currently a single 055 but was made for another 055 to be fitted if required Ross balancer Gearbox rebuilt new synchro's Autronic SM4 + CDI + aftermarket coil on plug ARE intercooler 50mm alloy radiator Remote oil filter with small oil cooler New clutch booster Suspension Bilstein shocks whiteline springs (Sydneykid setup) Whiteline ARB's New front camber kit bushes from Fulcrum Rear camber arms Hicas lock bar All 4wheel steer lines and bits have been removed completely, man there was some excess crap there. Apparently a Nismo 1.5 rear diff, but i can't be sure, i've never looked, just changed the oil. It does behave like a standard diff at times so maybe the preload has been set to around 60% but when you ask it, it'll lock up every time. Brakes Calipers new seals HPX pads Exhaust Unknown front pipe but beautiful stainless tuned length item 3.5 cat back with 200cell cat. Massive cannon with 4.5 tip. The exhaust is very quiet which i love as cruising @ 100 on the highway you can barely hear the exhaust note- but step on the pedal and the quiet note turns into a relentless growl Has a nice lumpy idle courtesy of the cams dialled for lower end response. Wheels 17 x 9 +22 Enkei's which I've polished Brand new Kumho HU19's 255/40/17, driven maybe 100km still bit greasy until the coating wears off. Interior Clean & bog standard, no boost gauges, dials or any other shit to detract from the clean interior. Impul dash Exterior N1 front bonnet lip and lights N1 bumper snorkels Paint-average, It looks good from a short distance but it's the last part of my project which i priced last week. But that won't be happening now it's going. It was grazed in the left rear guard, i haven't fixed as it was going to be sorted when painted. A clip from the side skirt has broken, easily fixed. It has 2 small dimples from shopping trolleys not paint off just small ding. Bonnet is starting to fade has 2 areas where clear is coming away. Ive priced it accordingly with respect to the paint. If you're interested i can give you his number as it was a cheap-ish price for me. 25k 0413 334 524 If you'd like higher quality pics let me know
  3. double post- nice
  4. Well if you can feel it then you've answered your question. What turbo is this from- have you been running it particularly hard? Could just be a manufacturing defect. Hopefully you get a good result from Eiji.
  5. CAn you take a pic that's in focus, it'll make it easier for us to see.
  6. Jesus, that was quick Yes i'll start one if people are interested.
  7. I disagree- DE's are the weaker version. The HR is a completely different animal essentially a redesign, it's much better. The HR rod is much stronger. I've spent the last month+ talking to tuners and guys running them in the US and I'm happy with what i've got. I think it'll surprise a lot of people. Running E85 and a special version of the Haltech, she'll do it very, very easily.
  8. Haven't visited since about page 102, good to see this thread is still powering on... Not building a 26 anymore for my S13- had too many block issues, so gone in a massively different direction and bought a VQ35HR last week - will be adding 2xTD0518G's instead Bought the Kando's last week as well- should be interesting. I like that fact that i can change housing's and wheels to suit my engine relatively cheaply so really looking forward to seeing how it pans out. Engine won't arrive for at least 2 weeks, gearbox departs the US next week along with a bunch of other bits. Not chasing big power, but looking forward to seeing how the torque arrives, will be also changing dif gearing to suit the ratio's of the Z gearbox...
  9. Keep it registered while the engine is built. Then just notify old transport of the new motor with the new engine number. Mine was a NSW registered car- so i had to get a roadworthy anyway- I didn't have any issues. Depends if the guy doing it knows what it is. When he sees the extra pice between the block and sump you could say its just extra bracing.
  10. Changing direction. Not using an RB anymore- going VQ with twin turbo's. Still plan on using a Kando turbo's probably 18g's Sourcing parts now. No set time Some bits coming from the US so months away..
  11. Hi Mick, 7 cracks on multiple cylinders mainly 3,4,& 5- majority on one side as well. I surmised it was overtightened from factory. Found another, its getting crack tested tomorrow. Failing that i'm looking an an N1 block from the US- just waiting on a response as to timing.
  12. I was just giving you sh*t Roy! It didn't look like the 33 was faster anywhere on those laps. Yep John looked like he had nothing left on the table in the braking department hence his "almost off" at turn 1. Although down on power it looked to be a very nice combo. So that was you with the smoke making machine-Nice! I've done the same thing, but it kept finding that spot when braking so that tyre was R00ted real quick.
  13. Looking for a standard bore RB26 block with girdle. Was in the process of rebuilding mine but found some cracks, so now it useless. Prefer Brisbane area so i can crack test it.
  14. No seriously thanks for posting that, it's always interesting looking at different combo's and how they perform on the track- cheers Bit of a pisser though, started assembling the 26's bottom end today and found some cracking in the water gallery to head bolt. Took the block for some NDI and put it under a magnescope and found 7 cracks ranging from 2 to 5mm in depth so that block is rooted. Need to find another standard bore 26
  15. Wow, they must be some pretty special street tyres Roy in the camera car......otherwise you and and your mate in the 33 can't drive for shit and need to have a real hard look at yourselves
  16. Fantastic thanks for posting Patrick! for info the T67 is ahead of my built25 with HKS3037S from 3000 onwards. Very impressive
  17. Thanks Scott, clearly i've missed those in my reading. I'll re-attack the posts.
  18. So are there any more results of the T67 in pump fuel other than SimonR32?
  19. +2 +2
  20. Bummer
  21. Saaaweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
  22. Keen to see the results like everyone, will help me decide on the T67 or 3071.
  23. 30% lighter is great, not sure about the 30% extra airflow. Its got the same trim and diameter as the standard part. Not sure how that could flow 30% extra. If it can be spun faster to produce more flow that's one thing, but, whether or not a gain can be had really depends on the compressor map- which we don't have.
