Somebody is a railway Mech I thinks.... (right?)

This kind of thing is a pretty common sight for me. Not me in the photo, just a random interwebs pic.

Note right at the back of the motor there is a spare piston and rod. The engine casing is about 3 or 4 stories high...

Oh, its a Container ship motor. Heavy fuel oil.

Nice pics Paul; cubes+boost = WIN!:cheers:

I've been out of the game a while (used to build V16 2 stroke GM Diesels and a bit of Paxman stuff) Things look to have moved on a little! What make is that V20?

Yeah Alex, back in the rail for about a year now after a break doing allsorts of different things.

Things have moved on Dale I'm catching up now.The engine is German made by MTU 4.7 litres per cylinder 18:1 compression with 55 psi boost common rail injected 1800 rpm max. So in terms of a diesel they are a bit of a race engine.

Very nice; common rail and computer control was only becoming a reality in large engines as I was leaving that part of the industry. I did see some pretty interesting Turbo/superchargers with the GM stuff; but not those kind of boost numbers.

It was cool knowing the turbos I was balancing & building were turning at 80,000rpm with a 60 cm wide impeller. Some Napier turbo assemblies were 100,000+ rpm! All on a floating bearing too; no BB set ups.

What kind of power are they producing; I'm guessing in the 3000 odd HP bracket?

Yep pretty much on the button with the horsepower 2700 quoted.We still have a few GM power plants but phasing them out slowly, they have been great work horses.

Good stuff. Looking forward to what you've got in store for the Stagea.thumbsup.gif

Hopefully picking my car up from All Type Crash this afternoon.

Aero wing painted, Xanadu grille painted, detail including brush touch up all round. It's hard to know where to stop spending money on bodywork though - there is a very minor dent in the passenger door. I could get it pulled out, but I'll be forever freaking out about some tosser denting the door again. I always park at the opposite end of the car park or take the end park, but people always manage to get way too close still. :rolleyes:

Go and talk to your local Paintless dent removal specialist; ask them if they'll do a cash job if you remove all the trim from the door. A lot of the time it's just the gesture that they appreciate.thumbsup.gif

I had 3 small pin dents done by a great PDR guy in my area for $60.

I'd thought about this but apparently the good local guy has recently retired. Need to scout out someone decent I guess.

Rob from sinergy motorsports (adl) drive car [2005 axis/chocolate interior/v36 brakes] Thought it was pretty cool and I'd take some pics (havent seen a series 2 axis) .....don't know about the eyelids<BR><BR>post-41430-0-23872100-1321853747_thumb.jpg post-41430-0-03090400-1321853765_thumb.jpg

hmmm... wonder how he got that complied?

Looks good.

Still, wouldn't get any interior but black.

Northshore.... as a favour I hear (still cost them though).

EDIT: actually I think that was for a QLD based yard, but Northshore are offering compliance for other importers and have been for a few months now.

Oh and while I gotcha Alex, regardless of the instructions, you don't need to remove the rear water pipe when installing the kit.

Thanks Cam,

I think I saw it online in a QLD lot.

Thanks for the pro tip. That means the pathfinder cooling mod might just work then. How far through are you guys? before/after dyno? What did a GT-8 pull NA?

I agree black is nicer, Redicorp/pvp imports/sinergy motorsport in adelaide can comply m35's, they are on the raws list for m35s...i thought, god knows about 2005 axis model though :unsure:

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
