Just picked up my car today, Marulan is going to be so much fun with the new found power... Wow... :D

Hope I can avoid spins like mentioned above :)

If you have a boost controller you might want to turn it down. 1.5 BAR is a lot especially if you haven't gotten use to the power level.

My first outing in my GTR at about 280 AWKW I found that when you go in too hot / let off / blow offs kick all boost down / compression breaking kicks in violently + unsettled weight balance on the car = spin off the track. It's only recently that I find myself faster on high boost rather than just 1 BAR.

360 is a heck of a lot of power in a RWD car. Take it easy and learn to be smooth first, then apply the power. Of course you'll shoot down the straight like a bat outta hell!

Haha thanks guys (pezhead, fatz) the car is currently at 325-330 and is nuts... If I have to plumb back the gate I reckon the power will be 320ish and the tyres will be MUCH better so should be ok :)

Yea they will have to stuff a tree up my race cars exhaust to get it under theRe limit

Butt plugs all round eh? Lol....

What are you guys planning? Staying down that way etc?

I would plumb it back in for this track.

There is a noise limit at the track, and if they find themselves over, they pull the offending cars and find ways to quieten them down (As mentioned earlier)

Not running a screamer will help you immediately.

Yea myself and davo74 have a room with a extra bed if you like booze and cuddles

:blink:

Yeah the screamer is stupidly loud, it sounds awesome.... Buts its been designed as a 10min job to flip it back to plumbed back, quite clever!

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
