Hello Thought I’d take time share with you my GTR. I’ve been a member on SAU since the early days – April 2002. Started on here as a young guy in my early 20’s – just sold my VP HSV and was lookin

With the gearbox and ECU now imminent - I'm thinking I might do the hot side at the same time.

I'm no expert in this area - so please excuse my ignorance.  I'm currently around 500kw at the wheels (2.7L, T76, Trust manifold, Trust dump, External gate etc). 

I would like to make a little more power - but have it come on earlier.  is that possible?

So my question - what setup do I want hot side to complainant the 2.7L / Albins? 

I appreciate feedback and any recommendations.

Thanks D

Thanks mate .... Im looking into it.

Time for a update.

Sadly - trying to buy the best box money could buy has turned out to be another drama.  Still don't have all the items I need to install the box - this is now just ridiculous.  Going on 8 months - and cant install the box they sent me as items are missing from the package that I PAID for !

Linkage bar, adapter to fit shifter and strain gauge all MIA. Abducted by aliens it appears ..

I have sat silent and said nothing this whole time - patiently waiting .. and nothing has happened...

I am so over this Albins box - and parties involved.  

Question I put to my fellow SAU'ers is this.

I have a buyer for my Albins - I can just move this box on and forget about the whole nightmare of trying to own an Albins - and order a Samsonas.  I spoke with them yesterday - they were sympathetic to my situation and were keen to help - but I'm looking at 5 months wait (which for some reason doesn't even seem that bad considering how long I have waited for the Albins).

Let this be a lesson to anyone looking to buy a new sequential - don't make my mistake.  

Is really a shame what has become of this - you spend top dollar expecting the best product, service, etc - and just get nothing.  

What you think boys - wait it out - or f*ckem and move onto Samsonas?

Opinions?

Dan

That sucks man. Are you dealing with Albins direct or have you gone through a supplier ? Every man and their dog is running an Albins in the offroader buggies here and can't stress how good their parts support is.

Obviously I don't know their finer details, but personally I would stick with them as I personally can't make peace with dealing with overseas transmission supplier anymore and you might find yourself in a similar situation.

That said, have you considered the current Quaife sequential supplied by Tim at SVS in the UK if all goes to shit ? I'm not aware of anyone using one in Oz and could be another option ?

      There's more than one way to skin that cat, and most of the sump Maatouks have done will be GTR sumps. They are HUGE in GTR drag racing here.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah...I always start at the shift solenoids, because there's only a few reasons these will spook into limp mode, and bad shift solenoids is one ~ the other can be the shift control module (if you have steering wheel shift buttons)...it's easier to eliminate the solenoids first.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By cabramatta · Posted

      Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅

      That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.
