The Thing is that mid week after the meet (5/7) is when my car is going in to get a few more mods done.. :P

I'm getting the boost bleed taken from the plenium chamber (stop boost drop hopefully)

Fuel Tuned & Bigger Fuel Pump & Turbo..

I'll replace the intake hose between the turbo and the afm to a nice smooth one next week some time, and sort out something with the airbox and a new cold air intake for the new airbox.

I'm going to see if I can fit something from a VS V8 as they don't use a bell mouth, they are shaped a little different btw.

I am also going to look at getting the dump/front pipe hpc coated. D&T Exhaust can do it..

Its all about the Intake for the next couple of weeks. Try to pick up all of the response I can.

Umm all that was mod was the suspension.

Adjustable Damper and height Endless Zeal coilovers, about 3.5k worth according to there website, so happy with that.... can hold about 140km/hr down main south on windey bits with them so all good

everything else stock , which is good in my eyes , less chance of it having been thrashed.

I rekon I have lost power tho , seems like it doesnt have the kick it had at first , i think maybe clutch might sorta be slipping, think its stock.

I may be imagining it , prob just getting used to the power of the car now.

When I first got mine it has stock tyres on it 205's.

And it used to chirp them through first then all of a sudden it felt like it had lost power and stopped chirping them.

It was the clutch ever so slightly slipping, then it got worse and worse over a period of around 2 months until it was finally buggered.

Might be the clutch might not.... :P

Mine was..

U prob right Aaron hehe,

Hmm but dunno got a feeling it may be clutch as mine doesn't churp as easily now as it used to, think may have to drive more cafeful for a while , dont feel like blowing the clutch just yet haha.

how much is a new single plate for a GTSt? , one that will last any beating?

ahh i know is it cant handle real high rev starts , slips like hell , its ok on like 3k starts but anything over and its no go.

Yep sounds like your clutch that is exactly what mine did.

I had a Heavy duty organic clutch fitted for $850.

I think you can buy them for around $600 then fit them you self.

That is what i noticed first that it didn't chirp.

Not that I really want to chirp the gears with a rb20det box..

damn isn't it crap weather today!, nothing to do but stay indoors and watch tv and surf the net... ahh well good excuse to do so ;).

Thats not a bad price, looks like exactly what i will be after when its due, only want to stay single plate as twin plate would suck so much in traffic.

Did u get this done at RPM? , more than likely ill get it done at VMS as I know them well tho.

So is the RB20DET box not strong?, hope RB25DET box is stronger :D , dont feel like having to get the gearbox rebuilt.

All up tho I hardly ever drive that car hard.

Actually on the note, I did the fuel test, I can only get about 300km to a tank of Ultimate 98, and that is mostly driving off boost with the occasional boost when seeing a Commodore at the lights :P

Most of this driving was done in the city with a few trips up the freeway.

Is this what you guys get?, I was def hoping for better fuel econ!.

The car does seem to backfire on gear changes now and then, so I think its def running a bit rich, think I may have to take it to RPM to get a tune done.... I reset the ECU and didnt seem to help.

wow 300kays to a tank of juice..

The worst I have ever got is 420 when it just had the red light starting to go on and off.

Usually I get around 470 and with the fmic last tank i got 500kays.

btw this tank i will get a little less because i've started to like the feeling of second coming on to boost and start to slightly wheel spin up in a straight line. :P

When I first got my car like within the day I replaced a fuel filter, slapped a bottle of injector cleaner in and was getting around 420kays to a tank of juice.

Then Tim fitted the fuel pressure bleed kit tuned it up made another 10rwkw and i began getting pretty much exactly 470kays per tank with all of it around the suburbs.

I think the R33's are heaps worse for running rich.

Do your spark plugs, air filter, oil, oil filter, injector cleaner with 1/2 a tank of juice, fuel filter and then a couple of tanks down the track slap another bottle of injector cleaner in just to make sure it is going to get every little bit of crap off.

Also when you do your oil change -- well I slapped in a bottle of that nulon engine oil flush and then changed oils ever 2000km's after that twice then i went back to the normal 5000km's service.

Do your gearbox oil change slap a tube of nulon g70 to help save your syncro's a little and then do the diff oil.

Remember you don't really know what conditions or how the car has been driven so its better to be safe than sorry.

Also ... Do your coolant and most importantly do a full brake fluid flush.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
