RB30 Build!

[DJ]

It looks alot better when you actually see the car live! Simon I think the lm's looked good on the car..

[greddytrustGTR]

actually canards don't fit with the Fujimura lip, and i'm not sure if i wanna hack them up to make them fit, might be selling them instead. as for the wheels, the LM's were nice but i find were to attention grabbing. and the TE's widen the stance a hell lot more, plus its HellaFlush i just have to adjust my coilovers so they sit properly.

and the Satin Black looks a lot better in person.

[mynameishigh]

looks really good man. cant wait to see it in person. you had lm's?? still have them?

[Eber]

if you sell canards give me a Pm i may hack them up..haha

so it's been a good 2 months since i posted anything on my build... some good and bad news.

the good news first, my new low boost number is 511whp @ 17psi.....and for the bad news, we couldn't bring the boost any higher because my HALF of my AEM EMS and my AEM meth controller got fried.... how you ask? as far as i can tell when they were welding my cage in they didn't have it grounded properly so when they were welding it fried my EMS, Meth controller and almost all my relays in my car... so swapped out all the relays with high quality 5 pin International truck relays, like 35 dollars a f***ing relay...

so i sent the EMS to AEM for them to check it out, and sure enough the half that i needed of the EMS to run the meth controller is fried, to they are willing to repair it and send it back to me, but this was 2 weeks ago, and they are taking their sweet ass time.

but thats where my car sits at the moment, in my garage without an ECU.


i also picked up a brand new set of Cusco full adjustable coilovers too, so ill be posting my tein coilovers for sale soon.

i will try to keep you guys posted.

i hope your having the welding shop pay for the repair

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

looks good so far, how about the Fujimura rear part?

[greddytrustGTR]

heh i put it on and my mirror becomes absolutely useless with the cage and that wing lip blocking the way. so i ordered a broadway or broadview mirror so i can sorta try and see around it, but the car has been parked for now so i havent gotten around to installing either one again. but i will be putting it back on and take photos,

[frankiman]

i have one of those broadview mirror that clips over the standard rearview mirror,
its great on the street, but on the track i found it vibrating way too much because of the added weight on the standard mirror's support,
and when it vibrates, you simply cannot see anything in it

[greddytrustGTR]

So after 3 weeks of no news from AEM in California, I called them the other day and turns out they fixed it already and shipped it out on Monday, and are not charging me anything. so should be here either on Friday or early next week!!

[Sandersb4671]

From the beginning, awesome build, great progress. And awesome luck on the AEM situation, in the end at least I hope to see more on this soon!

This has to be one of the sickest builds I've ever seen. You have an amazing GTR!! so jealous! How does your wallet feel after it all :P haha Very nice work man!

SO,

AEM EMS is plugged in, re-calibrated and the motor is timed again. brought it to the dyno where we were continuing the tune, we were starting to bring the boost up past 21psi and everything was running awesome, the thing is a freaking powerhouse!!! sounds absolutely amazing!! the f*cking thing is chained to the dyno and is still lifting off the dyno!!

then it happens...

at 25psi the darkest cloud of smoke you ever saw shot out the back....f*cking misfire caused by spark blowout... then it hits me, the only thing that i STILL did not change in the whole build... the coilpacks...

so we test it again at 21psi, absolutely no spark blowout. so we decided to leave the boost level at 21 psi till i get aftermarket coils.

we unhook the car from the dyno, and i take it out for a rip, go do little run on the highway, floor it, everything runs well then all of a sudden a big cloud of white smoke appears behind me and i immedietly check the oil pressure gauge, no movement. okay so its not the motor. as i was heading back to the shop i stop at a light, and i hear it...

one of the turbos is squeeling like a pig,

get back to the shop look underneath. oil is dripping out the dump tube for the rear turbo. and its late now so we leave it till the morning to check out whats the deal..



this morning we take it apart and look at the turbo, no shaft play but the turbo is still dripping oil. we did a compression and a leakdown test on the motor to make sure it`s not the motor, and the motor is unaffected. turns out the seal on the turbo is pooped. dunno how, but just pooped

so

ordered a new turbo, should be in within 24hrs and car will be running by Thursday!!!

its been a month since i sat in the car let alone drive it, but when i took my skyline for the one rip, i remember why i kept this cursed car nothing else drives like it, and i swear if skyline owners didnt have bad luck, we`d have no luck at all haha


anyone know who can get Okada Projects Plasma Direct coils?

[frankiman]

so what kind of power did you make during that tune? 600whp?

and i bet daryl could source okada items for you, but i bet they will cost you an arm and your liver

edit; case and point http://www.rhdjapan.com/okada-projec...-50511?nflag=1

[greddytrustGTR]

oh ya sorry forgot to mention that, the highest number we saw was 602whp but we werent getting accurate readings cause the car was lifting and slipping on the rollers, so might be more might be less.
