i like corners! but sometimes i feel like spending all the money on power instead of looking at handling when someone else in the same car smokes me at the lights! :P

I do.

That's why I have a Peugeot 205 GTI as well. It is more fun than the GTR in the twisty hills near me. The GTR feels too wide and heavy and always makes me feel like I'm driving too slow... until I look at the speedo. The Pug doesn't sound as good and against a stop watch it is slower over the same roads, but I can drive it much closer to its limits and not worry about killing myself because of one mistake.

Different cars with different personalities for different moods. Cruising in the Bentley was something altogether different again.

Regarding :I want more power . Who doesn't . LOL 292rwks isn't enough for me , I want more , more I tell you . Slap , the wife slaps me across the back of the head. I want another WRX , pergola , solar heating for pool etc , etc .

There goes that idea. :)

Good luck with the power thirst because it only gets worse. :P

MMMMMMMM new 35GTR MMMMMMMMM R34GTR dddddrrrooooooooollllll.

Because all we want after doing mods , is a newer version of our cars so we can suffer more power cravings . ;)

One of the problems with living in the western world is the need to accumulate stuff!!

When we finally get it we realize we need a bigger fix (bit like a druggie).

One thing's for certain though, life will pass you by and you won't take it with you.

lol.........I just read this back and I sound like my old man.........maybe he's smarter than I thought!!

ive dealt with jeff and he is awsome to work with, he tuned my 180 to perfection, i got nothing bad to say about shaun at all, its just ive used jeff and he did a awsome job! u mean all type crash that would be hayden, ive heard nothing but good from those guys, also i have used eagle paint n panel on old port road great workmanship there also!

im looking for a new car at the moment, not sure deep down i want another fd, but a 32 gtr n dirt bike would be cheaper haha

LOL that is SO true ahahaha... im going down pt wakefield doin 90 feels like im doing 60.. -,-'

but u did 260 and got gunned lollies :P

One thing's for certain though, life will pass you by and you won't take it with you.

thats right, enjoy it while u still can

cant take the $ with you

what about me :P faster than sinista :(

I believe you, got it on video :D

dan denied it tho' "sif film it when I didn't launch"

i like corners! but sometimes i feel like spending all the money on power instead of looking at handling when someone else in the same car smokes me at the lights! :)

i might add i went from a dato to this car, so half pressing the accelarator feels nutz to me :)

i dont have any probs at the lights, its rare i find something even up to scratch. mind you i prob don't drive as much as the rest of you guys as i catch the train to work, and 4wd gives me a major advantage on any car with simmilar power.

I feel the same sometimes aswell, wether it be an MX5, an FC or SW20, they all seem enticing, maybe when my daily runs itself into the ground I will get one, until then im still saving for a 2nd skyline.

I find in the hills with my wagon, what it doesnt have power wise in the straights, it makes up in the corners cos im less worryied about crashing it :ermm: and it seems less wide then the DR30 for some reason.

nice nice danny. gotta take my beast in on saturday.

so i was just wondering so long as we are on the topic. fuel pumps - wat size 550cc? and can i do it my self?

I think you're thinking of injector size.

Get a walbro fuel pump ($160 from here/NS.com, A Sard fuel reg ($180 delivered from nengun) and get the ECU remapped for 14 PSI

should crack 190 odd quite easily. Hoping for over 200 with the same setup on my car.

i used to be the biggest fan of the walbro's... but i would no longer recommend them. had a few failures from genuine units.. its not worth risking an engine over. Spend 30-40 bucks more and buy a bosch pump and be done with it.

Dont waste your time with a FPR either, you'll run into rail pressure and injector failure issues over time on a street car ( i run one for now but upgrading my injectors very soon)

exhaust

cooler

RB25 turbo

remap

1 bar boost

fuel pump

= around 200 rwkw, dont worry if its 190 or less... it all depends on the health of the motor and turbo combo.

theres some freak combos out there... Ev with the white r31 for example made 183 rwkw with a RB20 turbo on his... and the above supoorting mods. Jeff tuned it :banana:

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
