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?

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 馃槃  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
