In Sydney driving approx 120kms a day, livingt at Richmond, working in Chatswood i was getting about 410-430kms before the light was coming on. Driving up from Melb i was over at about 400kms with still plenty on the dial, but filled up as didnt want to get stuckbetween Albury and Goulbourn:)

So economy is pretty good as long as im not getting stuck up it.

Thats not bad then. I only drive about 60k's a day to work and back but have not yet tuned the car or given it a desent run over a long period (only on the track for about 40 laps) and it was pretty heavy on the juice. I put $10 (which was about 8L's) and got about 60k's could go more but light had been on for a while.

Might have to drive EXTREMLY CONSERVATIVE during the week and play on weekends or just keep taking the bike.

i made 298.7 @ 16.5 psi on sat... dyno dynamics

car had been on dyno for about 2 hours tuning so intercooler was getting a bit heat soaked and piping was fairly hot. would have cracked over 300 easy when not so hot

full boost at about 4100-4200 ish and holds dead steady all way to 7500

car drives heaps better now, lots more responsive and a little more top end, fuel is about 11.3-11.7 afrs and Power FC knock count doesnt go above 35 so is very safe.

will post power graph on friday as i dont have a scanner here. will get tuned again in a little while at 18psi and will hopefully get between 320-330rwhp

Pretty sweet dude :cheers:

Look forward to seeing it around the streets

i've got a 4 door r32 automatic i put a gt30 with an internal gate, malpassi regulator,front mount, turbo back exhaust, no cat converter, bosch fuel pump and on standard boost i made 226hp @ the wheels on standard boost.......and 597nm of torque....

next is ems stinger, manual conversion, head gasket with arp bolts, injectors and boost....

GT30 means as much as hi-flow these days. It seems so many trubo shops are sellign things they claim to be GT30 this and that, but are vastly different to what Garret calls a GT30, or HKS use as the basis of their GT30 series turbos, and the results vary greatly as well.

Very true, without wheel trims and specs etc, its pretty useless information

Sounds like it has potential though! I'm almost given up on getting anymore out of my setup, just cant get anymore out of a 2510 by the looks of things! Damn I wish it was a 2530/35! For the cost and headache's involved, cams aren't happening with mine, too much for not much gain

Might try a differant intercooler, as mine has a 60mm core, maybe something larger will give it that last bit of top end it so desperatley needs!

Someone hurry up and get a 2835ProS ffs!! I want to see how they would perform on a RB20........

yeah, depending on load and gear, 1.4bar at just after 3200rpm from memory in 3rd, in 2nd its a bit later, probaly closer to 4000, dies of a bit after 6200rpm, just need to get the last 1500rpm pointing the right way on the dyno, then it would make 220rwkw no worries

Dam thats bloody good responce Chris.So it must be a GT2510 then?

With my motor one sparkplug had cracked the ceramic thing around the electrode and slid down and i'm guessing thats why it idled really rough at times and good sometimes.Still don't know about the knock thou and it still has lots of oil pressure!

Sounds like you may have spun a bearing Jase ;)

If so you can still save your existing motor, just need to machine crank, and get resized bearings.

Used to be a regular occurance on my SR20, knock knock knock as you rev :)

I cant remember if you have cam gears...perhaps fiddle with teh cam timing so that you lost a but of mid range and help the top end a tad?!?!?! It seems you have mid range to burn:)

Also, is your boost tapering off at high rpm?

Since my car is at my dads hes looking at it and put in another spark plug.He drove it around the block and it did'nt knock?what is going on.When it did knock that was just after i revved it.

If any part of the plug dropped into the cylinder then that will cause a small knock, know a person who thought he had a screwed bottom end, pulled it apart and it was just a small bit of hose clamp someone had carelessly cut and dropped in the carby... Fingers crossed!

After a few days at 300hp mine developed a missfire which has now progressed to a stage where the car wont idle..

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
