So Tonkins don't recommend alloy ones at all. I brought it up a few times and every time he just told me to replace it with a standard one. His main argument is that they cost lots of money and if they leak they can't repair them.

FYI: Koyo V2588 from Street to Track for $545 delivered, Mishimoto MMRAD-G35-03 $475 delivered.

Still not sure what to do!

Umm, have they heard of welding?

Your cars white, it doesnt show the dirt like a dark colour. Mine had gone probably 2 months without a wash :ninja:

I guess aiming for around 8am? Far too early for a Saturday. Given they wanted to run all the AWD's first, and theres still a few gaps early on - Id suggest we may get bumped 'earlier' to fill those gaps.

8am is way early, i'll have to leave the dirty south before 7 am!!!! on a saturday!!!! GAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

But a new plan is forming..... finish work at midnight, drive to gillman, sleep in stagea, make noise on dyno, laugh at pitiful power figuresthumbsup.gif

A crap alloy radiator is worse than the stock one apparently, they must be multiple pass for the higher cooling effect to be considered an upgrade.

I think they are saying if the fins leak they cant braze them whereas the stock one can be?

V35 Koyo rad ordered. Taking suggestions on trans coolers. Is it worth getting one with a thermostat so the oil warms quickly on the cold mornings?

Does your new radiator have a section to cool the transmission like the stock one?

If it does when you install the trans cooler just make sure it is still using this part of the radiator before going into your transcooler and the engine will warm the trans oil.

Nope, very few of the options do unfortunately.

fitted my z32 and nistune tonight, havent started it yet as its like mid night and my wife is sleeping. hopefully it runs in the morning as i need it. does anyone know if i have to remove the plennum to change the injectors?

SAUSA Dyno Day today, made 161kW and 566NM at 15PSI. Stock bar the exhaust and Blitz panel filter.

Then sold the Pimptara while I was half way through cleaning it! Score! Sold for a bit less than I wanted but rego was due tomorrow. Oh well.

Gotta be happy with that, hey.:thumbsup: . And I mean both bits of news.

Happier with the torque tbh. Already planning more mods! MOAR POWAH!!! As for the Pimptara, not really happy about it. Grew very attached to that car, lost heaps on it, and the guy who bought it was a bit of a dropkick.

Got the Emanage Thursday, so by the next dyno day should have a bit more.

What was interesting was I made more torque and had more boost than Dunc with his highflow, intercooler, etc, but I was down 16 (I think?) kW.

That torque isn't correct. That's tractive effort not engine crank torque.

A very good power result none the less.

Is it all wheel kw or rwkw?

We ran back to back, so I wouldve thought the torque readings would be comparable? Not my forte unfortunately.

I made 177.7 awkw though, it was an awd dyno. My AFR's are essentially a flat 10, boost peaks shy of 15psi. Things to work out :thumbsup:

They may be comparable on that day on that dyno but it's still not crank torque. It's tractive effort, being the effort it takes via the wheels to turn the rollers, this is different to a true crank torque. I would assume it would be mid 400 nm at crank at that power level given stock is 410nm. You simply won't gain over 150nm from an exhaust and filter.

What mods do you have for 177.7awkw? If you lean the mixture to a safe 12:1 you will see some extra power.

Well done, nice results.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
