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

Simon and John Westmore for all the welding and tricky bits

LJ

Angry Liz

Jess

Victor

Nick (INTUNE)

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!

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

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
