Sorry Rezz, but somehow I've become the instigator when all I've been trying to do is explain something which is rather black and white, so I'm going to quote Ghostrider one more time... just for old times sake.

So as you can see, I was only acting on his request. :D

Unless of course it was a rhetorical question to begin with.

.....and to the people who think Ti's are slow, we have at least 2 Ti's (RB30ET) here in Victoria which are pulling low 12 - high 11 1/4 mile times, with all electrics intact.   :P

You have been told to leave it alone by 2 moderators on this thread, MANY TIMES, yet you keep trying to stir up the sh!t, but keep it up, as I am not going to retaliate, not on here at least.

You are just fueling your own fire, keep it coming Karina, everyone knows how you won't leave it alone, so just ignore all the moderators and by the way, that's a word you obviously have neither the regard or knowledge as to it's meaning.

Maybe when PRANK reads our PM's you may think differently.

Have a nice day!

Fatz,

Your R31 is by far, not standard suspension.

Your going the same track as Karina, we're talking of improving a stocky, no challenge needed or intended, as your car is not quite a match to a stock R31, or maybe a run against John's (UAS) Z32 might tickle your fancy.

Karina, weight affects more than just quarter mile times. Straight line is passe. Drift is teh ghey. Real corners are good.

Yeah, I know that a stock TI can be quick in corners, it just takes a farking good driver. My completely stock TI ran away from the rest of the SA boys up a road I hadn't driven one night, and that was all the others in silo's and GX's with filter, exhaust, suspension and tyres... But now in the DR30, with bugger all extra power over stock I can get through a set of curves soooooooooooo much faster because the car is lighter and sticks to the road so much better.

I'm much happier with the DR than I was with the TI even though I don't like the round tail lights and other telltail Skyline bits that are on it or the Skyline stigma that goes with it. It's a bit quicker but feels so much better on the road, the only '31 I've been in that comes close is Shannons Pintara but thats got coilovers and new sway bars and stuff that I havent done with the '30

Fatz 4 door probably handles a shitload better because it doesnt have an anchor sitting in front of the front axles anymore.

And I reckon I could whup your 11 sec TI's from one hills town to another

nice, I hope it isn't inappriopriate to ask. But where about's did you get it from? new? used?

No not at all.I got it secondhand from someone over here from these forums.It's a good turbo and as it comes onto boost thru first (read 13psi at 4000rpm) it wheelspins :headspin: and thats with 255's on the ass end.

Just thought I would put a reply to all this crap going on over my turbo conversion. Sheesh, get a life. I am not going to get involved in this debarcle other than to say that in australia, we generally quote power on car brochures etc, as kilowatts, not horsepower, and if I want to make my Ti a sleeper, apart from that being my choice, what better car to do it with than a grandpa car. It will still have all it's electrics, all it's air etc, just bigger brakes and better suspension. I can remember being shocked out of my drivers seat the other day by the crapiest looking 240K that just left me standing at the lights after I heard this strange whizzing noise coming from it. I have to tell you I was impressed, even though I now knew that the car was a sleeper. If I only had one car, and I wasn't an R31 fanatic, (of course I realise that not everyone is, but I am.) I wouldn't bother with something like this. I have a GTS 1 and a GTS 2, they are both great cars, and a lot of fun to drive, now I want something different, and I wouldn't mod the GTS's, not ever.

At the end of the day, if you wanna hang shit on what someone else is doing, thats fine, but don't get involved in character assasinations on this forum. We are all entilted to our opinion, but we don't have to make sure the whole world sees how immature this little thread has become. Now can we all get back on topic, and start talking about our 31's again.

No dramas really.  The R31 mounts bolt straight up, The R31 clutch bolts onto the RB26 flywheel, the powersteer pump pulley did not quite line up so I did not bother re-fitting it, or the air con, I have no idea if that would fit as I did not try it cos I did not want A/C.  The only Major drama was the sump which I had High energy make up and they now have the JIG to remake an RB26 sump for an R31.

The Wiring is fairly straight forward but I decided to make it hard by pulling the whole dashboard out and runing all the wiring behind the firewall and the inner gaurds to hide it all!

It is a great conversion..  Even in stock tune the RB26 is beautifully powered in the lighter R31 shell.  It always leaves a smile on my face!  :cheers:  :)

Really i would like to see how it feels in a 26 powered 31 !

I own an R31 gts1 pretty stock besides slotted rotors and green stuff pads.

Ghostrider for you i am gonig to stick a t04 off the GTS-r on mine with the usual vlt bits with an intercooelr hidden behind a gts II front bumper.

And as for you adam YOU ARE MY HERO you own a dr30 wow and you think its god congratulations but there is only so fast you can go through mountains as you share the road with other drivers same with drag or drift.

yes i am modifying my gts and if you pop the bonnnet it will be hard to pick the conversion i am not cutting holes but with 180 rwkw it could nearly be called a sleeper.

For the record this discussion has been very entertaining and watch out SKY031 is a nazi and is jealous of your cars hence her anger

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄

      Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
