Mate... Seriously. If you're going to edit your posts, at least grow some balls, be a man and stand up for the comments you made. If you didn't mean them, then say so.

Jesus. I thought I was talking to a mature adult. I guess not.

Gee.. Think it might have taken me a minute to type my reply???

Jesus mate, seriously... I can't believe you're trying to deny editing your post to remove this part:

Ive said it before - come to perth and come for a ride. Until then, shut up.

Your gutless cowardice astounds me.... Seriously. I would never have expected these kinds of pathetic shenanigans from you. You said it, grow some balls and say so.... don't deny it like a 4 year old.

Oh well. The beauty of the internet sad2.gif

funny thing is a few of you jumped in bagged ND4SPD before asking simple things like

where does boost come on

how high does it rev

its ok to make boost at 4k when you rev past 10 000..... 6000 rpm rev band is not - before someone says oh thats no good for the track - thats what gearboxes are for - shift down a gear.

his time was done on shitty worn dunlop tyres and with a completely full interior including stereo. done on pump fuel - hard to see how you can knock that.

www.antilag.com/features/gtr if your interested in a little more info

Time to post your ages as i think we are wasting time with young kids.

Try find a wild GTR that does more road time than ND4SPD before ppl bag it or ask John munro what its like as he has been in it.

Theres so many factors ppl dont take into account when talking drag times as my wifes GTR is only 270rwkw as the stock turbos wont go higher but it ran 12.0 @ 119.35MPH, the car was tuned on the same dyno as Jezzrr but ran near the same time,Why? 8300RPM side step of the line,Jezzrr has more respect for his GTRs than me.

I'm sorry, I appologise up front to anyone who thinks this post is about them personally, it's not. OK! :P

I simply don't understand why anyone would build a Skyline that can't be driven to its potential because "things might break". It makes no sense, why bother? :confused: Better to have less power that you can actually use, than more power that you can't. Better to build the WHOLE car to go fast, not just the engine. :( A 600 bhp engine is wasted in a 400 bhp chassis, with 200 bhp tyres and 150 bhp suspension. I am not going to go near the subject of a 100 bhp driver. :headspin:

Maybe it's just me, but a car is a PACKAGE and only as good as its weakest link. It doesn't matter how strong its strongest link is, the weak link will always be its downfall. :spew: It won't do the time if the tyres are crap, it won't do the time if the driver is not up to it, it won't make the speed if the gearbox or clutch dies, if the engine power band does not match the gearbox ratios, slow it is going to be, slower than it should be. :birdie:

End of rant :crazy:

Nah, it's just a tension relief thing. I am a bit stressed, we have 6 engines in pieces, 2 gearboxes it bits and 1 rear axle (inc diff) half finished. They are all waiting on SOMEONE to supply the stuff they promised weeks ago, stuff that has already been paid for in most cases. :headshot:

Time for a drink, I think :alcoholic

PS; How's the new engine coming along?

Any luck on working out how to make the standard box handle 400+rwkw? You think it would be worth getting the gears shotpleened and cryo'd so 3rd didn't strip as easy?

Engine is getting there now, pretty well only just got all the parts together for it

I haven't busted a GTST box yet (he said crossing fingers). So until I do, I am not stressing over it. When one of them lets go, I will buy a Pfitzner straight cut, dog engagement, close ratio, 5 speed gear set and stick that in. I haven't had any success in the past with "hardening up" gear sets, I reckon if they are too small, then they are TOO SMALL. Those RB25DET gearboxes are so heavy and a bugger to get out of an R32 with a RB31DET hanging onto the front of them, I only want to do it once. :wassup:

Gotta go, :( calling the US to chase up some missing pistons........... :flamed:

    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
    • Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
    • I'm not sure where you are, but United Terrey Hills has E85.
