and you missed the bit about the intima pads old timer lol

Haha sorry lad.

Yes was very impressed with the intima pads. I used the race pads. Didnt fade once. Could still push alot harder uner brakes but my rear diff was single pegging and would lock the inside rear wheel if the car wasnt perfectly straight

Epic. Man that goes to show a RB25 20g is a good thing, that's a good time.

reckon those intima race pads would be fail on the street for hard driving? Too hard on rotors? Poor cold performer?

I cant answer that 100% on the pads. I always do 1 or two warm up laps to get everything up to temp.

Yes td06 high mount external gate on e70 is a wicked combo. Got footage with go pro on back window but the front window was glary. Cant even see through it at all. Gaids

Makes it exciting. I loved the rush and excitement of RWD on the circuit and not caring if it got smashed up :)

VCT is now working on my gtst, i installed an adaptronic and its working brilliantly. Very inpressed with the Adaptronic ecu's.

yes, wish i didnt care about mine getting smashed up...could have a lot more fun

So not too hard tuning the Adaptronic then?...

Im setting mine up with dual maps and a dash switch to switch between fuels...

only problem is i am using the built in boost control and the map switching only does fuel/ignition...so my pulp map will just have to run at gate spring pressure..my first few laps at Wakie were on pulp @ 1 bar and I was just as quick anyway...though that has more to do with driver skill (or lack off :P) than power..i run it empty then switched and it feels soooooo much nicer on e85..haters don't know what they are missing out on..

When i drove to Goulburn I got 350kms (melb to other side of albury) and decided we should fill up with PULP...it took 47 litres :woot: not bad economy hey..I was quite amazed

So with still 15 litres or so of e85 still in the tank we were a bit concerned...but AFRs were almost perfect :yes:

slightly on the lean side but nothing to worry about , I have a feeling my petrol tune is on the rich side though...

On the way back I was on e85 again, we drove to Wodonga (just over 320kms) when it was nearly empty..i guess all the hills made a difference to fuel economy..I filled up with PULp, i think it was 55litres and now AFRs were slightly rich..but again nothing to worry about...

Speaking of hills, at one stage I climbed a Hill in 5th gear @ 1500rpm doing 50kms in roadworks..thats pretty impressive in my book,..

First I raced on the almost empty tank of pulp with a little e85 in it, Then I raced with full tank of e85 with a little pulp (maybe 10lts) in it, and never had any issues with AFRs to cause concern..

There really is no need for flex fuel sensors I believe, just safe tunes with some margin for error and make sure your tank is close to empty before you switch and as long as you have a wideband with gauge you cant really go wrong...Still, I would like a sensor though,,, ;)

All this I put down as testament to STATUS and his awesome tuning :thumbsup: I run full open loop and my cruise AFRS were spoton...

The car has had very little road tuning too, maybe 20-30mins he drove around with me..

...

Sorry went s bit off track there :blush:

All good man.

Shows how well these kando's are performing. And according to your avatar theyre great for rallying aswell :D

Honestly i was extremely impressed with the performance of the td06.

Im going to start setting the car up for more

Circuit work.

Maybe we will see a Kando at WTA next year

I don't want to say too much, but I'm actually in quite a pickle. Mass problems at home with the Mrs shutting down my operation, I need to justify spending $3 at 7/11 these days. Cant even buy a freaking can of drink. Its stressful to a point I'm pretty depressed and all I want to do is enjoy my car. Its not that she doesnt want me to have one, she just cant understand the difference between buying a 10k car and building a 4k wreck into a 10k dream.

Such is the reason for all my indecisiveness and hold up on my usual nature.

At present I'm trying to sell my 6boost and DE motor, and am in talks with Stao about a cost effective stock position low mount. Hopefully the sale of my 6boost and DE motor can fund the majority of the remaining build, then its just one more argument so I can fork out for the tune.

LMAO my girl is generally pretty good man, she just doesn't understand the point of building the car rather than just using it as it was bought. I could be worse off! But this situation is weighing in heavily at the moment.

LOL ARTZ so true man. No don't waste money on your car, take me out for desert 4 nights a week instead and buy me gifts I don't appreciate. FUUUUU

man im getting depressed just reading that lol

Finally got around to putting my car back together just need to tee up a tune with trent... Keen to see if the billet wheel makes a difference, unfortunately it wont be a true back to back as I also added poncams.

Haha thanks for the sympathy battery, keen to see your new results too! I went poncams for my SR too, woo!

LOL Simon I wish my Mrs could see that keeping me busy makes me happy :( For her just living and spending every free moment together just isn't enough!

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
