I wonder what Cliff is up to now..... running a muck on the mean streets of Lisboa I am guessing, he did learn from the best on that trip.

I still have a bit to do looking forward to getting back working on it. I am just going to hook up the Defi guages I have for monitoring for now - its a bit street racer but hey it tells me when things are good / bad and the buzzers will get my attention.

Also need to sort brakes out, finish off a few things, and have also somewhat overlooked managing heat so want to do some stuff with that.

I was quite tempted by an S6 RX7 roller that came up recently, not sure why but always loved the look of those things.

Picked the car up yesterday. Unfortunately I wasn't able to drive it due to a leaky brake line I grabbed from wreckers as a temporary measure.

Dyno chart shows normal tune (032) and against the final tune (039) after backing it off a bit for the track.

The final tune against boost. Still sitting slightly under 20psi so the motor is definitely a good thing for what it is making on 98. Chris said the way it ramps onto boost is ideal as well rather than an initial spike which engines don't like.

Just another gratuitous shot.

Hey Paul

she looks fantastic mate. She is almost like a twin to my beast. I am still waiting on the new motor for mine. No idea where its at as the crank shaft was delayed.

330kW looks great. my other engine was running 309kW before it popped. I thought 309 was awesome power......

We will have to meet up at a track day in melbourne when I get my engine back.

Cheers Evan for sure! Replaced the leaky brake line yesterday and took it for the maiden voyage - temp permit all legal of course. Lot's of fun up to 80km/h - looking forward to giving it a hiding on the track that's for sure.

Super fun happy time!!!!!!! :action-smiley-069:

Where rotors at..........?????? Size...

So so so keen to see this in the flesh Paul

Ha! I have about 5 pairs of ex v8 supercar rotors waiting in the wings from before this damn car of the future stuff where they changed the diameter to ~395mm.

They are 375mm x 36mm when new - you could get them down here second hand for ~$200-$300 / pair but supply has dried up (I took everything they had left!). I have a few pairs that are virtually brand new with half a mm of wear - from test days or something.

I already have the working setup on my 34, just need to get new hats and dog bones made up. Before I do that I am going to swap the setup over, but using these calipers and make sure it all works happily before we go getting drawings made up and CNC machines out.

What brakes are coming off the car?

Just a pair of stocky Sumitomo's on loan with makeshift brake lines!

Rears are standard as well at the moment but recently rebuilt with good pads, slotted rotors and lines, they may stay put as silly as they look. My advisers tell me that they may do the job better than an aftermarket kit so I am out to test that notion.

What a fantastic build! I'm loving your attention to detail :-). I'm doing a 32gtr build myself. I'm wondering what oil pump you are using in the engine build? Cheers

Cheers. It's a tomei oil pump but Racepace modify it a bit to get the right oil pressure for the build.

    • 99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.
    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
    • Throw between gears are so much that is getting annoying. I have pro short shifter on my mx5 and e36 and love it . Skyline is getting unbearable    would syncro issues and short shifter is no no? Anyone mind explaining a little on why before i buy cube
    • No. Well, some people "seem to use redline shockproof in the diff". Most do not. I would only contemplate it if you have badly worn CW&P gears. And no. No-one in their right mind has ever put ATF into a diff. Any normal diff/gear oil of the right viscosity will do. Whatever takes your fancy. Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, Redline MT range. Whatever. It's just gears. 75W-90 or 80W-90 is typical. I think that GL-5 is hard to avoid these days, although I think that a GL-4 is probably preferred, given the vintage of the equipment. At least Redline offer a number of GL-4 oils. If you have a clutch type LSD instead of the VLSD, then of course you need a proper LSD oil. Anything from any of the same names above. If you have a helical LSD, then it does not require LSD oil, and the recco is the same as for the VLSD. You don't want the LSD friction modifiers in the oil for a non-clutch type LSD if you can avoid it.  
    • You may want to list it up for a little higher - This price is much lower than you may realize. Here you're pretty much selling to people who most likely already have these things on their own rigs. S chassis people eat this stuff up like you'd not believe.
