Will be good to see some quick 32's around as well, give the R33 boys some competition

Hopefully power up plan stage 2 will commence shortly for mine, although 230rwkw will do me nicely for a RB20

reckon its great work to finally see alot of projects coming to completion, although as with all car stuff, I'm sure they are all a work in progress, good stuff :D

yeah joel i have a flywheel off the rb20, have a os tripple going in so its not needed, PM me if your interested

When finished i hope to have the power that these 33s have but with about 200kg less weight to move around

There will be a couple sleeper 300rwkw R32's 'idling' around adelaide soon also.. :D

 

Problem is I need a stock RB flywheel so Andrew can balance up the RB30.. Think I can find one.. No sir..

I've got one, I'll sell it to you for $5000 if they are that rare :wassup:

What a bunch of R32 floggs! Gotta be wankin yourselves! :thumbdwn:

Thanks for posting that up Matt, go the stock internals:)

Joel, get a twin plate NOW, and balance it complete - you will need it with all that RB30 torque:)

Twin plate = broken RB20 gearbox. :D

But you never know, depends how the prioritys work out if I come in to some more money. 1. Engine, 2. ECU, 3. Turbo, 4. Injectors or Clutch depending, my clutch should hold a decent amount when the front g/box oil seep is fixed.

I hope you don't mind Steve I borrowed your 9kw to add to my lawnmower. Grass won't be growing back for a few wks.

Hey I got ripped too! Lach used my 17psi tune not the 19psi one :) Gimme the 19psi tune you bastards, I need to exploit my strengths over you higher CR stockies hahaha :rofl:

But in all seriousness I agree with Lachlan, it's great to see so many 250-300+rwkw Skylines in Adelaide :) Makes it better for our more modestly power brethren, 'cause now potential traffic light opponents won't be too sure if they're about to get nailed or not :)

And now back to the thread....... talking about ME & MY STUFF :) j/k

I have to give a HUGE thanks to our very own Steve for setting up a damn fine deal! I now have ~35L of ELF LMS fuel in jerry cans sitting here ready for tuning, & then the Nats :D

ELF LMS is 102RON unleaded that was developed as control fuel for LeMans. A number of rally teams use the stuff too. The 102RON doesn't sound like a big deal but it sure packs a lot more oomph than it would seem!

Thanks to Steve I got in contact with Trent from Autobarn Mile End & he gave me 35L of LMS for the grand total of $0 Autobarn are now (or soon will be) selling LMS for ~$6.50L (35L x $6.50 ='s $227 for free - I'm happy:) ). My car will be sporting Autobarn Mile End sponsorship for the nats as a thankyou.

LMS is not cheap, but considering the gains, & how healthy it is for your engine, it's not a bad alternative to Nitrous. A couple of real world examples of how much extra grunt LMS can unlock:

Martin's HPI Soarer went from 288rwkw to 336rwkw from additional timing & boost all possible due to the LMS. The engine showed signs of less heat build up & NO sign of any detonation on the PFC.

The 10sec Morpowa Lancer was able to gain nearly 100kw via tuning on ELF LMS!

*Note* this was info from the engine builder.

The downside to ELF LMS (apart from cost - although not too bad as a once in a while drag/track day) is the massive headspins it was giving me while driving around town with it in the back of the Liberty!

I also have an Apexi wastegate actuator ready to go on. It came off an Apexi AX53B60 kit & although I don't know what bar it's rated at, I have found info from Apexi that confirms it is, "strengthening spring internal organs actuator", so if it doesn't fix my boost drop I can always have it surgically implanted to strengthen my organ :( Once again thanks to Steve for teeing up that deal (didn't cost a cent!)

Last but not least, I "MAY" have a deal on some R34 GT-R seats! Hopefully in ~2-3wks :D

Hey Matt, thanks, but dont thank me, seriously, thank the generosity of those guys who were willing to donate to a good cause.

Trent is a really nice bloke, loves imports, and fortuneately for us, gets the good gear in cos he actually knows what he is doing, unlike so many other auto parts shops around.

So when are you testing the ELF on the lawnmower, you will probably get another 10-15rw out of her yet.

:( Yeah Lach', Steve & I are just stuffing about, but keep the comparo' graphs coming mate, they're excellent.

Steve,

Very true re Trent (& Irish).

I hope you don't mind mate, but I swapped your 9kw for a Niki 650, pretty much a straight swap really :)

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
