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 :(

Good on ya frank!

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?

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
