new update! no stall convertor as of yet, but today i was luckily enough to be an invited guest at the holden hsv club drag day, i made it too the 2nd last round of the street car class and broke out of my 13.5 nominated time and managed a [email protected], now i dont know where that came from as i only had crappy 15inch stocko tyres and even worse no name rubber as i was really only there to do big burnouts! which i did many times over i must add. The interesting thing is there was lots of wheel spin and an earlier run in the day gave me 108mph overl the line so maybe there is a 13.2-13.0 somewhere in the car yet without the stall convertor :)

it can't be street registered

why not? the only reason i can see for it not being able to be registered is that he has probably used and engine that is onlder than the car.....get a GENIII, problem solved.......oh.....one other reason, maybe he bought the car in for motorsport purposes, in which case it can never be reassigned as a street car.

its to do with engine size and all of that the capacities of the engine and its not to do with age cause johns engine is a 91 and the car is a 94....

Also depends on state.

In SA from memory the largest engine you can have in a R32 for example is a 4.5ltr.

Turbo.. The largest is a 2.6ltr.

Its got to do with the weight of the car.

There is a calculation some where on SAU. I can't remember which thread though as it was some time ago.

yeah, thats what i mean...if it is a 94 car, then the oldest engine he can have is a 94.....the engine must be same or newer.

I still think its possible, ill check some things and get back to ya.......

is it a gtr shell or a gts-t?

Also depends on state.
I realise it varies from state to state, but as cLoWn, the guy with the v8 r33 and I are all in QLD its kinda irrelevant. ;)

johns car hasn't got a newer or same age engine the engine is 3 years older than the car so i can't see how age works! and its a gtst body and they guy shane the guy said he can't get it registered just because of power to weight and engine capacity

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      By Rezz · Posted

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
