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?

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
