My car is finally going in to be tuned by Mercury Motorsports next friday the 18th and I just felt like sharing my excitement with everyone, lol. its been a very expensive 4 months and I will be happy with 270rwkw, although I am told they might be able to get 300rwkw out of her with the mods I got. And I hope to make the motor last as long as possible.

I plan on running around everyday on 9psi and cranking it upto whatever they tune it to when I need the extra grunt. I know 300rwkw is nothing special, but for me its 4 months of pain and suffering paying off finally. I will be at the East Coast Customs dyno day and I cant wait to hear it screaming away on the dyno with new turbo.

anyways, hope to meet a few more of you around the traps when I finally get back out and about :D

haha i am in the same situation as you man.

I havent been able to drive my car since february last year. 5 months waiting for my car to get out of the workshop, and now its at a dyno to see what happens.

300rwkw is my goal being still standard internals, but have a forged engine getting done at the moment.

Been fairly stressed out most of the time hahaha, but hope everything pays off. Best of luck for your car.

You have all the parts to make it... You will get 300rwkw at around 19 psi no worries on stock head and cams...

yeh i just going to be happy with anything over 270 atm until something breaks and i can throw in some forged gear. and do some head work

good to hear buddy, hope it all goes to plan. mine should be rolling on the road soon after yours. but not that much power to start.

nice one. u must be cheering hey?

its relieving to know i'll finally be at the point of achieving the first stage of the build up. most of the work was done by my housemate and myself. I got the intake and dump pipe done at Predator. so its good to know that some of my own blood and sweat has gone into it.

Yeah mate, fresh rebuild most of the things under the bonnet will be new. or near new. and alot of my time and time of people helping me has gone into it. it has been a to two workshops, once for painting and the other for piping, wiring, and some more. but the rest is and will be done in the shed.

i hope it makes it more satisfiying when i drive it.

i reckon you would get between 220 and 250rwkw. I knew someone up the coast with that turbo, full aftermarket ecu, 850cc injectors, z32 etc making about 275rwkw on an rb25

Its always great to do the work yourself, I hope you get your power but are you aware that over 250kw they are prone to failure? The ringlands are the weakest link in a stock motor but when they fail it is not usually horrific, I have run mine at 370hp (280kw) but with water/metanol for safety, it reduces pinging and gives me much smoother boost.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

Here is a pic of busted ringlands, the motor was sweet except for this.

i am going to be running that turbo on the 25, with z32, fmic, zhaust, nismo fuel reg, nismo fuel pump.

forged engine though, on 10 psi i want 230ish rwkw. so you should make a little less then that on 16 ish. Dr Drift(sam) will let you know where the car in comfortable to run it at.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.

      Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
