Drove it tonight, gave it a bit of a squirt on the new motor. Does feel strong, but haven't given it a beating yet as it's still the 1st batch of oil.

Will dump out the oil then drive it harder this weekend :)

Not a bad turbo, comes on (gate pressure) about 4000rpm, from the trace you can see 0.8bar of boost by 3600rpm. Mind you this was all in 2nd gear. No 3rd gear squirts yet hehehehe

@Piggaz told you I was going to give it not pussy it around!!

But does it dose?

not VL dose, but it is because running low boost and also has a stainless intake..will take the car and get some fab work soon ish :)

 

Haven't driven the car since but installed a modern head unit with bluetooth for hands free life :)

Some modern features for an prehistoric car.

If you can hear the radio you're not driving it fast enough...

 

That's what i tell myself anyway, need to get mine working again...

Haha its got some decent audio, Vifa splits and a DD ported sub. At the back there is a 4 channel and a monoblock to power the speakers lolol.

So late arvo yesterday, dropped the oil and put in fresh 15W50 Penrite Racing and decided to check the base timing. It was a whole 4 degrees off. Explains why the car had a bit of a boost creep running stock gate pressure. 

Fixed that, then took it for a spin (in between that fixing the fuel table which didn't require much change from the old motor setup). Got the AFRs a bit leaner so now its hitting 11.7 and flat lining.

And yep, I raised the boost too haha.. Running it in at 1.2bar of boost with crap all flat timing it's baking shitty 245 section Dunlops. Took it to Mexico and wound out 1st 2nd and 3rd, think I'm starting to hate the car less. Followed by that ended up at my mate's shop in South Mexico followed by a session of donuts to bed in the motor further. Gave the keys to the other boys at for a spin too. One didn't mind the lag as the motor revved out to 8.3k the other said was a bit too laggy for his liking but nevertheless still put a smile on everyone's face.

Late last night thought I would try to download the footage from my dash cam, turns out the memory card is corrupted :(

I'm running in this car a shitty Laser branded dash cam. It's the same as the G1W you see on OzBargain. 

Also isn't the first time it has corrupted a memory card. Instructions clearly state only use memory cards in this list, clearly I'm not lol.. Have a SanDisk SD card in there it doesn't like.

I don't think it matters, I've got an older GoPro4 and a quality SanDisk card and it never seems to capture anything when I'm doing illegal stuff, it's really odd. 

Ordered 2x 3.5" v bands, came next day.. Woo! (One pictured)

More exhaust mods, 3.5" into a 3" axle back isn't going to be optimal for 400kW+ worth of exhaust flow. Gotta open up that shit

A bit of raw data from the car, we can see it's making boost within 200ms or so from gear changes. Not bad transient response :)

It's no EFR or GTX but for what it is it will make many GT-R owners with twins pretty sad lol

Haven't had the chance to give it a full belt and do logs because of the long weekend

    • this is the reason we have more than one child right?
    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
