Pulled the gearbox apart and what a mess! That's what 'clicking 3rd' with hot 295 AO50's will do to a 33 gearbox!  With some bits purchased from another donor box and help from Donny at For

Clean and up in the air. Final bits of work required to hit the track in November.

Wow. Yeah it has been a long time since an update in this thread. It's been laid up for a while. Sitting on stands and collecting dust. The last 2 years of my life has been a case of home renovation

Weren't you running 265 on those 34 gtr rims with no guard mods ben??

Yes, but with just the mildest of guard mods, a simply rolling was all it took. You saw it and know I speaketh the truth. lol

I've had a change of heart with my car. As I want to do some more tarmac rallies in it now that I can run it in Classic Adelaide, and with that I'm precluded from altering the bodywork.

So I'm going to simply leave the rear as it is, and bolt GTR front gaurds/indicators on the front, use a 20mm spacer to widen the front track, and run 34R wheels with the 265 Advan.

Then it's a simple matter to change it back to Tarmac rally spec just by swapping over to original gaurds and removing the spacer.

Will be good to see you driving mate. What time are you aiming for at EC?

I'll be stoked with a sub 2:00......

To be honest though, I may not make it to compete, I need to turn the car around (de-mod etc) and have it back in Adelaide 3 weeks afterward for a tarmac rally..... could be stretching it on my budget and timeframe. Brisbane is miles from Adelaide! lol

Matt from ACE Workshop has been making me a custom exhaust.

It will be a 3.5in system from just after the turbo. It will have the wastegate vented to atmo but will also have a removable recirc pipe if I need to plumb it in.

Here's a pic of it happening.

Another problem we encountered was that the injectors we used came with washers/spacers that didn't suit the plenum. ACE Workshop fabricated new ones and it now sits in perfectly :)

Good work on the guards there Russ, they look great. Are you going to give the beast a lick of paint prior to SL or run it in drift spec?

Lol Russ...good work so far mate and I look forward to racing against it on the track (someone has to keep you honest)

You might even find it harder to catch me now

Hahaha you're a good unit Russ :D While I was able to catch you and raise the bar to give you something to aim at last year (after all its nice to have goals isn't it :P) with the extent you are going to with this build, i'm sure the story will be different once our cars are finished. No matter the car there is a big diff between a purpose built, stripped track weapon like yours and a full fat streeter like mine. Give it a couple more years when my kids are old enough to be sitting in a passenger seat, I'll go to town on the R, and it will be ON ;)

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      UniClutch

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
