Ahh good to see more info. Thats certainly pretty impressive and a bit reassuring so long as the machine shop does their part(I have alot of faith in them so I think I'll be ok)

Much more authentic ;) lol

Although, I will say, for this level of build I would personally opt for a PWR radiator with built in engine oil cooler. It's much neater to plumb, weighs less, cools FAR more efficiently, warms the oil better, and is neater and easier to work around. Did I mention it's better?

Actually I am ditching the radiator(Recent development) and Instead using a combo tank with a 5 gallon water tank and 1 gallon fuel tank and a Meziere electric water pump. As for the oil cooler I will have about 12 quarts of oil in my system so i'll have to see how the temperature is maintained with that much oil.

Ahh ok, cool. Lots of weight saved with that setup.

Since it is evidently going to be quite a serious drag car, you could really just ditch oil cooling altogether, with a large-ish capacity dry sump system you'll have more trouble getting it up to temp (get a tank heater) than keeping it cool.

Yeah thats what I was worried about when I started adding up all the oil that was gonna be in the system. The tank itself is just 8 quarts but when you take into account the filter and all that line and the cooler it adds up fast. I've got one of those tank heaters so we'll see. As for the radiator switch its more of a weight shift than weight savings. A five gallon tank is quite large and half filled with Ice will be easily as heavy as the radiator plus fans but it will be in the rear end where I really need the weight vs the front were I'm already nose heavy.

I did get an email back from Paul at Red R Racing and he also confirmed that he had made 1350hp on a prepped stock and had spun them to just over 11k so apparently I should be fine.

I would love to see the dyno sheet for this, see if he will give you a copy and post it up

wasn't it the mercury Motorsport r34 gtr "nitto" that went something like 1087awhp? thats probs around 1300 at the crank... was built by this "paul" Red R Racing guy...... ppl seem to be quick to flame..

EDIT: http://www.skylinesa...uise-dyno-comp/

and im pretty sure it has made more then that...

EDIT: I NOW FEEL LIKE A DICKHEAD....2.7L :( hahahaha

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
