What you need a cage for???

Well got my 75K so time to spend some money.

New engine will consist off....

RB25 block, decked and new sleeves put in to accept 93mm pistons. Offset and ground crank, nitrided, blah blah blah, you know the usual.

This should bring the swept volume to 2.9 litters and a 100500 rpm redline.

New sump, and N1 oil pump with modified squirters and return.

Stage 2 pon cams, possible solid lifters not sure. Tomei springs and valves.

800cc injectors, top feed with twin entry custom rail, 3 bosh 040 pumps and surge tank.

I have no idea in regards to engine management, tossing up weather to go Wolf V5 or something similar.

OS Giken clutch twin plate, 2 way lsd, new breaks and suspension, no idea what yet.

Not sure if the set-up will be a big single or 2 smaller huffers. I want response and power.

BUT that is still some 2 years away. At the moment I am acquiring spear engines, to test the crank and new liners, and seeing as I will do all the work myself, should save a fair bit of money.

Keep an eye out.

I want a 100500rpm redline as well :unsure:

looking good stu,

Update for me, Pick up the cage on saturday, hope to install it in the next couple of weeks.

Senssational!

Its gonna be fun next season then, I'll pull to the left to let you through!

Got my front springs (Aurora 7kg 40mm lowered) and rear coilovers (JIC, 6kg) in now. About to change my front tyres for some RE540S I scored from Deane. Cusco cambertops are waiting to go in but I think the spacers they come with require modifying, and my JIC carbon fibre front strut brace is still to arrive.

Fingers crossed I'll have Ben's R34 GT-T intercooler and an SAFC soon.

Have GTS-R wing, new front bar + vents in my study still, bodywork is f#cking expensive!

Really need to get the sills painted white when the other bodywork gets done, the black sills make it look so much higher than it is. Cusco tops will drop the front a little further all going to plan...

Hey guys,

So anyone seen my old ride kickin around, Someone told me that some young guy bought it. I am allready board of the Evo 9 its just doesnt have as much punch as the old line but the evo kills the skyline in every other aspect by far. So in about a month let the upgrades begin im gonna aim for around 250-270awkw.

Hope it all goes well for you next year Leigh.

Cheers

Alan

Hey Alan, Hows Qld? and come on, post up a pic of the little beast.

Glad you are happy with the evo, we never seem to be happy with the power :O our cars make. I am looking foward to the tassie series next year, should be good. Got no expectations, just want to get out there, and enjoy the car and have some fun.

cheers

Wouldnt 044 pumps be better as the flow more???? I have 2 of these in my 33 and a gtr pump filling the surge tank and they work a treat just a bit noisey. Good luck with the build.

yeah going to look at bennos when he gets back, and the one from eurotech. I will need a running one to test and one to play with, if all goes well, i will sell the kit to stroke and RB25. If i use stock pistons and stroked strock crank i will get just over 2.6 liters.

had a look out our budget, and so far so good. I need my mate to get back from site, he is supervising one of my poject on site, so he can do the crank resizing for me.

Cool, well its a win-win either way i guess if you get either of them!!!

I wouldn't really worry about going any larger with displacment cobber after all it is only a road car that is driven daily :)

Yeah i saw that, but i have some time yet, i need to wait 6 more weeks fo rthe settelment to go through to get the rest of the money. I mean i have it on paper but not in hand. LOL.

hows your rig going?

The 33 is going ok. Took it to bridport yesterday for a blast. Its going really well but i have to get an exhaust for it as its very loud on the highway. It only has the 3inch dump pipes into 4inch collector :).

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
