E85, 32psi, 8000rpm limit. Crazy bastard wanted to go more boost as it still wants to keep making power : .....Mission accomplished 🤟

Wait  . . . is that the Mission Impossible theme music I hear playing ?

And the credits now roll !

Congratulations that's a serious amount of mambo there !

Now you can just sit there and do nothing . . . . cause its finished  . . . . . right . . . . ? 

I wish !

Nope, keeping track of the 3 GTR's is almost a full time job in itself.

-This car is ready for competition in 3 weeks, so minor prep required.

-The 33 GTR needs to be checked over and prepared for competition in 3 weeks also.

-The other white 32 engine has to come out and rebuilt after failing on the dyno, so Mission Impossible 2 intro theme is only just beginning...

What’s the review of the first drive?

As I mentioned earlier the first drive was in the rain on RS4s, which was interesting...thank god for the Quaife front and rear diffs !

After a few more drives I am convinced - the car is bloody perfect. Handles brilliantly, drives nicely, sounds unreal and has more power than anyone needs, so I am so glad I went the 6466 on the 2.8 instead of the 6870 as originally intended.

This is more than enough power for this car ( and me ! ) - I don't think I'll ever need to chase more power ever.

The Red Centre Nats 07 meeting in 7 days time will be interesting, as this car is entered into the Drag racing and the Motorkhana. Hopefully be able to squeeze a 9 out of it on the strip, but I'm actually more exited about how it'll go on the Motorkhana. I won this event last year in my 33 GTR which will be also back to defend it's title.

It'll be interesting to see how a 330kw twin low mount GTR with the 33 compares to this with the single 600kw+ tune on the same track. First thing will be just to keep them out of the walls !

I personally think the 33 will still be faster on the tight stuff.

Stupid car dropped all it's coolant on the first run of the weekend at the drags, so no Motorkhana for the 32 in 2021. Intake side will have to come out as it leaking down there somewhere.

Still managed to go 138mph at 10.9 on that run - with a totally stuffed up 60ft of 2.2 ! Actually I'm not even sure I was full throttle ?! 🤦‍♂️

Old man has been working on the car without telling me, intake side is all pulled down.

As suspected (sort of), where the rear heater hoses connect to the block above the starter motor the block off plug was blown off on the 2nd unused port.

You've quoted, it's not going away now !

Seriously though more power than this I think requires a hell of a lot of compromises.

Which are?

gearbags and what not?

Yes and no. More from engine reliability, longevity and delivery point of view. More power definitely equals shorter engine lifespan between teardowns. Cue billet blocks and dry sump setups to combat this, which I'm not to keen on doing.

Driveline Torque capacity is obviously always an issue on a GTR. I'm Pretty confident in the current setup with Quaife front and rear diffs, 31 spline rear upgrade and the straight cut dog box. Rear axles would be first to go in my opinion

Biggest thing is more power means larger turbo - larger turbo means power band delivery gets narrower. Start chasing your tail with 3+ litre capacity strokers to combat this, which also I'm not so keen on doing.

Like you've said yourself before the world's going a bit nuts with how much power you can extract from engines nowadays.

A reality check on what you're trying to achieve is always a sensible approach to gauge how much power is really enough.

You're starting to sound like a 40+ year old....  

Don't worry, I feel you!  Doesn't stop one from buying parts they want not need however...

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.

      A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
