who the f**k said too much power? power was the same to within 5kw between our cars, his was all in by like 2000 RPM doe...

people underestimate just how much extra displacement that 0.5l is... it's 20%

For me I'll be simulating my litre motorbike, which just had oodles of power everywhere, but most importantly in the low and mid range where big bore short stroke engines usually suffer

And for that matter it's pretty much the same discussion as 600s versus 1000s - they both fast as each other when they are on song and most people can ride a 600 better than they can ride a 1000. But on the road, in traffic, in higher gears, that low end torque is blissfully awesome!

I'd also rather be able to boost in 4th and 5th at cruising RPMs

But yeah we'll see

An interesting dyno graph it will make

Old mate from facey pm'd me about that forged RB26...it's a brand new rebuild with receipts...could be tempted if it saves me a few grand on the RIPS VL. Will see what's wrong with current RB first.

Just put 20w/50 oil in and she'll be right.

receipts for the $350 pistons... great...

Tell Chris to check his emails!

Previous owner has had it running with the knocking, you've driven it with the knocking. High chance that the crank can't be salvaged. Sure, it could be... but theres definitely better odds that it won't be!

Guess I'm hoping for the chance it's something in the valve train like a bent valve or something.

Will also give a chance to suss out anything else I need to acquire, like a new head for example.

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
