Morning Mangs,

Accomodation booked for GP weekend :). I am excite.

cool. they seem to be making a good name for themselves.

will have to take me for a ride when you do get it. curious to see how it feels compared to my old high flow.

Yeah NP, will be a little while yet though...

Slept funny on my neck. Gonna be one of those days.

That's what she said.

Morning Mangs,

My oil cooler came yesterday I think I got short changed on the hose lol but ahwell only got like 2 pieces 30cm long. But it has a shitload of earls fittings with it. BDO this weekend though so won't have a chance to fit it.

Yay for lots of earls fittings. Not yay for no hose :(

Work is doing a two week site release to help with the Flood cleanup so I'll be doing that for two weeks, should be interesting.

Good stuff. Im aiming to head out again Sunday (sat is dad's birthday).

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

That's what she said.

damn braided line has to be the most pricey stuff around, although i seen how much braided teflon hose was the other day... I won't complain about normal braided line

Ravi, who you going with? Will have to meet up on the day :cheers:

Me, the ms and another friend. Driving down lunch time, heading home after Tool. Not a big one for any of us, poor bastards hahaha. And yeah definately... who are you hanging out to see?

Moaning all.

MOANING

i need to poop badly...

Try eating my 'blow-your-balls-off- vindaloo that I made last night THEN tell me that...

When would you use braided teflon lines?

Edited by mosquitocoils

Tool, Rammstein, Deftones mang. We've got accomodation for the Sunday night so should be sick. Braided teflon hose = fuel lines. Don't get the fuel smell in the cabin as bad then when you're running a couple of external pumps + surge tank etc.

anybody got a trolley jack i can borrow/use?

need to jack the back of the car up to bolt the cage inside the wheel arches.

I have a low lift one you can borrow but I'd need it back by the weekend at the latest... and its a long trip for you.

Or I have a crappy repco one that you could borrow, still a long trip but you wouldnt need to return it so soon.

Can I interest you in a game of indoor cricket @ toombul, 5:50PM?

@Ravi, you wouldn't happen to play cricket would you?

I am out at our Zillmere office today and tomorrow, so not that far a drive.

Toombul, would need to go home grab a change of clothes, shoes etc then come back out. Wouldn't be able to do it by 5:50.

Not really man... don't mind the odd hit when half smashed with some mates in a backyard, but that's about my limit hahaha

Well, I'm not home till after cricket tonight (7:30), and I don't have either of them with me. But if you want to come after that no problem.

Otherwise, if you like I can load one of them in and bring it with me tomorrow, I'm about 5 minutes from Zillmere. But if you want the low lift you'll still need to work out a way to get it back to me by the weekend. Thurs night perhaps?

I have trolley jack one over this side of the river, no weekend time limit on this one.

Awesome. Am I able to borrow it this arvo, or tomorrow arvo?

Send me a text 0403 437 653 and I will grab the rest of your details

All good, Jeremy delivered. :D

I will hopefully be out at stones on thursday, unless it's raining, as I don't think I will have figured out my sunroof dillema by then.

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
