N1GTR

Tyre noise? I don't know what you guys are talking about If Santa doesn't bring you an RB30, you might have to just give yourself a present haha

Oh In for sure

Just add zeitronix?!

Guys it's not a photo - look closer!

How cool!!!

Marks effort

This will be interesting Jez! What's the specs for that 34?

Mick was kind enough to hand over the keys yesterday for a drive around the block, then around the corner and a bit further haha. Can't believe how well it goes for the money spent (eg stock motor still, still OEM plenum etc). Sure it's fun with your foot down but it's surprisingly tractable just cruising around!!! This car does not need big revs to move along. You can change gear at 3000rpm and it's moving along easily at traffic speeds for example. Of course when you want to go quick it's not long at all till meaningful boost and off you go Plus it has to be the cleanest 33GTST I've seen in quite some time. Don't change a thing Mick.....well maybe the RB30 bottom end haha

Sounds like fun GT3's need less exhaust anyway - they just sound SO good

Just because the fuel pump makes a noise doesn't mean it's any specific one. It's time for you to open the fuel tank up and look inside! Let the tank get almost empty though, it's no fun when there's fuel in the tank (some is unavoidable of course but what I mean is dont fill the tank up then stick your hand in) Sorry, 1 bar actuators will mean a minimum of 1 bar (close enough to 15psi). Check the AVCR though to be sure. There may be a PFC boost control kit in there but i highly doubt that. RP set the actuators to the boost level wanted and thats that - no need to spend money on EBC's and spend time on setting them up etc. Look at how many cars they've done like that and how well those cars have performed and they've definatley proven EBC's arent needed

Wait, sorry it's got Vcam - forget the tune being cheap It could have a stock fuel pump in there, but if I had to guess I'd guess a Nismo pump. It's going to be running 1 bar boost given how they do their boost control. You could change the actuators to higher ones from GCG or have the current ones loaded to open at a different pressure. Have a look at the actuator arms and take a picture if you can, see if they're dead straight or if there is a bend in them. Of course any change to boost will require tuning Also if you want to get rid of that exhaust one day, there's heaps of guys in Sydney that would be keen

Best advice would be leave it as it is because they build the cars as a package rather than just bolting shiny stuff on and hoping for the best. If you're dead keen on more power, 2.8 is really the way to go. Dont stress the AFM's - the ones you have are certainly not cheap and while yes it's better to have MAP in some people's opinion (including mine), you'll be spending money on that swap for no real gain in HP. For example, if you take the AFM's out and sell them you'll get about $700, and then about the same for the PFC (it has a super expensive tune on it now which will be thrown away), so lets say around $1400. Now, you'll need to buy another ECU so lets say you get the Link G4 which is popular thesedays, thats $1850 inc the map sensor it needs as the on board one doesnt read high enough. So you're out of pocket $450 at this stage. Now, go have the board put into a stock casing which you'll have to find from someone (say $50 or slab of beer), then map sensor installed into the engine bay, then tuned, you'll spend at least $1000 on that being done by someone who knows what they're doing. So, $1450 approx spent and all you've done is delete the AFM's which are the best on the market anyway.

Racepace don't use EBC's, it's not strange at all

PLEASE STOP NOW!!!!! Don't take this as an attack or anything but it's looking like you don't know much about GTR's. You've bought a tuned GTR from someone who had the sense to take it to the best workshop in Australia to get the work done and car taken care of. Don't go fu(king it up now! If you want more from it, go back to Racepace and ask for a stage 2 engine. It's not cheap, but you'll be in the 400kw range with a mountain of area under the curve while being totally reliable and sedate to drive around town.

TR would be kicking themselves so hard right now.

Loving those slow motion shots of the cars through the swimming pool area

Best comment in this whole thread

No

I can't believe how clean that is, not just the inside (which looks perfect) but overall!

Thank you muchly. Shame there was no airborne bits of rod/piston, still a great let go!

Mad pics there. Anyone got a video link to this engine blow up?

Ok more info needed, pics and details etc or I'll have to lock it. There's really not much in that first post to be honest

Looks fkn great - I'm just glad you fiiiiiiiiinally found the right GTR!

I wont put up the port pics in case Paul wants to keep them to himself and I wouldn't expect anything less as he's paid a lot for this. Another bit of valvetrain showed up

Needs cleaning of course and then the valve train put in
