Top RB20 Club... do you have over 260rwkw?


Recommended Posts

screwed more boost into it this time.....?

Nismoid, I swear I have seen a vid with AC with his ass sitting in your boot on the dyno @ autosalon :thumbsup:

Just saying.

Exactly the same boost, just more timing! The turbo is hitting a brick wall after 22psi :)

Mate i run 240rwkw and I know what you mean but they're are ways around this slippery slide that you get with r32s.

1) Have a fiddle with your Profec B or alternative ebc and spread the boost as wide as possible over your rev range. This will help decrease the sudden surge of boost and subsequent wheelspin (which is wicked but not when you wanna rape a VE 6 litre)

2) Widen/change your heat cured tyres. I run 245/17s on the rear and 225/17s on the front. Old tyres have f**kall grip (remember this)

3) By a heavy sub box and plonk it in your boot. Don't even have to hook it up but looks better than a pile of sand.

4) When going out to drag, pick your heaviest mate up and take him with you. He'll be good for some grip.

5) Proper use of clutch - foot off clutch before foot on throttle.

6) Put some weight on yourself :D

If your still not happy, buy a GTR!

Well, with a bit more ignition, running the gate atmo I have found a bit more power.

This will be serving as the baseline tune for the install of the Plazmaman plenum (finally) and some Tomei cams over the next two weeks. Will be interesting to see what differences the two mods make. I am hoping for about 285rwkws and a bit more mid and less drop off from the cams and plenum...but I suspect the car will be laggier, more peaky and generally crap compared to how it is now ;)

"...dont fix what aint broke"

Also, regarding traction....this is on crappy Nanakangs

So if you have traction problems with 180rwkws, or anything under 250rwkws then you really need to look at the quality of shocks and spring rates you are using along with the wheel alignment. The vid shows problems with my car under brakes, but thats because I did not bother to put my brake setup back on the car as the intent of the weekend was to get some more running on the setup and check out the tune. A brake upgrade on the rear does not work with std brakes on the front :ermm:

I hear all these people talk about dyno wheel spin yet i've never seen my car do it lol

Im missing out :ermm:

...cause it needs more balls ;)

My last tune, strapped down and people in the car etc still turning them - good for a laugh but yeah not good for anything else

What spring rates are the coil overs and what tyres+rim combo you using?

If you are using typical jap drift 8kg bullshit on aussie roads and nankangs 215s stretched on 9" rims then its going to spin with 100kw.

I've got 240kw and I can put it down in 1st gear with minimal spin, using fairly soft 4.5kg springs (not 'coilovers'), and 235 federal 595 evo tyres on 9" rims

If your bushes or hicas rods are stuffed and you are getting weird dynamic toe then this will make it sloppy and kick the rear out a lot as well, test the rear wheels for play, will also show up as tramp and horrible vibrations if it is the hicas rods, at least it did with me.

What's the most PSI you would run through an internally stock, but fresh (8000km after full rebuild) RB20DET?

I've got

Full RB20DET rebuild with all the usual honing/blanking blah blah

FMIC

Full turbo back exhaust with performance cat

Greddy Dump Pipe

z32 AFM

Cold air intake

Splitfire coilpacks

550cc injectors

ECU Remap

Garrett GT2871R

Bosch 044

Exedy Super HD Clutch

230.3rwkw on 16 psi...

Just wondering how far I can turn the boost up. I'd run it on 16 usually with the max psi used every now and then.

Did this ever happen?

Well I installed the Plazman plenum and played with a few other things and sadly I cant get the response back :( It seems whilst others have seemed to get good results, I cant say the same. I did as close to back to back as you can...same dyno, same tuner and as you can see no real benefit.

med_gallery_462_50_44142.jpg

I still have the cams to try with E85, and also have a larger exhaust housing that will let me run more boost...but need to spend some time enjoying it on the track rather then leaving it in the shop waiting to be worked on :)

Well, now that I am back in Aus and the car is back together. I am goign to keep this thread alove :)

So did two track days in two weekends. Did two laps at Sandown and got booted because of noise :( So the following weekend went to Winton and gave it a wrap...

The basics were 19psi, 245rwkws and shifting between 7,400-7,600rpm for 43 laps. I have lost a bit of power as United have stopped selling 100RON so had to wind some ignition of it. Its amazing how sensitive my engine is to ignition, it really loses and gains power with a few degrees....so need to look at getting back on a better quality fuel. Before the plenum install i ran 98 plenty of times on the 100ron tune and no issue.

    • lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.    
    • Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno. 
    • Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser. 
    • Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
    • Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).
