Fuuuuuck, cars on the trailer ready to go. Had some 'issues' with fitting the R33 GT-R wheels on the front as they just knicked the strut *ffs*

Anyone coming out to Mallala tomorrow that could bring out a pair of bolt on spacers I could maybe borrow for the day?

I possiably have a mate that is going home to try n swap his bolt ons with a slip on to make sure all clearances but just covering all bases!

Love you all - hahaha

Thats why i run 27mm bolt ons on the front of the ceffy. Rubs on the strut like a bitch.

Heyas

Well a few of u guys know that I've been having "issues" with my gtr for the last year or so

figured out it was due to incorrectly set factory TDC value on the cams, which had been hacked in the ecu to get it to run right (thanks Century20...asshats)

heres a rundown of the last few months

Firstly, Car had std everything, was pulling 210kw at 14psi when i bought it, which was normal. after a couple of years the stock injectors started to leak, and that forced me to buy new ones, so I figured a cheap upgrade would be worthwhile - 575cc upgrade was cheaper than 444cc, however this necessitated a retune and for a retune to be possible, a nistune daughterboard was required.

Before I had the nistune, my mechanic reduced the fuel rail pressure to lean out the flow so it wasnt running so rich which was great. I got some economy but it was still running too rich to get decent power... this did 180kw but it was running stupendously rich - this is the tune I went away to loxton on, dion and krishy can attest that i was blowing tonnes of soot out the rear end

Then I got the nistune daughterboard installed and took the car to boostworx for a tune, shaun's standard gtr image was loaded and adjusted for the bigger injectors and the nismo afm's id installed the day before. he said that he felt the cam timing was out, perhaps by a tooth... best he could manage was 130kw

took the car to road & track, they took off the head and discovered that the TDC marking on the cams were between 3 and 5' out and that the previous ECU tune (before nistune) was set to compensate for this - so the current tune isnt quite right - the timing shaun had to adjust to fix the prior poor cam timing needs to get retuned to stock, and im fitting N1's within the next fortnight, so that would also require a remap - in short won't be getting a retune at boostworx till everythings mechanically sorted however I'm back to similar power levels as before and the response is shithouse, loads of flat spots in the power curve - in spite of that, i can hear the turbos spooling up MUCH quicker than before which is always a good sign - in either case, the adjustments to the cam setup at road and track got me back to 180kw while running rich - we're going to fit the n1's and see how the fuel map scales from 0-20 psi as opposed to 0-14psi

to break it down

2007 - bought gtr, 14psi = 210kw

2009 - dynoed after injector replacement, 180kw (put down to rich mix)

2010 - after nistune, 130kw put down to totally munted timing and enrichment map

- cam timing reverted mechanically, 180kw at 10psi with same tune as above

- estimated 210/220kw on stock turbos at 13/14psi (wont bother with this)

- estimated 300kw on N1 turbos at 20psi with correct ignition timing and correct fuel map

more info to come as i mod the bugger

-D

LOL Weez.....you're gonna give yourself a coronary (not a canary) before you get out there................breath in, breath out :)

I just about did last night haha :P

Day went well and car didn't miss a beat all day long!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
