Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham

Ahh i see now. I thought the radius was only measured from the centre to the exducer edge. Thanks for the replies guys.

Hi Tao i was having think about A/R specs on the stock OP6 turbo, which i believe is .64, and was wondering... Does highflowing a turbo change the A/R? or more specifically reduce it? as i assume the inlet area stays the same but the exducer radius increases or am i thinking about this incorrectly.

Hi all, thread revamp Im looking to buy one of the new Speedtek dog gearsets (i know the history) and was wondering if one of the sequential conversions above would work, noting the concerns re normal syncros.

I still pop my head in from time to time, but mostly do events with the Heritage Nissan club now.

Listen to Uncle Duncan, his advice is exactly right. you're going to need new tyres if you're pushing street ones around a track in no time anyway.

Ahh ok, thanks mate.

Hi all. Long shot but ive been searching for a while trying to find the 1-5 gear ratios for the GTS4 box, all i can find are comments that they are shorter. Does anyone have them on hand or in an archive somewhere cheers.

Thanks mate, thats exactly the info im after. It is a 25. i will go ahead with the original plan then but a g3 then how does a G3 compare to SS2? im not sure what the name of the profile actually mean. as you said its a little confusing on the site.

attended a few events NSW Time attack with the boy. was good catching up with people from when i was cool 2022 Camp Quality super cruise. again GTR festival. again.

I bought a matching pair of Recaro LX confetti seats with Fishnet head rests and some imported some Juran Racing rails, ive built them before out of stock rails but these are so much nicer, no play at all.Ordered a custom 350mm Nardi DeepCorn but after been told it was arriving soon for 6months i cancelled the order. I ended up buying a 370mm Momo Prototipo and im so glad i did. it is such a nice wheel to hold, 350mm would have been a pain and i dont think the Deepcorn would really suit the build.

Up to date March 2023 yearly update time again. Ive put in a Power FC, already tuned to how this car is setup from a fellow Canberran 31er. Next on the list isHyper gear High flow, injectors and a retune Replaced the front hubs, turns out they are S14 after all. I finally replaced the tailshaft, this one is from GJ drivelines, built to the same specs as the one i had made for Grumblebee so should be plenty strong and imported some DMAX Strengthened driveshafts

Went to the GTR festival last year Ive attended a couple of events with the Heritage Nissan club, including 7th day cruise and the Camp Quality super cruise which was cool. And last week hit up Marulan dtc with three mates. Managed to score the track to ourselves for the day which was awesome

February 2022 Another long time between posts. Have really done much other than driving which is probably why. Ive replaced a couple of buttons and printed a mount for the old profec. The water pump was leaking so i resealed it, cam seals and replaced the belt and coilpack covers with some nice carbon items at the same time.

December 2020 Fair while since my last post. Mostly just been enjoying the car and driving it every opportunity i get. Since last time i have ordered another set of centres for the original wheels after the original stuff up. Now that i have a set of rego wheels i decided to have these made as centre mount, safe to say i measured everything like 10 times. Im really happy with how they turned out. Ive also spent some time playing with the suspension. Reducing the spring rates to 6/4kg and setting the basehights for bumpstops and then lowering it a little on spring. No more jarring which is excellent, no tyre rubbing either. Im tackling a dash out alarm installation now, not fun. But at least it'll be better than the old ratsnest!

February 2020 Had the car ran on the dyno today, just wanted to get an idea of the state of health. Afr's are little lean but otherwise pretty healthy. The ecu is a Toshi tune for 12psi, so going to bump it up to there.

Mate gave the car a cut and polish on the weekend, looks a heap better now. Does anyone have suggestions for restoring/rechroming the reflectors in projectors?

January 2020 1.5 years later and this jerk is now registered! Couple of members suggested trying nsw on the dodgy, as I'm act addressed and licensed, which I was trying to work out and stressing about until the missus said just call the Rms and ask. Which I did, and they were only too happy to do it as long as my garage address was nsw (thanks mum) Passed blueslip no problems and now is on the road, fair to say I'm pretty stocked. Now I can worry about engineering at a more leisurely pace. Big thanks to Masters for the grill, just waiting on the wing and a few other bits now. Edit, for some reason tapatalk is turning my pic into a potato...

December 2019 Hmmm, thought I'd updated this thread, oh well. Heap more stuff done, getting pretty close now. Not in order, just trying to remember everything I've done. Car starts and runs now, with a couple of test drives up the street. Start almost first go, if not for a difference in the s1/s2 series wiring which is covered here > https://forum.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?topic=145691.0 Bought a airbox from yahoo, first time importing from Japan, man those rates hurt the back pocket. Since then bought a genuine GTSR wing (to replace the copy that my son bumped off the boot and cracked) rear washer pump and assorted rubber bumpstops. Intercooler mounted, new rad support Exhaust and intercooler piping is done, interior is back together. Stereo system had to be completely rewired due to heaps of dodgy wiring. Got every instrument on the dash working! Has to be my first 31 to have that. Resistor worked for the tacho, bought a whole bloody fuel tank to get the fuel sender out of it and r33 boost sensor sorted it all out. The wiper motor died, so had to buy another and redo it to. Sourced another reo and painted it. Front bar from Ads, autospoiler from Angry and vents have been painted, to be fitted this weekend. Drip tray and new pedal rubbers from Ads also been fitted. New whiteline front swaybar and new mounting for the rear. Decided not to use the jjr grill and filler panel, just too flimsy. So I've been trawling every site to find a late model GTS grill, if you have one for sale please hit me up.

October 2019 Been chipping away at wiring lately. I've basically been re wrapping any wiring that I need to touch at the moment. Jaycar loves me. Made a board in the boot pass through to mount the lipo battery to, including a breaker as the cable is going through the car. Remote battery post and fuseable link, tried to reroute the loom to it a little better. I've bought new Nissan plugs for the alternator, starter and oil pressure sensor, new turbo studs, o2 sensor, 33 gearknob speedo cable etc, made a new gearbox loom and now I have reverse lights Hardest bit has been confirming the wiring due to the last conversion. Next up is the ecu wiring in the cabin. Oh and So far this car has a Stagea engine and rear hubs, r33 Gearbox loom and ecu , s14 front struts, z31 front hubs. S15 diff and axles, R32 gtr cradle, brakes and sump, FWD and RWD wheels. Even early hr31 model tail lights and late model lights. Think I've got a name for it now. Frankenstein, Franks for short.

August 2019 So the rego wheels have arrived but there's a small problem with this too. (I'm really getting sick of wheels now) The faces have different profiles, I think they look odd as it's deeper concave on the front. I'm kinda torn whether to do anything about it as there is no indication on the distributor or enkeis website stating this. But also they are supposed to just get through engineering so should I care? Anything I do will push back it getting completed. silver linings they fit without fouling on anything, the track measurements are spot on in the middle of whats allowed and the colour is what I wanted for the original rims so that how I'll get them resprayed.

There is a hole in the boot floor from a fuel cell (I think). Luckily I am in the middle of remounting the cell in grumblebee and had a bit of section spare. Ready to be welded in. Chipping away at it, been busy building a cubby house with my dad the last few weekends but been able to get a few things done. Boots finished, not perfect but as it's covered by carpet and a fuel tank I don't care. Fuel tank has been neatened up and I replaced the pump with a Walbro 255. New gktech braided clutch line. Noticed the harmonic balancer was cracked so replaced it, will be nice to see the timing marks.

June 2019 Well, I dun stuffed up. I messed up the backspace measurements for the rear wheels. I forgot to lock down the disks with a wheel nut and took the measurements as 12mm instead of 16mm. This means the spokes are fouling on the calipers and can't be used without a spacer which is a no go for engineering. So plan going forward is I found some of the shelf wheels with the correct offsets which will be used for rego and the old ones will be used shows or something. Pretty annoying but these things happen. New ones are Enkie PF07s in 17x8.5 et35 and et55. After quadruple checking everything the track works out to be 1435mm front and rear. They should fit nicely, with brake clearance as well, just not in a style I was after. Friend photoshoped them on for me. In other news, I dropped the motor and gearbox on last weekend. Went in well, gojacks and hoist balance tool really help but I'd say we're well outta practice being the old farts we are now haha. Thanks to these to legends for the help. Just slowly connecting everything up now.

January 2019 Unfortunately I managed to crack the windscreen when I cleaned the bay, so new windscreen is in now as well. And I've spent a little time with a dolly and made some progress with the dent. Little more to go. May 2019 Spent a bit of time on this lately but I'll skip past all the boring parts. Basically bay is painted with stuff going back in and cleaning up/replacing as I go, painted the wheel wells and calipers. Pull out some of the dodgiest wiring from the old alarm, gauges and not looking forward to fixing the body loom from the last v8. Nearly ready for the motor to go in. Can't wait

January 2019 sourced a new front bar from Ads, as the old one was cut past the waistband. Actually spent a bit of time on it today. The engine bay was completely covered in oil/dirt (the whole underside is, suspect from one of the blown motors). So got all the stick on shielding off - glue was a nightmare, and took a wire wheel to the damaged paint underneath the clutch master. Then pulled the guards off to check for the usual rust spot, none there thankfully and then spent the day degreasing and high pressure washing it all down. I forgot to get a pic beforehand, but the crossmember was completely black. Had a go a knocking the dents out, but I'll need to pick up the proper tools from my father. I'll get it smoother then hi fill and then off to a painter for a bay spray. Its not going to be a show car but I'd like it to at least look ok.

December 2018 Barra came out on the weekend. Im going to give the bay a tidy up before the 25 goes back in. looks like the body loom has been bastardised so wish me luck with that No pics for these but I bought a new intercooler, about half the size of this behemoth- yes, those are 4in inlets... a Misihimoto Z-line. Sized for the response and power levels I want. New battery as well, Lithiumax 450CCA. Thing weighs 2kg! And a new front bar from Ads, as whoever cutout the bar for the intercooler cut past the waistband ffs. I have a replacement reo to go in aswell The other bit of news is I recently bought what was supposed to be a 32GTR diff and axles from a guy in Melbourne on Gumtree. However what I got was a s15 diff and axles, and he stopped replying when I asked for my money back. Once I got over having the shits about it, I decided to use them as it does have a Torsen centre. Again, im only wanting around 200kw and theres plenty silvias with that so of power so axles shouldn’t have an issue. I have a complete stagea rear subframe, so I stole the hubs from it – one side needed stud so I bought GKTech extended ones and slapped it all together. I love 90’s nissans, you can mix and match. So far im counting bits from Stagea, S15, R32gtr and R33
