Some of you know that I'm married to a rather understanding lady that shares my passion for things with wheels. She knows of my late night meetings with "the other woman", the one with the big, red R on her hind quarters. With the death of my favorite money tree(I blame the drought), the 32 has slowed in it's overhaul plans. So, I've been flirting with an old flame...

Carbon Fibre. Black gold. The über strength to weight material. Oh, how I love thee!

My car has some select parts made of my favorite composite, but I want more. MORE! This material fascinates me so much, I'm ready to tale the next step. So, I'm putting it out to you all: I want to learn how to make Carbon Fibre. I don't want to read web pages, I want hands on with someone who's done it before. Who knows someone? A course I might take? Experience counts, people!

I'm listening! PM's accepted as well...

do a google search for "DIY vacuum forming".

I made my own vacuum former using parts from a refrigerator compressor I had lying around and make some small parts with it... also helps with getting air out of resin mixtures and thermoforming plastics.

Now we're talking! When F. M. kicks in a suggestion, I'll be listening! Ta!

If anyone here was to "turn to the darkside" it wouldnt be Jayce, Ive never met a bigger Skyline tragic :)

To me, this is not just music to my ears, but a huge compliment! Nissan Skyline for life! Need proof? Ask me about an ages old tattoo I have...

Welcome back, Gus!

And the CF thing will be further researched in days to come; stay tuned!

PICS!!!!!

And Petey has already told me I'm not allowed to have GTR tattooed anywhere on my body :)

I guess that means I'm off his list then!!

I'll see if I can organise a decent pic'...

Hehe he may like it I just don't think he wants to see it on his wife!! :)

You know he wants it, go on!

Seriously, tho'; the GT-R was always a long term dream of mine, and will stay with me until...well, it doesn't bear thinking about! So the tattoo was a respect thing for me...and will also stay with me to the grave!!

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
