Amazing work Ben, builds like this inspire me. Quick question, it appears you have a gloss finsh on the dash with the carbon fibre and a dry finsh with the centre console ( may just be the lighting ) Is there any tips to get the dry finsh ?

Cheers,

The pic must have been taken before we put the resin on it when it was sanded back, all of our carbon parts have had a clear coat of resin on them, not really sure how you would make it look like dry carbon.

Hi Guys,

Started the car today and had a few issues but eventually fired up. The Bloody Crank angle sensor shit itself so lucky mark had his old one from his GTR. Also had a Voltage drop on our injector supply and was only getting 9volts instead of 11.5volts and would not fire the injectors. Once the car was started we shut it down fairly quickly cause the V band clamp behind the turbo was leaking and we will buy a new clamp in the morning and chuck the car on the dyno. Here is a video enjoy!

are you going to put more boost into it?

also how did you run the motor in if its just been finished and put together?

i know with my motor they wanted me to do 2000 kms before having the full tune completed

Sorry guys had a miss print the end result for today was 800Hp at all 4 wheels @ 26-27psi @ 9000 rpm which approx 1000 flywheel hp, dyno sheet and videos will be put up as soon as i get home got a 12hr drive now yucky.gif, we ran the motor in on the dyno for about 50km on 98ron fuel than upped her.

50kms is enough time for everything to bed together?

Also from what I've read and been told by my own engine builder, you shouldnt run motors in on a dyno.

Not saying you dont know what your doing just going by my own experience.

There are a number of shops who do 50k's or so after a quick drive around the block to make sure of no leaks, then turn it up and give it back to the owner at full power :)

Mine was done like that, installed and started, check for leaks, 100k's of run in then booked for the dyno

yeah 2,000kms to run in before power tune is a waste of about 1,800kms in my opinion. but given I didn't build your engine you did the right thing in taking their advice.

also I dunno what's wrong with running in the engine on the dyno? it's fantastic. you don't have to go anywere, you can vary load and speed as you like. no time spent at red lights etc idling. no time spent on long constant speed and rpm sections of road, can run up to whatever speed you like, and since you are not driving you can keep a much better eye on the car temps etc. it's the best way to run it in in my opinion. but would get a bit expensive if you wanted to do 2,000kms of it!

well i was just going by what croydon told me to do,

they build heaps of motors and know there shit so i took there advice.

but yeh i guess everyone is different as to how they do things

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
