Haven't got it back yet. I've been garenteed to have it this friday, which i will make sure happens cause i've hired baskerville for the whole day this saturday. I'm just about sick of waiting though, was supposed to be done 2 months ago. Will post up results along with a detailed list of what been done to it as soon as i get the chance to.

Alrighty, Got her back yesterday. dont have the dyno sheets on me but i remember most the figures i think.

Firstly i'd like to mention cause she's got a stock slush box in it, i'm refering to the auto, we couldn't push it to much and we were getting consistant 175rwkw and we could of got a few more pounds of boost on but the gearbox won't handle any more power. So for the time being we've dropped it back to 165rwkw until i get around to putting a r33 manual box it. Mechanic has told me with a conversion and a retune we would get over 200 atw.\

I think i had about 75~78 rwkw before and about 200nm torque, she now has around 165rwkw and somewhere over 400nm torque.

like i mentioned above, its a stupid auto. will get around to that when i have money. dont have any pictures or the dyno sheets on me but i will get them to ya's as soon as i run out of money for fuel.

oh and the boost is coming on around 3000rpm when ya flick through the gears your self and a little later when in drive.

it is a little laggy for my liking but its also a good thing cause i can drive her around lightly when i dont want to attract attention.

will get more to ya's soon.

sounds good and well done for doing it differently. you might find it cheaper to tuffen up the std auto vs changin to manual? just a thought

also if its auto youll have auto diff gears, you can get some more response changing to 4.11 diff gears (manual)

the gear box is on its way out, i have a spare one but i have no idea on it's condition, when i booked it in we were going to put an lsd in it but i forgot to ask if that got done. guess i'll have to go do a road test and work that out. what costs are involved in making the auto tougher? im assuming the lsd would have manual diff gears but as i have no knowledge on that topic i am just assuming.

running about .8bar, which is about 12psi i think. engine has only just been rebuilt and i'm running it in as per my mechanics instructions.

will hopefully get some stuff up for ya's later on today, wont be able to get any decent pictures up for a bit cause i can't get under the car. tis very low.

any one who wants to have a look at it just drop me a pm, im in Tas (Hobart) so all my two headed cousin's can have a peek.

cheers

Finally got off my arse, here's the dyno sheets. Second one is just an enlarged pic of the before/after dyno.

Keep in mind she's got a tourque convertor and we had to tune it down due the the slush box being a shit box.

Now lets hope that works and you can all see.

Putting it up on the hoist tomorro so i'll try get some pics of the set up for ya's.

Sorry for making you all wait.

yeah i'm pretty happy with it.

Just sourced a manual lsd cheap so that should improve takeoff response i assume. Seeing as i have an auto diff.

And i've just been reading that a r33 auto box will fit into a 31. I'm seriously considering that if i can get it on the cheap seeing as i won't be able to afford a r33 manual conversion for sometime.

If anyone wants more info let me know and i should be able to get ya the answers, don't really feel like doing a full write just now. too lazy!

Have a search through the for sale section, there was an r33 auto in there with shift kit for $200 i think, they were also selling a higher stall converter seperate from memory, should be exactly what you need.

cheers, reading more i discovered that the box will fit really easily except the speedo wiring and plugs are different, however, the 31 speedo fits the 33 speedo housing which is good cause then my speedo reads correctly?

    • Speaking of diverting threads, my second ever NISMO purchase…. I think they look pretty classy and just wanted to share 😅   PS: 1st was the oil drain plug 😂  
    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
