Thanks eric.

Not sure why you think my current radiator is going to blow up? I even got it pressure tested it yesterday and they said its perfect.

I have never had over heating issues either even with that fat 100mm intercooler in the way!

I don't think it will blow up - It's just every track day I got to, I see atleast one or two radiators (non aluminum) give out. More of a safe guard than anything to protect your efforts. Like I said earlier the car is great props.

well she got tuned today and made 398.3hp at all 4 hubs! very happy with it, especially since it was such a hot day today, the midrange has improved alot and the off boost driving is much smoother now, doesnt feel lazy under 3000rpm anymore!

Max torque is now 1000rpm later in the rev range and has increased to 480nm which is what i was aiming for. Max power is slightly shifted later aswell but only by a few hundred rpm. A pair of poncams would help but im going to stick with the stock cams till i have the dosh to get some angry cams in there, most probably when the motor decides to call it a day.

Adjusting the intake cam gear both ways didnt seem to help, it seemed to like it most at 0 but the exhaust got retarded by 2degrees and gained a tiny bit more up top.

Boost comes on at 1.3bar but bleeds down to 1.2bar where it makes max power.

Looking Good Snozzle. Keep your thread going as long as you can, because you most likely will continue with some mods, just like I have done & still going. It becomes a little addictive after a while. :yes:

You've put in some real effort into it.

I am running the Nismo AFM's with the stock airbox & snorkel & don't have any boost/spike problems.

I decided on the standard air box - mostly due to some of the cops here in Melbourne, VIC. :thumbsup:

However I am interested in putting a ARC Box in, some time in the future. I think that should be fine, as Victorian Cops like to see boxes, rather than pods.

I got some carbon fibre parts (Front grill, N1 bonnet lip, N1 Front Bar Slots & Nismo Pillar Garnish) in the mail last week & also got my Tomei S/S Dumps.

Only have to get the Tomei Extreme Manifold Kit, Split Fire Coils & HKS Cam Gears now.

Once I have put everything on & have painted my engine covers, I will post some pics.

Cheers

Thanks man. Yeah i definitely want to run a catch can even if i dont really do any track work but i cant seem to find any good catch tanks that will still retain my windscreen washer bottle.

Ive seen one that looks MINT on another gtr but i cant remember whos it was, it was chrome and had GTR embossed on it which was also polished.

Do you know where i could get a decent catch can setup that will actually work ? Ive kind of left the catch can thing to last as i want to do it once but properly as alot of the setups dont seem to be very effective...

I got Rips in NZ to make mine up..Not cheap but I still earn Japanese yen and got it made up when the Oz & NZ dollars were worth pesos during the GFC.

Yes! thats the exact one im after. Would these cost more than 500 bucks to get made up?

Im going to look into locally fabricating something like this, cheers Mark!

edit: sorry pete, i just realised u posted the link to the same thing already haha

Err these through RIPS are not cheap.

Quality of workmanship is exceptional !!

Like I said I took advantage of exchange rates during the GFC so ended up getting it a good price.

Flick Rob an email for a price.

Hi,

We do them slightly different to that now as we use weld on fittings to take braided or push lock hoses and they have different mounting tags but they are basicly the same (see pictures)

Exactly as it is in the pictures I can do for nzd795 incl shipping, if you want the GTR logo and polish add225.

Regards Rob

I think a JJR one for $249 will do just fine lol

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      By sonicii · Posted

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
