What area are you in? Its at a few places now, so if the skyline isn't your daily driver you'll be fine.

You're talking a 2.6L right? Mine maxed 1000's at 403rwkw but its an rb30 - capacity makes a difference.

I'm near blacktown... as far as I know the closest one is at richmond

and I dont have a 2nd car so the skyline is the daily... even though it doesnt get driven everyday

I see that stated a lot but can't understand why! Can you explain why would engine capacity makes a difference?

Because bigger capacity motors make more torque and hence don't usually rev as much to make the same power.

Oh of course - we really should be talking about what torque the injectors max out at since that will be related to airflow - not at what power.

Yeah it can be a bit confusing, being as pulse width is static all that changes is duty cycle. So even though at high rpm more fuel is being injected over time, less fuel is being injected per pulse. So if you have fuel pump issues etc you might see it leaning out at high rpm but fine at peak torque, but if the injector is the issue it will lean out at peak torque.

I think I've got that correct, also explains why injectors required to make x rwkw can vary wildly as seen in this thread.

Just out of curiosity do people ever play with the pulse width to try and get more out of injectors, or will that cause a drop in pressure? Or are injectors designed to operate at a specific pulse with, assuming I haven't got this all ass about?

Ermington might be a little closer? its 10-15 from my place (Parra/westmead)

so talked to a reputatble tuner (in sydney) tonight

he's going to be tuning my car going forward

i've decided to go with a Haltech for dual maps

BP98 shoud get be 320-330 all day everyday

and with e85 he said I'll be able to run 27psi and the motor should be fine (he said he's done a fair few unopened RBs with this much boost and its all fine)

and he also said it should crack 380-400kw with e85 :banana:

also asked him about cams and cam gears

with -9s he said there is no need for cams (which seems to be the consensus on here as well)... nor cam gears (which I thought was a little weird)

but I'm gonna go with what he says and see what happens

car should be going in about 5-6 weeks so will keep you all updated

P.S dont start bashing the tuner or me... positive comments only please :thumbsup:

Do eeeeet!!!

Graphs of two pls....with RPM

Thank you

Pls come again

edit...

An update this guys thread while youre at it

Hey guys quick question.

Is there any real need for a hard pipe kit at around 300kw.

Couldn't hurt could it?

Just gathering bits up for turbo upgrade and wondering if its a good idea.

Cheers

Luke

I think you'll find Rolls is just messing around, or forgetting this isn't an RB20/25 thread :)

Hard pipes are not required for 300rwkw. Spend the money on improving a different area.

    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
