BMI have commented that the Mines R34 is faster than a JGTC vehicle - something I'm sure the Z-Tune is not.

But then imagine Mines tuned Z-Tune.... :P

Hang on...even if you put it on slicks its not goign to be faster then a JGTC car :P

Just because BMI etc say it doesnt make it so. The dvds i have make for great viewing, but they are not exactly great for accurate tech data etc. I seriosuly doubt that their "Battles" are egit as you see some cars running semis and others runnign std rubber. Then there is the whole NSX keepign up with the truly exotic cars and huge discrepancies in times between one dvd to the next...

So in line with those inconsistancies, didnt that drift fella do a 53 or 52 seconds lap ih his JGTC NSX (from memory it was last seasons NSX and that team had its ass handed to it all season but the Toyota and Nissans so want even the quickest of the JGTC cars) ..yet was several seconds quicker then the Mines car.

So statements liek its quicer then a JGTC car, or quicker then an F1 Jordan are to make a poitn that the car is quick, not a statement of fact :D

BMI have been known for rigging races for JDM cars to win. On one of the latest DVD's Z-tune come from 4th to win on the last corner.

Don't get me wrong, I think BMI is a good watch, I just take the battle reults with a grain of salt.

seeing how the Z-tune holds BM, Top Rank Production car at tsubkia (sp), but saying that its more the driver than anything..

na v's turbo battle. the na fd which had 400hp was lapping times very similar to the mines r34 gtr because the drifto king himself was driving the fd

some odd arguments about times in here.

any video is bulls1t unless they have real drivers with real reasons to win. not just paid to make entertainment.

and as for a drifter being quick around a track :talktohand: he never won a jgtc did he?

If you are serious about times you can only look at those proper timed workshop laps they do, or a proper race

LOL, I always thought the results from these battles were a bit dodgy, guess I'm not the only person who thinks so. I still enjoy the battle royale most, HKS vs MINES vs MCR, come on GTR tuners, more MORE MORE!!!!!!

drift king is not that bad, i rember he is some sort of track record holder, he is just beening not consistence enough to win JGTC

never ever trust the result of BM, can't u see the 60+ yrs old man always win...?

Roy,

i belived it was the NSX-R that keeped up with the ture exotic cars..

NSXR, sorry, R or not, it is lucky to have anywhere near the power of the GT3, it weighs more then the GT3...yet the NSX beats it, plus every other Euro exotic. There is one particular DVD i have where you can see on the pics on the grid its on semis....none of the Euros are on Semis. That combined with the nutter that usually drives the NSX just parks it up th einside then hogs the line...its a piss take. Great viewing but no indication of the real pace of the car.

As for the Tsuchiya or whatever his name is..i understand he did win the Jap GrpA series...and if he is the same guy that drove for Toyota at Le Mans then he came in the places in the GT-One Toyota...though i dont know how common a surname it is...so he can obviously drive....

But that doesnt ake away from the fact that their batles are for the viewers entertainment. It seems the Tsukuba (spelling?) shootouts are a much more credible measure of the pace of the tuned cars,well thats my 2cents anyway

The comment about the Mines car being faster than the JGTC cars was ONLY in reference to acceleration and made by 2 JGTC GT500 Drivers.

I'm happy to accept this statement based on the fact that the Mines car produces 600ps & 60kg-m (as taken from GTR Magazine) and the GT500 cars are regulated to 500hp. Also factoring in the extreme engine response of the Mines GTR makes it 1 VERY VERY quick car (without the need for mega hp)

My 100 Yen

Could be right, but i would be surprised though.

The Japs dont run under the FIA regs for GT cars so i dont really know the restrictor sizes, weights etc of the car. But i would be surprised if the 2.6L Mines car had more torque then the 3.5L VQ GTR that is also turbocharged, the JGTC GTR would weigh less etc etc...But i suppose it could spring a surprise?!?!?!

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
