in all seriousness trying to save money on fuel and other assorted things and having a GTR is a bit like wanking with sandpaper it can be done but it isnt the right way and the end result wont be as enjoyable as it should have been

Exactly.

That's why I think he should just buy a hektik Excel.

Think about how mad sick baller it could be!

bang on chromie wheel trims, exhaust with volume control, stereo system worth as much as his current car.

2K resale value.

mmmm yeah... touch me like that Uleh!

im not trying to get 600kms to a tank or something, im just trying to keep it the way it is,

when i bought the car it did 160kms to a tank dont know why but it did, after a service everything was better, my car has been on running on 0.7 bar since i bought it, im quite happy with everything and the way it runs, i wana learn more about the car before i want any more mods or power, ive never cut any corners with the car as that doesnt work in the long run, i just want it to be reliable and so far it hasnt let me down at all.

when im old and experienced enough as some of you are and have the money more mods will be done, but for now this is it.

afternoon

i see another day of solid whoring in here. to save me reading all the crap, did I miss much?

Cliffnotes:

f**kING LAWL

So off the phone with TPG. The resubmitted my application today so it will be another 3-5 days before internets is connected. Seriously they suck so much arse it's unbelievable. I am sick of being on hold with that shitty music and then talking to dumb f**king indians! GTFO!

haha whatever power it makes its sufficent for my needs, currently doin 350 to 400 a tank which is good enough, as long it stays like that im happy.
lol everyone wants different things out of thier cars,my cars street driven and response and fuel economy is more important to me then having 250kw is, il tune it the way i want since i am forking out so much on it, with stock turbos im quite happy with 0.9 bar of boost.

sense = none

even the cat knows you're wrong... :banana:

Lol at john, back in form again!

In other news, my parts clean-up i have found my alloy turbo intake pipe! mmmmmm dose!

John bringin the lolz.

@Adam. I don't see anything wrong with keeping it standard/ tuned to .9 bar while your still in uni/jobless. Plenty of time to modify :banana:

haha whatever power it makes its sufficent for my needs

yet you're taking it from 0.7 to 0.9 ?

Ummmmmm?

add to that, pushing the boost up higher...

Then why get things you didn't 'need' as you said the other day? That'll change it from what it is :)

when im old and experienced enough as some of you are and have the money more mods will be done

I'm sure the age and money will be no problem :banana:

but for now this is it.

famous. last. words.

the boost is being put upto 0.9 bar because after talking to Rick at EFI , he said theres f**k all difference between 0.7 and 0.9 bar, this is not going to affect fuel economy or reliability in anyway,it would be better for the car to be tuned and run at 0.9, things that i have have done that i didnt need were mainly because of the labour costs im saving on, i am doing a full service and Dan recommended the Gates Timing Belt kit, and i found cam gears brand new pretty cheap and a new water pump was put in as part of the the service being done, i saved alot of money on labour as most of the labour costs overlap each other,

as for the powerfc i got it because i felt the car was running a bit rich and could do with a tune and feel smoother than it is now after being in brandons car and why bother with nistune when i can get a powerfc for a good price,

as for the all the synchros and bearings, it would be a smarter choice to change all of them rather than just 4th gear so i dont have to worry about anything in the long term and have pretty much a brand new gearbox,

and experience is something that comes with age, ive grown up in a different car culture and different laws to here, i learn new things as everyday passes, i believe that is what helps build experience, and as far as money is concerned sure i can live off my parents all my life if i want but thats not what i plan on doing.

    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
