You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

3.4l RB is the most I am aware of...

also a lot of the Ford guys running sub 11 Barra's are actually de-stroking to 3.6 / 3.7 odd due to vibration issues at high RPM

Destroking? What is this madness

Unrelated:

Today switched from 50,000km old KU31 235s on the front and nearly bald R1R 265s on the rear to AD08 255s and AD08R 265s respectively.

Wow what a transformation. Those tyres are unbelievably good value for the $220 each they cost me. So much corner grip it's ridiculous; just turns in so well with the 255s up front. And finally a set of road tyres that can hold my 2nd gear all the way through - time to break out the G-tech again Leigh :P

Mind you, those KU31 are an incredibly hard wearing tyre. Still 40% tread left on these. Awesome value for a daily driver not pushing too much power.

how the hell do you crack a fuel tank?

I honestly want to know, because I've split four tanks now.

Four!

From two different cars.

By now, I absolutely know the plumbing of the charcoal canister back to front.

You can't even find this shit on google. Seriously, look for "R34 cracked fuel tank" and behold the lack of .. anythings.

It's quite shit. Surely I have to be doing something wrong like pumping 30PSI into my fuel tank, but having checked the lines there's nothing there.

Looks like the crack is right up top though, so it only leaks when I'm at 100% fuel. It stops leaking and the gauge is still pinned to the top, so, gonna be filling up 75% until I buy a new tank from Nissan.

I've since disconnected the charcoal canister.

But seriously, ffs.

Birds my pain is real.

I'd assume your chassis is twisted due to all of the massive torques... hopefully its so twisted that a 33 tank will fit ;)

I'm just trying to get rid of it out of the garage, so take it and see, then it's your problem and not mine.

Looking at the pics here http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444306-r33-gtr-and-r33-gtst-fuel-tanks-the-same/

Looks to be very similar, though I can't remember which side some of the hoses run to. I swear they may be different but there's no way to know until the thing is out of the car. Which really needs a hoist.

If only there was a guy with a hoist who does things on the cheap...............

      Ball bearing turbos

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
