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.

    • Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍
    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
