Could any of you blokes let me know at what level the std RB26 conrods tend to break.

I'm pushing high 300's with my GTR and the tuner said that on e85 the torque produced could be too much for the std rods to handle.

the motor has forged pistons etc but i left the rods std because when i had it built i didnt think i was going to attempt to push for 400kw

standard rods will be okay its more an issue with the rod bolts... when it was built did they upgrade the bolts?

keep the rev limit sane and don't let it detonate and you should be okay

R34 GTR

Autronic SM4

Injectors

T04z turbo kit

Exhaust

Fuel pumps

Nitto head gasket

Drop in cams

STANDARD BOTTOM END

450kw @ all four wheels.

Does e85 help with engine longevity? The higher ron is much safer right, but the higher boost probably alleviates the buffer gained with better quality fuel.

If you didn't up the boost and ignition it would, but everyone does up the boost and ignition so the extra buffer is now gone.

T04Z/33psi/450 @ treads on E85 is an interesting result. Guess that shows the difference when people build motors and pay attention to the small things that overall make up the bigger picture and allow you to make such figures with 6-8psi less and on PULP.

Well its Sucrogen E85 - so not the E85 you or I would get from the pump, nor is it the same price (roughly $2.5/L IIRC)

Do you remember the Sucrogen rep/owner or whatever that came on here and blew up @ everyone a while back? lol... Cause it's the same mob if memory serves me correct. That was a good thread. I should try find it for lols.

First price I got from Tas was about $350 return.

That'd probably include a trip to syd and back, or do they fly direct from tas?

Not to mention that you'd also need to have no luggage, leave at 4am, have even smaller than normal seats, etc.

Hi there, got my car tuned today at Pits on the gold coast.

Mods as follows.

R32 GTR

RB26 bored, decked, cleaned, balanced and the crank ground.

Ross pistons, total seal rings, Spool Conrods.

Head is mildly ported, re-seated etc etc, Tomei 270 dur 10.8 lift cams, Brian Crower springs.

N1 oil pump, tomei oil restrictor.

1200cc injectors, 2 x 044 pumps, 3L surge tank.

Haltech E11v2

STD coils at this stage

115mm intercooler, chinese one i'd say, $400

70mm Billet turbo by Mark at Mr Turbo, Gold Coast

60mm wastegate, ebay cheapie.

4 inch exhaust all the way with 1 straight thru muffler.

twin plate OS clutch.

Tuned today on E85 from the pump, made 564 Hp on 26 psi, 528 hp on 23psi, and 501 on 20psi.:cheers:

Maxed out the injectors at 26 psi, looking at ID 2000's for the next tune. hopefully crack 600 which I don't think will be a problem.

So I went to the T and T last week and ran a best of 10.9 but at a whopping 138.5 MPH, needless to say they booted me out, but I was happy!!:action-smiley-069:

stock box ??

Yep stock box but it's not happy!

Had to be nice to it on the launch (if you call 7K nice) but getting into 3rd was a struggle, hit the limiter right on the 400m mark in 4th gear, Limited to 8300 rpm

Im looking to sell the car soon but would like to see 650ATW with Id2000's first, If anyone is looking for a good GTR it'll will be around $25,000 with new paint.

The car is well built and will be reliable, (apart from the g/box)

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
