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 @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
