So are you going to bring it to Texi in June?

And some of these expensive batteries, all it takes is one full drain to kill 'em. I had the same thing happen to my Red Top. Next time I'm just getting a big sealed unit from Big-W. Cheaper in the end even if I have to replace it every two years.

My current battery I bought one a UPS sealed jobbie off a guy here on the forums. Not bad, but could use a bit more current.

Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

this is the website/ebay place I got it from

http://stores.ebay.com.au/ALL-PURPOSE-BATTERIES-ONLINE/12-volt-batteries-/_i.html?_fsub=134846119&_sid=230461229&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

they have actual store in Smeaton grange, go to the lithium batteries section in the left column, super start or ultra lite

the one I have I have let go dead 4-5 times now, I keep forgetting to undo the isolation connection on the terminal, charged it and take car for a drive and it's still working

and I most certainly want a ride in this monster :D

Talking to Yavuz today. He wants to try and squeeze 500 out of this setup. Airbox in place. He reckons there is a little left in it. Lets see how the little Turk goes. I don't think it'll get there

You may have to run this engine in operating hours

The amount of fuel Yavuz uses I'm sure it's safe. I have always said " I don't want it unless I can belt it around a track". It's not a one run screamer! That 472 is only after 9 runs from a totally new ECU. It's hardly "the finished product".

I Don't see why it won't be capable of 500rwkw

I had 1 2860r-5 on my sr and it made 251rwkw at Unigroup on 21psi dropping to 19psi and he thought itll make more power on more boost

SR versions are different to RB26 versions. We have a smaller rear housing.

I simply fail to understand this? 472rwkw is a sh!t load already.

Stop wasting time with the dyno, spend the money on new tyres, battery, diff or whatever it is that you need to drive it and enjoy it Paul!

are the v-spec and non v-spec diffs the same width ?, I thought not cause I was expecting to change the CVs as well but I could be wrong

Some guys you need shafts, others say you don't. I'm a little confused myself.

When I get the housing and diff centre (this week hopefully) ill take it to Award and plonk it on the table.

You shouldn't need to do shafts, the diffs are same width hub to hub and the shafts are the same length.

Just finished sorting out A-LSD delete in a mates 33gtst using a non vspec gtr diff so had everything there to compare.

The sperm whale got strapped to the rollers tonight. Light load tuning of the E85 tune then Yavuz worked his way down to PULP. Final figure on PULP was 425 at 23 psi top end (25 early on). It was making close to 435 but he backed it off. Final cold start on 98 tomorrow, drain tank and one or two more runs on E85. Yavuz brought back the tune on E85 a bee's dick just to make sure it's a happy camper. He said around 460 it should make.

Pick up is tomorrow :D.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
