Was with the same club (Nissan Datsun Sports owners)...

My cams & club membership have both expired, so I'm probably going to join up with the maserati club when my radiator & oil cooler are fitted.

Cheers,

matt

Matt - which club are you with? I think a few of us will be there again May 30th with NDSOC.

The only minor hick-up which we're trying to sort out, is the car isn't starting consistantly. First we thought it was a battery issue, so replaced it with a bigger new battery. Helped but not much, so we think it could be a fuel issue related to the bosch pump... stay tuned.

Issue resolved - Thread Updated... see original post #1

MESHMESH:

RE: Boost threshold, I found when I went from a quality bleedvalve to electronic boost I actually found the car more laggy - just cant get it to come on like with that bloody blead valve.

RE my not incuding info on my different dyno graphs - that was because the only mod was a tune then re tune + EBC as stated in the post - "295 RWKW with standrd turbos/fuel system/internals" - speaks for itself i would have thought.

The last time I went out to Sandown, I found all the bumps & undulations on the main straight tended to upset the car under power which is bloody scarey at the top of 4th.

Hi Matt, we find Sandown is the only circuit we go to where you have to tune the suspension for the straight. We have to soften the spring rate, increase the ride height, decrease the shock settings on low frequency compression, increase the low frequency rebound damping and then stiffen up the anti roll bars to compensate. I have even tried removing the toe out from the rear and adding a bit of toe in for stability.

I don't know how much of this you can do, but just increasing the ride height 10 mm will help.

Any figures for your new torque output? I know the standard set-up allows for about 355Nm. Also, were the 2530's new or second hand? Who did the install and how long was your car off the road? What about a rough idea of the cost of install and turbo's? (ouch?) Im considering installing a similar set-up but maybe with some GT SS series twins.

    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
