Rianto can you get hold of FPV Falcon 355mm discs with skyline pcd and centre hole dimensions?

take it anyway it's a bargain, or spend $1500 for a rebuild which an R32 will need soon anyway. then sell yours for $400 to help someone who has a totally stuffed unit but needs to keep driving.

aah crap. try sss automotive they are good for that kind of thing. alternatively have you thought about repairing it with epoxy? should be easy, it's not a stressed part.

as the title says - just wondering if the inlet temps are affected by leaving them off since all of the piping from the turbos is right above them. anyone actually measured this? thanks in advance for any advice.

gotcha now.....

ok enough crickets chirping...

?

Try Tony Farrugia.

Thanks for the lead Paul. Are they neccessary? Scott would prefer me to get rid of my stockers on the 26/30 as he thinks they might be restirctive, but I've not heard evidence of that for engines below 350rwkw. Bakes can you please post a pic of the whole turbo side of the engine with the piping installed. Cheers

Bakes is the turbo hard piping something you had already or was it considered a neccessary mod? I'm considering something similar for mine. Is it locally made or Jap? Cheers

OK for the record; The car runs 600cc nismo inj and produced 390 rwhp as per the first post and as Paul has indentified. As for my statement ...'Steve that IS 390 rwkw (and on stock injectors). Lol...' please note the Lol as it clearly can't be the case. Didn't hear it but saw the size of the frigging exhaust. Got to push the thing in and out of the workshop a couple of times, was fun with that set up, never had a flyweight car feel like 1700 kg before. Unfortunately that was the extent of its rotorvation.

Scott, his Dad, and Greg are great. Very professional outfit. They were all sharp despite having pulled incredible hours to get the Evo ready. Scott told me today that they were on the Evo until 6am on Saturday too but you can tell they live for it. I was there on Wednesday and Thursday. Did see the Rotorbishi, amazing peice of engineering. Couldn't stop crawling over / under it .

we were able to move the power curve using the adj wheels but with a 6250 redline there's not much to play with so we left them centred.

Steve it's hp not kw. To answer your question the response is very sharp. I'll let you know when I'm in Syd next.

So the 2.6 is actually over cammed for its capacity? Steve that IS 390 rwkw (and on stock injectors). Lol first posts states rwhp. I am in Canberra but the car was tuned at Insight Motorsport. The Superlap Tilton Evo was there while my car was getting tuned. Thing is a weapon (obviously) and beautifully put together.

the N1s should be fine. exhaust flow is exhaust flow whether it's from an RB26 or RB30. if the RB30 was spinning the turbos so hard they were backing up, they would be producing a lot more than 17 psi.

'clearly' based on the fact that the 3.0 is 15% larger than the 2.6. and the fact that the power drops off at 6250. and you are absolutely certain that they are using stock cams? not yet but it is on my list of things to do; cooler is No1 suspect i am getting 390 at 17 psi so presumably this means they are on track for that power range.

cams are stock Rb26, so clearly too small for 26/30. mild head work / clean up. plenum is standard. i think if his theory is correct it means that the 30 is producing enough exh to spin the R34s like mad but the cams are restricting air flow so the pressure just backs up, causing the over temp.

he really liked tuning it, said the feel even on the rollers was great, very torquey. no surprises there. i do have a graph just need to get near the scanner.

Hi People got some dampers for sale, check these out if you're interested. Cheers

Bilsteins have done about 10,000 Km. Dampers only. $950 including insured post within Aust. Konis have done about 5,000 km. Dampers only. They have been REVALVED by Toperformance and ride very well. (I was not happy with their poor ride and Koni in Holland actually footed the bill for the revalving.) $600 including insured post within Australia. I am selling these as I have obtained some Bilstein PSS-9 adjustables. I am willing to negotiate but sorry low ball offers will be ignored. Thanks

Recently had my 26/30 tuned. Running R34N1s, Trust dumps, nismo pump and 600 inj, Vipec plug and play. Stock FMIC. Produced 370 rwhp at 15 psi and 11.2 afr. Power drops after 6250. A brief run at 17 psi produced 390 rwhp Increasing boost above 15 psi makes intake temps rise dramatically. The tuner (a good one) claims this is due to the stock cams that are choking the inlet (cooling gas) and outlet (restricting hotside gas escape). I know the cams are responsible for the power nosing over at 6250 but can't see anything else in the setup that should cause intlet temps to rise so dramatically in relation to boost. Just wondering if anyone has seen this on their own car and noticed a big difference with cams. Thanks.

A word of advice; I've known John since 1995 and it took me 2 years to get a coolant de-aeration tank and thermostat relocation kit off him. Get a spare and ask him to work on it so you don't have your car off the road waiting for him. It's all good in principle but the Jensen engine I spoke about in the link in your opening post was a basket case and prone to overheating no matter the size of the radiator or thermostat temp as it was a boiler in that configuration. I also saw the test rigs he made that showed the GM and Ford oem stuff reversing or stalling coolant flow. The RB is a different story as it isn't prone to overheating and in the case of at least the RB26 has an oem air bleed. For $250 or so I think it's worth trying IF he can convince you that the oem unit is rubbish. It might not be perfect by his standards but if it's adequate then why bother. If you do get one please do back to back dyno runs to see if it affects anything at all ie power, torque, inlet temps, boost. ign etc. otherwise it wil be hard to know if it's made any difference. In the case of the Jensen his ideas did make a huge difference but like I said it was a basket case.
