I think people are worried you haven't tuned it properly, as popping usually means lean at wot. Running high boost without a decent tune is crazy obviously. Has it been tuned properly at that boost?

Street racing is looked down upon over here, as we have been brainwashed into thinking babies are killed every time we go 1km over the speed limit.

Yes, we must act our age (40-50), we dont race, we dont line up anyone, both myself and Scotty have lawn bowls hats in the back of our cars and drive super slowly in totaly stock 1.3L push rod Corollas.

We only believe in E85 because we are trying to save the planet. :yes:

Thats funny :D:D:lol::lol::lol:

Man I wont street race no more. Or let you know at least.;) It was popping ant no boost. It has to start moving first aye lol. But it so so great now. I tuned it yesterday at around 12psi. Ill break it in at that pulling 7600 rpms. Sorry but I cant run E85 over here but I do my part on helping out the environment. Like recycle cans and so forth. B)

As for the car the cams seem to work solid. It goes like crazy. Makes me want bigger cams. I was just concerned about my oil pressure. We have no winter over here so I might up the oil to a straight 40 weight full synthetic.

Well got news. I just crashed my gts4 its dead. :(

But the motor is fine so I just ordered a r32 gtr from japan. Just want to say thanks for all the help guys. I wasnt street racing. I got cut off by a ford f150 truck doing a illegal U turn. I guess it happens.

Yes. The oil pan got damaged thats about it. The guy was drinking at a local bar and tried to make a left u turn and took up the whole road. So my natural reaction was to swerve and I lost it went over the the bumps that separates the two lanes and couldn't steer no more and hit another car. The insurance is taking care of it all. And the guy in the truck took off. More than 8 people witnessed the event. Im so disappointed because I spent so much time on this car. I hope when my r32 gtr reach that it might make me feel better... thanks agian for all the help guys really. I have always used this site to learn and be a better skyline technician. R.I.P GTS4.

Thanks guys. After being down for many days I found another car. The car had the engine tear down and never put back together for ten years. It was stored away in a store room for ten years and never touched. Its a r32 gtr so ill just buy a new oil pan and install it. Then ill install the engine. I have a few questions.

1. Is the stock intercooler better than most ebay units like what I used on my gts4?

2. Whats the widest rims can fit a r32 gtr.

3. Any suggestions on the car as it will still be for drag racing.

Stock intercooler is good for over 400Kw

We just bought some 18 X 10.5 +15 and have rolled the guards, ive heard of some people going 11, not sure about how well they would fit without rubbing.

If your drag racing keep the stock wheels and get some M/T Et street rubber on them, if you like aftermarket wheels put something else on for daily street use and throw the M/T on for strip use.

Oil pan is not damaged to bad and ill take photos of it tomorrow. The fins are bent, and im wondering if race fab could repair it. ??

Probably someone local to you could repair it.

Real shame about your GTS4

Would you mind posting up some photos of your gtr with those wheels.

As for the oil pan I was supposed to take some photos which ill do in the morning. I do really like this r32 gtr because its so clean. Its a 100 times cleaner than the gts4. I will be using the gts4 feont and rear diff on the gtr. This is because ive heard that the ratio will be better for drag racing. I really dont know how true this is. But it felt really good when I was driving it.

the M/T et streets will fit on the stock GTR rims...we used 11.5" wide slicks... i'll upload a pic of them when i get home.

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
