Sif not put me up on the list!! :) I helped bag you and your white nugget out!! Would you like fries and a coke with that?? :)

Dont worry Steveo, when the flag drops your bullsh!t stops :bunny:

See you in 3 months.... not 2 years!! :D

Hey everyone!

My GTR's back on the road with a respectable power figure now, and ive got a lot of people to thank who have helped in either a small, or a huge way to the rebuilding of my car - so here's the list in no particular order;

Norm

Norms parents

Amy

Slide

Steve (UK)

Andrew (Hearne)

Andrew (Norms mate)

Sh@un

Dave TO4GTR

Anna

Nathan (DRIFTER) 02 Autosports

Greg Autosport engineering

All the guys at Powerplay

South coast rotary (thanks heaps junior!)

Simon and John Westmore for all the welding and tricky bits

Rocket Industries

LJ

Angry Liz

Jess

Victor

Nick (INTUNE)

Duncan

If there's anyone ive missed im sorry - its been a very long build!

So - the result? 476hp at the wheels on 21psi. Stock cams and cam gears not dialled in

Really, really nice to drive, its not a pig or a dyno queen . Its pulls very hard from 3800rpm to 7000rpm where the revcut is set to, so its sort of like the stock twin turbo setup but more power and more torque.

On the way home last night it had zero traction in first, second AND third (remember, its awd). Last night on the highway, in 3rd gear, up a hill, on semi's - it had no traction whatsoever......and i love it! Shaun will no doubt post up what he thought in detail.

Next step is to add the big brakes, drop in some cams, dial in the cam gears then do the gearbox.

Smoky: You've got no chance, sorry ;)

Well worth the wait, See you all at the track on Saturday :mage:

congrats stevo

i wnna be just like YOU!

wait...

no.

i want to have a car just like yours!

lol

*caugh*bullshit*caugh*bullshit*caugh*

*flees :D

:)

I don't see my name up there?? I'm pretty sure I've picked up old parts for you? haha!

I feel unloved

Fixed

More pics Stevo

They're coming, ill do a decent photo shoot soon

Any chance you will be giving out the odd passenger lap on Saturday?

Yeah dont see why not, there's a few people keen to have a lap or two. Come up and say hi, wont be hard to miss

lol, sif put you on the list! You havnt helped, you've hindered :)

Bring your helmet on saturday ;)

EDIT: Ill ring you after work and ill come round quickly

You want to go in a car with 350rwkws with a driver who has been driving a stock supra and stock commodorre for the last 2yrs?

You are insane!

BTW - what made you choose SCR for the tune? Did your engine builder suggest them?

Oi, no laps for you / soup nazi voice

Ive driven it for a few weeks before stepping up to bigger power.

SCR tuned it the first time it was tuned, they dont just do the job, they ask if you're happy before doing anything, explain everything in detail, ask exactly what i want done, dont mind me watching what they're doing, and they open when i need them open - plus they're great guys down there, really friendly and helpful. So it was back to them for this tune, and the next one (whenever that is) will be there

Yeah dont see why not, there's a few people keen to have a lap or two. Come up and say hi, wont be hard to miss, ill be the one getting lapped :D

Yeah i figured that, but what made you choose them in the first place? after all SCR stands for South Coast Rotaries. not South Coast RB's :D

:happy:

lol, my car is faster in the wet than yours will ever be in the dry :)

Im coming around to yours tonight, its on biatch!

Nice work Stevo, got the new bonnet over the mighty 30 yet? picsorban?

Nah mate :(

Looks like a z tune vent will be the go - tried a CF one and tried a fibreglass one but thats a no go on both! Very suprised the CF one didnt fit

Yeah i figured that, but what made you choose them in the first place? after all SCR stands for South Coast Rotaries. not South Coast RB's :P

I went there for the first tune cause they were the closest from the place i picked the car up from when it had the first "batch" of mods done, and they worked out for this tune aswel - perfect timing and great service, cant say no to that!

What happened??

congrats on getting the car back on the road :)

how long has it been?

Rings on number 6 were stuffed, heaps of blow by under long periods of hard load (eg the straight at OP GP) and the oil kept on being sent out the dipstick, when we pulled it down it was a good thing we did, bearing on 6 was about to let go

Been a tad over 2 years

Lazy.

I was so lazy i bought a twin turbo supra to keep me happy in the interim cause it was easier to spend 20k on a supra than 20k on gtr parts.......but still bought the gtr parts

    • Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
