YO!

Sounds like Curly from the three stooges at low speed. Therefore making you a stooge.

Aw c'mon my thread was built to be stupid, it's way better than this one! Purpose built stupidity stupidity Vs purpose built Awesome Skid UTE with POWA! You like Nike-wingwangwoo-banannas.com ? You try? :D

You still have warranty, just certain repairs won't be covered under the conditions of it if there is a modification or such that causes damage that isn't factory supplied. An extreeme example is if you fill your new holden with red cordial instead of petrol. You still have an effective 3 yr warranty however repairs to the parts that were damaged due to red cordial are not and will be at the owners cost.

Inconel manifold would be nice.

sounds like a fun project. As mentioned the gas will be fun. Keep the updates going.

Ask your question on this fine thread ; http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Th...ic-t202467.html I'll even change the Voting to include something about the Sti. Seriously------ go drive it. e-opinion isn't worth much to you here but, then again if you ask the question on the above thread you will get banannas. :)

I'd like to see you alive for years to come. Buy the R33 gts and sell it once you have done some driver training in it. Don't mod it, as waste of money.

organic clutch? Not really up to the task if you drive like a mad bastard. Go thier 9 puck ceramic sprung job.

WOW what an elite VS thread! Why not take this conversation to my very own thread in the Skylines and other vehicles section. Even though its about GTR's I will assure you of plenty bananna!

We have these guys here in WA that can do it. http://www.kostecki.com.au/cnc.php Just around the corner from my place. Haven't looked in on them for RB stuff but, they have done some nice work for some mates engines.

I found the JJR pipes have poorly aligned pipes to the flange. Mine required plenty of time with a die grinder and I needed to machine the flange flat. The welds protruded into the path of the turbine exhaust gas in a very nasty way not to mention the wastegate. I had to also grind off weld around the holes for the Turbine studs as the alignment caused there to be no room to put one of the nuts on. Go the HKS or something actually good. end of story

response is all about the ticking clock time between things happening. You clearly missed the measurement you wanted. Seat of the pants won't help but, if you are on a dyno then map time VS rpm/speed or horsepower to see changes in response. There are lots of things that can improve it. Don't know what you are measuring but, generally less time taken to achieve 'x' is what I reffer to as a repsonse gain when power isn't necessarily on the increase. Boost insn't the be all end all. How much boost you have at 2,700rpm is not really what you want to be measuring, in fact who cares? I think you want a car that accellerates faster and is quick to 'listen' to your right foot. Am I right? You could bolt a baby single T15 or something on and have more than a bar of boost at 1,500rpm but, your car isn't going to be 'responsive' in terms of performance. Maybe towing another car out of sand. If we talk just about the GT-SS turbo setup then 'response' improvement could be sensibly confined to the area that turbos works best in with regards to airflow. Removing airlfow restrictions naturally improves the efficiency and speed at which the turbo can pump air. Can a better designed intercooler acheive this? Yes. However core volume increases aren't necessarily good if you are chasing better low end/mid range characteristics. Cams help? Yep. If the right sized cams are setup with the right settings for valve timing you can bring airflow changes on faster in addtion to pumping more air at the same engine speed. With a reduction in airflow restriction and greater cranking compression if you go more advanced valve timing setting on the intake. You can measure the time it takes to achieve this on a dyno and also power increases are a dead give away. Anything else that improves response with regards to rotational inertia helps. Light wheels , crank pulley, flywheel & clutch , tailshaft. Diff ratios etc..

Price drop.

You still have an adjustable cam gear on the exhaust? Do you have the VCT attached and working on the Rb25? I would reccomend checking the adjustment on the cam gear. Moving it back to 0 would be a good starting point. If it's been set at -4 deg on the exhaust this may give some issues. Did they play with the cam timing at all? The turbo isn't stuffed by the way it's getting boost up.

The response of the new R35 GTR on a very tight 'driver training' track was insane, looked absolutely balanced. I think you can forget it's going to have any problems.I talked to the guy pedaling it and he said it felt incredible and had balance unlike any car he had ever driven, including much smaller worked over evo's, the car is just planted to the road. I'm thinking between the Z06 and the Ascari.

I think it's clever to bring accelleration into a tune. Certainly analysing the 'time' delta of mods is just as meaningful as horsepower. It picks up non-horsepower changes as a result of things like changes in rotational inertia and throttle response mods that are invisable only looking at horsepower. Enrichment fuel mixtures can play a part in response on and off the throttle pumping and can add precious milliseconds. The time measurements also remove the 'happy dyno' to some degree, as we can measure the time 'in gear' to go from one speed/rpm to another. Things like gearing and rim/tyre diameter can then be given a chance to factor into the equation. Certainly doesn't fully replicate on track logging of conditions but, in terms of tune analysis it's the next best thing.
