A select few of you here know the details of what i have planned and the actual specifics that go along with it, now unless you've living under a rock for the past few months you'll have picked up that it will indeed be sporting the big GTR badge.

However, my dilema is that i simply have not driven one yet. Now i don't want to go around to dealerships or individual sellers under the false flag that I am ready to make a purchase, it's disrespectful and dishonest.

So essentially I'd really appreciate it if one of our members could let me take theirs for a spin, I don't need to drive Jun's (although i would'nt decline the offer hahaha) It doesn't even need to be modded, I just want to drive one before mine hits the road some time from now and to inspire me to work harder whilst I'm getting it ready.

So if anyone in our beloved crew could give me some of their time to let me take their GTR for a drive I'd really appreciate it, on your terms, at your time, wherever suits you.

I could really use the inspiration so any opportunity would be hugely appreciated, i know it's a big ask......

I was considering letting u drive it since u live around the coner but then i thought it wouldnt be a good example for you with the sequential trans and the quad plate clutch it just wouldnt be fair for u it might turn u off 32's and id hate for that to happen.

You're right there is a calculated risk of me losing my passion for 32's but you know something.....I'm prepared to take that risk, shall we say around 8 this evening? lol :lol:

I actually wouldn't mind popping round just to have a look at it, i've never even seen the bloody thing!

    • What is the current snail?
    • Never an issue with boost control. No weird boost issues pre throttle at partial throttle like you're suggesting. It worked.   As for all the turbo damage claims, they all were started by aftermarket BOV companies. At least turbo timer companies had SOME truth about them, except people failed to realise that except for in extreme circumstances, that small amount of driving you do to park/ through pit lane etc, is enough to not have a need for a turbo timer.
    • I tell people all the time this stuff runs on a 2 MHz 8-bit MCU. The math is a bit arcane, they do a lot to get around their limited resolution and so on but it works great as-shipped. So if an 80 to 160 MHz modern 32-bit MCU can't make it work you've really screwed something up badly. Your average graphing calculator is faster these days, god forbid we start talking about what's hiding in vapes or some stupid internet-connected "smart appliance".  I suspect the lore about off-throttle surge damaging turbos must be very, very old if it was ever true. I still don't think off throttle surge is good for turbos because you're rapidly having air going in and out of the turbo on top of rapid loss in shaft speed which presumably does impart some kind of unusual load on the rotating assembly. As for the recirculating valve, I believe Nissan actually in a press slide deck of some kind explained for the RZ34 they found it improved response. Prior to that they kept the throttle cracked open instead which causes rev hang and because the throttle/engine is a substantial restriction a ton of the energy in the air stream is lost just to pumping past it. Recirculating helps reduce energy loss by bringing the intake side of the compressor up in pressure so it's not working as hard to pull air in. In DCT cars where they can slam gears I believe Porsche hangs the throttle wide open with no fuel injection to keep turbo RPMs as high as possible during the shift. As for running post-throttle boost source, I would be concerned that at partial throttle on boost you would have driveability issues. It would be constantly trying to run crazy amounts of boost before the throttle to compensate for the throttling effect. Maybe with a much more sophisticated boost control setup you could activate a solenoid that goes from a conventional 3-port setup to something that allows the wastegates to see full vacuum in that specific case? 
    • Did you clean everything out? Take all intercooler piping off, empty the intercooler of oil, clean the exhaust out, etc? Intercoolers make great catch cans... Which makes them less useful for intercooling... But very worth cleaning out, along with all adjoining piping.
    • Update Got turbo back from hypergear, installed everything etc. Bled coolant, wasn't smoking so I thought beauty she's sorted now. Went on a drive, car up to temp, let it idle for about 15 seconds, gave it some gas...nice puff of smoke again. Fml No doubt my turbo was pretty worn anyway but nonetheless frustrating that the problem persists.
