that basicaly goes through everything. if you are only looking for 300-350kw range the stock internal bottom end is fine (good for 600hp and 7200rpm) remember that all pricing on their site is in NZD not AUD.

Anyone know where is good to order online that is pretty quick?? I am after parts first week of November. Got a few places but not sure if they have all that I need so would be good to shop around.

Cheers :banana:

Send it up Kat...our head work is top shelf PM Jz R33 as we just did an engine for him that he picked up on Saturday.

Our engines have a proven track record taking out several Autosalon power championships and powering our R32 drag car to win the Australian title in 2004-2005. We have just built our current engine in our race car to push over the 1000hp mark and into the 8 sec bracket.

Im doing a couple of engines for ACT customers actually...you may know some of them.

Kat, make sure you consider this post!

LOL I'm happy to have 4wd and the more power she gets the happier I am! Haha rather have traction than fishtail down Gungahlin drive like what was happening when I had no front wheels engaging! :)

Do you know what yours dynos at the rear??

no idea at the moment...only got a 3 inch zorst and pod so i cant imagine more than 140ish 150ish at the wheels...plus i took the boost controller off so its running stock boost at the moment :) still enough compared to the old pulsar but.

it's booked in to autotech next tuesday, they are going to check air / fuel, try and diagnose that sensor problem thats making the car feel crap. hopefully give me a power figure then. when i spoke to the guy today he said it might jsut be easier to get a power fc so i can tune it n stuff...we'll see.

i bet the fishtail was fun hey? i had my first powerslide incident coming out of a round about the other day when it was raining...not as bad as what i expected it to be but...

Power FC FTW!!! Best thing I ever bought for it.... So far :)

Compared to the Pulsar must feel like a rocket!! I remember getting in the GTR for the first time after driving around a non turbo for 4 or 5 years... Haha OMG!!! :)

Well I've always had good results from those guys so they should be able to sort it out for you. I wasn't sure how stock yours was. At least it's nice and tidy, I like stock so then you can do whatever you want to it. Modding = expensive but awesomes!!!

LOL was a bit embarrassing cause was unplanned!

yeah my awesome powerslide was pretty much me jsut out of a roundabout...was going straight and put my foot down...hit boost was fine...hit 4K = loss of traction pluss bit of a kick

was kinda cool hehe.

where di u source your FC from kat??? can autotech get them or do i have to go through an online shop?? ive never shopped online before lol :) somewhere local supply them??

guess ill wait for them to tell me what the problem is first.

Sinista v1.0 (Black GTST) ran 178rwkw. Pod, Zorst, T-peice boost controller and 2530 turb.

Sudden stop at metal bus stop by next owner ~ 0rwkws :)

Guys that have done this all before me, can you please let me know wht brands you have used for....

Cams

Pistons

Conrods

Injectors

Oil Pump

I have some ideas now and wanna hear what everyone else is using :banana:

Cheers.

Just been through it all, engine is at the builders now!

Cams: Tomei, Hks or other (not sure were already in engine)

Pistons: i went with Mahle pistons (Probably one of the best pistons you can buy) were around $900

Conrods: i went with Pauter. (also one of the best money could buy at the time) also were around $800

Injectors: i bought some 800cc injectors (i think they are denso) from slide on this forum (in the for sale trader section)

Oil Pump: Using N1 pump still. (with a well balanced bottom end, and staying away from rev limit launches etc they will be fine) will be looking at dry sump later on

Best thing to get is the nismo full engine gasket kit too @ around 4-500 bucks its very good value :P and you wont have problems with leaky aftermarket gaskets and seals..

I bought most of my engine parts in the Usa, while the dollar was at around .95, therefor i spend a bit more money and got myself Very good parts.

also got a n1 water pump for around 200 bucks from the usa..

As for other bits and pieces (jap branded stuff) got most of them from www.greenline.jp

I'm close to the 10k mark already tho i did buy a complete n1 motor as that was ment to go straight in........ haha

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
