Hi guys

Been meaning to do this for months now...better late than never so here goes...

I have always, well for as long as I can remember, loved the GT-R Skyline.

Previously I owned a couple of r32 gts-t Skylines and since selling my last one back in 2006 (link below) I have been waiting patiently…

Since selling the gts-t I knew a GT-R would be next and in March 2012 the 5 year + wait was over....

I wasn’t really looking when this one came up locally…but it was in the best factory colour (in my opinion) and had minimal mods from standard. Bolt on parts included:

  1. Suspension (Tein coilovers)
  2. Exhaust (5Zigen cat back)
  3. M’s intakes with K & N air filters
  4. Wheels (Rota 17 x 9’s)
  5. ECU (Mines upgraded)
  6. Steering wheel

That’s pretty much it. Standard gear really. As soon as I looked at the car I started mentally making a list of all the things I wanted to change/fix/upgrade mainly to make it as reliable as possible. Growing up around motors you quickly learn reliability is paramount!

Man did I open a MASSIVE can of worms!!!

I literally only drove 100 kms or so before parking her up and started getting stuck in. It’s been sitting on the hoist for going on 8 months now…

Lakeside Classic - July 26, 2015 None of this build would of been possible without the man sitting next to me. Endless hours spent together talking, planning, working. Forever thankful Dad.

Really wanted to do a complete 'before and after' shot of the engine bay but must have been to into it to remember to take a photo of the complete engine bay before I got stuck in....this is at the point when I remembered

Don't know where to start with motor upgrades, pics will probably tell the story best...stay tuned

Why replace the bov's? They are the same across all models? If yours aren't in good condition then sure, but if they work then why bother? Just clean them up and put em back on?

Yeah condition of them was below average and CBF'd dealing with them now or down the line so a fresh set of OEM's was the go

Subscribed, keen to watch your progress

Where bouts in Bris are you? North, South, East or West?

I'm out West if you're out this way and need a hand sometime with anything

Cheers Brett. I am North Bris mate but cheers for the offer....always good to have an extra set of hands. Yours has come a long way. Nice work.

what kind if a comment is that? If you dont like this thread, dont read it.

This forum is by far the worst I've seen, people always disrespecting each other.

Good stuff robbie, cant wait for more

Nicely said mate. Haters gonna hate.....haha

Cheers Ben. Stay tuned, will not disappoint!

Next stage, motor out. Ended up taking me a day or so. First time I'd done it and had heard it was not the best...

Ended up being not tooooo bad. Few times had to ask myself 'how the fk am I going to get to that?!'

And there were a few calls to the professional. The one metre extension bar was a life saver for the top 2 bell housing bolts.

The big unit onto the stand...

Decent amount of work to get to this stage. Plenty more to come, so much cleaning to do....faaarrrrkkkkkk!!

Well done man good to see another GTR getting the love it deserves. My engine took me 3 days to remove the first time although 8 hours of that was trying to split the gearbox from the motor (had no idea about the pull type clutch fork lol) But dont worry it gets better everytime you do it. Only took me 5 hours last time although i did cheat a bit and cut out the radiator support and leave the gearbox on.......

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
