hi everyone...

well after some crazy finance stuff went down with my last GTR & subsequent sale before xmas....i took delivery of my new GTR on thursday...and im happy to say that its all going well so far!!

its a 1990 model built at the Tomei workshop.

First stop was Mercury Motorsport for a tune check to find out how its running (air fuel etc)..as it has got a rytech computer and i dont want to blow it up....it pulled very nicely given its running 1 bar & standard intercooler & injectors. Running a little rich dipping into the lower 10's on the dyno but overall a good tune.

Best thing is the handeling!! cusco swaybars & upper links...solid mounts...roll cage...very stiff & nice :P tein adj coilovers, bit stiff but goes around corners a lot better than my last GTR.

Brakes are standard calipers but upgraded pads discs & braded lines...also tomei master cylinder stopper & ABS removed. i cant believe the difference over my last ones...and my last ones were vspec brembo's!! :D

Overall, the car needs a little care and attention but should be great when finished!!

u'll probably see me out and about :(

thanks mick

yeah the bar wont be a prob mate, and i got a free alarm out of kris for it, yey.....just hope it wasn’t from drifting through an industrial estate LOL..na most of the paint came off and i will get it all shmicked up

well the power figure will remain a mystery which i can neither confirm nor deny...lets just say that the figure is over 250awkw. hhaha. the figure was made with really high intake temps as i was driving it around all day...48deg so i am going to redo it later on

when i get the new intercooler and cold air intake ill redyno and maybe tell...

but the turbo is awesome....the car is so quick its scary...for me anyways LOL

yeah mate

i scraped it pulling out of my garage. :P sorry about that hope it works out.

The hks T04S is a great mid range turbo. its got the nice small ex housing. Its so much more midrange than my t04r was.

IF you really wanted you could make big power (350kw@4+) with boost, and injectors , powerfc.

but yeh that car will make an awesome track weapon.

let us know when you go out there, and i'll come take vids and photos etc

Congrats again!

thanks boys,

yeah i think that with some injectors, power FC and massive FMIC it could make some big power....funny the turbo is only rated at 550hp and im nearly making that at 1 bar?? that will be a little down the track....:-( the funds are streched!! hahah

i would of thought it wasent even really getting going at that boost?

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
