Just something silly to keep you amused until i update this thread properly with what is/will be new........ :woot:

Nice 34 mate! Just checked out the Ringwood vids - my 3076 setup on E85 makes 300rwkw by 5.5k rpm - getting it to the ground in 1st or 2nd is practically impossible - that's probably what it looks like when I take off hard! ;-)

I was going to go the ethanol sensor / flex fuel route, but the E85 from Caltex here in Adelaide has been consistent all year round so far, and with the wideband it doesn't seem all that necessary. How has it been working for you?

How much have you spent all up do you reckon (if you don't mind me asking)?

Thanks :) 5500rpm? That is pretty laggy.... Are you sure?

The Sensor is great as the car is full flex fuel so i can use 98, E85 and anything inbetween....

Spent? Basically 3 years of everything i had spare lol.... No idea but its a lot!

Its certainly thinking outside the box, I've personally never seen it tried on an RB25, but I'm sure the results will be spectacular :D

Hmmmm have you got a DIY thread on how to do this? I see gains to be had :P

Actually while I'm in here...

Hey Mat. UPDATES!! I know you're keeping secrets! :domokun:

Updates will be coming soon! Its getting the tune finally done with the bigger injectors :yes:

300kw by 5,500rpm laggy? Or are you just kidding? Lol. :P

The dyno sheet you posted (page 30 I think?) shows you are (or were) only just making over 300 at those revs - and I still have factory manifolds and a low mount internal wastegate turbo...! There's also a restriction somewhere, as it hits 300 and then just holds to redline on 18psi - adding more boost just makes the intake temps soar and the power drop. Theories are either the non-split dump pipe or the internally gated exhaust housing... Not really keen on spending any more money to find out though - the only time I can really open her up is when I head up into the hills anyway, it is a daily driver after all. Trying to get the power down now around town is just about impossible (as you'd know well) - There's a reason why GTRs exist... heh. 3rd flat out is an awesome feeling, but you're in serious loss of license territory by then! ;)

Your car sounds exactly the same as mine, but then again I suppose it should since it's the same turbo! And it sounds freaking tough by the way. :yes: Anyone that knows Skylines would know it's not stock.

I went with the Haltech P2000 as well - awesome ECU. People freak out when I show them what you can do with a laptop. It's amazing how many people have no idea what's going on behind the scenes with modern fuel injection.

I'm thinking of moving interstate this year and will probably need to get rid of the car (booo!), so I actually added up all my receipts the other night - imported the car 100% stock in 2007 for $23k complied, and my receipts for all mods (including wheels but not tyres or servicing) came out to around $27k. Not as bad as I imagined really... over 6 years it doesn't seem that bad. Oh, if anyone's interested in one of these toys pm me, I'd probably be 'happy' to part with it in the low $20k range... :sleep:

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
