Da Bitch Is Back

I know we gonna need it.

But wires etc, i'm lucky. All mine (being R31) are not there etc. And the bay has a slightly different design.

But mine sit's VERY low. So i wont need to move the P/S stuff luckily. Just need to make a add-on to my haet shield that i've already got.

Gonna be good fun. How does it feel?

Nice and responsive?

I was very surprised how much low down torque it has. U can drive in heavy traffic changing at 3000-3500rpm and it feels like a stockish car, but more than half throttle near 4000rpm and the turbo come on nice and hard.

I havent had a chance to test it out properly yet, need to find a nice cough*private road*cough to open it out.

I had 1 print out of the dyno graph but it got wet and smugged on sat when i was moving some stuff from my car to the garage and i left the graph on the bonnet and it started to rain and it got farked up.

I had an etag sitting on the dash on the way back from the skidpad day yesterday, and merging off the the tulla freeway on the westgate freeway i went from 5th to 3rd and gave it a bit of curry upto 6000rpm and the etag flew straight between me and the misses and hit the back windscreen rather hard. I shat myself if it hit me or someone in the backseat in the face it would have left quite a bruise, so theres a few g's when the turbo gets on full song.

Looks hot Denham. I'll be taking my car down to ICE aswell for some upgrades, Gt3540 turbo, ext gate, injectors, rail, pump and power fc but I'll be utilising the standard exh. maninfold, aiming for similar power as to what you got. ;)

lol, it does fit I've had an adapter plate made up. I've trial fitted it and seems to be fine. sits nice and low, though I don't know how responsive it'll be. If it turns out crappy I'll just have to go for a custom high mount setup, and not be tight ass... ;)

A 3540 would be very laggy even with a proper manifold i recon, but it could push u over 400rwkw with cams, headwork etc.

    • This is a real nostalgia trip for me, I mean SK Bilsteins? I ran those lol Good times.  Good work Duncan, it's not an easy job in many respects. I'm sure the family appreciates it. 
    • It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!
    • Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.
    • Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.
    • It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
