How is it all going Steve? Have you got the new exhuast one yet?

Mine is going E85. I need to speak to Yavuz in regards to injectors and the power FC. I dont really want to change the ECU but I want to be confident that the FC can handle the massive injectors at idle and what not. 2 bar here we come!

Mines going ok, the guy making the exhaust has had so much stuff come up there's been no progress yet so the GTR has basically been sitting around still on the 455kw tune. I've driven it a tiny bit but only backstreets etc no macpass or nasho trips yet

ID2000's are seriously the best injectors. The throttle control they've got compared to the old 1000's and even some big brand injectors is just awesome. Downside is the cost, but that's what big power costs I guess haha

I think I saw you the other night, I was at TC Brothers and a super clean r33 went past, it was Thursday around 9pm or so

The great thing about Yavuz is that he never pushes too hard. I've told him to push it as far as he can for the next tune cause its on e85 he may aswel. Did your intercooler arrive yet?

Oh also the rb26 injector plugs didn't fit, so 2JZ ones went on. No biggie, I think it was $26 or so?!

The issue is the distance from the plug to the injector, not the actual face of the plug if that makes sense

My cooler has been sitting in my room for months. I am just so damn lazy to put it on. Definately was not me at TC Bro's. I went to wakefield and cracked both my front rotors. My car is up on stands... got its new rotors on but just waiting for pads to arrive to chuck them on.

As for the injectors. Cost? Pfft. The GT-R is the biggest money pit ever... Whats a little bit more. I got to (well want to) run a surge tank... but I might stick that under the car. Not too keen on having it in the boot.

Yavuz. Yeah his tunes are (well my current one) is rock solid. Never knocks or carry's on. This E85 tune I want to see what she makes. I will be getting a 98 tune done also. The E85 conversion is a bit of a comparison done for a Uni final assignment. So it should be good to get a DIRECT comparison between the 2 fuels on the same dyno, tuner, car. I dare say my exhaust is going to hold me back a tad. At it's smallest point it is 80 mm. We will see what happens.

On a side note. I did hear on the radio today that by next month Caltex will have 10 servo's in Sydney with E85. Thats tip top! I knew it was going to be by the end of the year.... but its handy with them being around so soon!

Any idea of when the exhaust will be ready?

Would love to see it at WSID one night.

if that is the case - it will be time for me to do the switch to e85, otherwise my fuel system is complete overkill for 98 (and a bit of a waste)!

i also run 3 x 044's like steve

Laziness hey, I know where you're coming from then haha! As soon as I get back from work ive got enough energy to eat then straight to bed

You know what comparison I found interesting when I was there? It had 1000's in it and on e85 was struggling to break 400rwkw. Eventually it did 403 by adding boost very cautiously just cause it was a dyno day. Injectors on 98 were at around half DC. As soon as the e85 went in the DC went to 99%! so much for an extra 30%, it just maxed out straight away! The ID's fixed the problem but my car at least destroys that theory of 30% more flow needed.

Let me know when you go to the track and I'll come along. I'm dying to drive it fast again

Exhaust? Id love to know. It's not a priority for the guy making it right now. Ive asked Yavuz to get the tps gear in so as soon as the exhaust is done I'll take it all to him to see just how far the motor can go with the stock port head.

End of the day the new motor for it is the real one that matters, this current one is fun for now though. I should have pics of the crank in 2 weeks time

To be honest I'm worried about the box breaking, otherwise I wouldve gone to wsid already. The situation as I see it is that it's going to run too fast and get booted for not having all their safety gear (which I'm sure was designed for 40 year old rotaries with 800hp and tubbed etc), I'll never fit that safety gear so I'm banned. Id rather do a few runs at the texi with a v box (whyever they're called), yes it's not as official as the wsid timeslip but I really would like to give the big motor a go at wsid and after that I'll happily not go back :/

Thats interesting with the injectors. I have read that "whatever you think is enough with E85... go the next size up".

Next time we go I'll def give you and Marko a yell. Although I would love to do EC. Wakefield espeically with the power that our cars make I find you spend too much time in the lower gears. It did feel great grabbing 4th at 8500 hauling arse down the main straight!

With the box. Be careful. I broke mine on the street with not a very hard shift at all. It was only 11,000 kms old. Was not impressed. Now I have a OS box to try and break. Knock on wood that does not happen!

Maybe we should all go on the same night and have 3 GTR's getting booted out 1 after another. haha

My fuel system is almost there then. I have 2 x 044s to feed the rail and a walbro in tank pump. E85 looks like the way to go, shame we wont get it at the pump for a while here in Tassie...

im in paul - wouldnt mind doing the 1/4 mile again as well...

see if i can better my previous run with 320awkw & did a 11.1sec

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
