hahahaha..

thanks..

doughy? what are my options for increased CR without the $$$'s?

will the 8.3:1 feel doughier than a stock rb20det?

quench.. so does anything need to be done here with 30e bottom and 25de head?

tuner.. I guess you an point me in the right direction of this TUNER that can make the stock ecu do all this?

turbo - check

gaskets - check

inlet manifold and injectors and fuel rail - check

blah blah blah... no water spray.

Sorry about the fingers.

I will look forward to Joel and Darrens's reply to my questions about lowering the engine while using the stock plenum and so on.

also, how that affected the gearbox and other bits down the line to the rear.

Are there any R32 gtst RB30det's in sydney willing to take me for a spin?

Sorry the GTR that had the original RB30DET in it is long gone, it was sold 4 years ago. Almost finished a new RB31DET for the R32GTST, maybe when it is finished.

The 3 litres with DOHC have so much torque in the light R32 GTST, you won't notice any slight doughyness.

:cheers:

I can't wait to get mine completed, see what its like compared to the trusty old rb30et.

You would think way better, with higher comp ratio and higher flowing head, but we'll have to wait and see.

The rb30et has blown many a car away of higher pedigree, so this in theory would have to be insane, even with a modest size huffer.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Mine is around the 8.3:1.

I can let the clutch out at idle and accelerate in first quicker than a Auto LS1 VYII *stocker* can accelerate by simply flattening it, thats taking first to around 5000rpm then changing in to second where it only accelerates for a fraction of a second I am then at around 80km/h the LS1 is sitting on my rear bumper. Both reaction times are exactly the same & repeated twice.

It is nice not having to play catchup for once, pitty I can't give it more due to the lack of a tune :cheers:

So I wouldn't worry about it being dougy.

BUT ALWAYS A BUT.

If I were to do it again I would definitely get a custom set of forgy's made up to suit a 9:1 comp. Especially if you intend to use a pair of aftermarket cams.

EDIT: Regarding cams you SHOULD be able to obtain an indication how the motor will respond (peak power/torque) to a certian cam timing, duration etc by looking at the SR20DET with the same cams. Same/very similiar bore & stroke so in theory it should react similar.

Joel. I found a clip on a link you provided to one of your cars video's of when it started..

I actually couldn't see that clip but found one called "MILD_r32.wmv"

is that your car?

that is sweet.

from what I can see, it is about 5.5 seconds from 0-100km/h, with a pretty average launch, then just under 14 seconds till it hits 180km/h..

It's definitely a GTST dash/speedo and running at least 1 bar boost..

it's weird.. you can't hear any spooling or bov or squeeling tyres or anything...

brilliant..

so who's car?

what mods?

what power?

You had me baffled for a sec there, then I clicked.. You checked out my webspace. :)

It was the RB20DET that used to run 0-100 in around 5.2secs with a good launch and from 5.5-6 with a bad launch. Then on to 175km/h in just over 13secs.

The reason you can't hear squeeling is there was none, the tyres don't squeel until they get low on tread. :D

The bov etc isn't loud as its still running the stock airbox & filter. :)

If you drop the motor, you will also need to drop the gearbox via crossmember spacers, a similar distance, and also possibly the centre bearing support on the tailshaft if you want to keep all the geometry right, wouldnt you?

When I dropped the motor in my R33 conversion, I just left the gearbox mounts and tailshaft position as it was. The angle change didn't really translate to any visible extreme at that end. I probably dropped it more than the 12/15 mm mentioned as well...probably closer to 20/25mm. I did over 75k kilometres with this setup, and had no vibration/tailshaft issues. Unfortunantely I haven't had any experience with the R32 chassis....

Yeah I doubt the angle will have any effect at all..

Well I know you can't redrill each side the same amount.. as they are on different angles.. got any photos? :)

Guess I will have to experiment.. need to keep the same angle though or the gearbox and stick will be on the wrong angle also..

I removed all the clutch packs etc from the GTR transfer case in the weekend so I can convert the box to 2WD.

Ben,

From memory it was something like 15mm on the drivers and 13mm on the passenger.

The motor sits exactly the same angle as it previously did.

All hoses & even the stock IC piping bolts up perfecto.. No misalignment at all.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
