I'm very interested in your opinion gtr660hp, you are suggesting to start with a very expensive car there.

The key difference I can think of between the gt3 and a gtr is the gt3 is about 300kg lighter.

But if you start to spend big $$ on your components surely you should be treating it as a business. And if its a business then you should have a business case.

How many sec/lap does a motec give you over any other ecu at 10% of the price?

How many sec/lap is $15k of suspension worth compared to $5k of suspension?

And did you break the diff and driveshafts before you spent $5k on custom ones?

Gary might have an opinion on those questions too....

I totally agree about the gearbox though it sucks in competition and you have to spend big to get a good one :(

I don't think you can suggest that having a v8 supercar driver drive 2 roads cars once is a god way to compare them, better to look at lap times at the same track for well prepared cars.

My race car owes me under $30k and that includes the 1 1/2 engine rebuilds so far (yes I suck at building motors). Its about 1 sec off the class records at the moment, and hopefully we can get closer with more track time.

I can answer the suspension question (so what's new).

Lat year the GTR was upgraded to Proflex from a Jap brand, cost around $8K, net. It was the length of the straight at Eastern Creek faster over 15 laps. That's a lot right? Well not really because it was only 2/10ths faster on lap 3 (the usual fastest lap). But it was almost a second faster on lap 15 (the usual slowest lap). Because with the Proflex, it didn't work the tyres as much and they last longer before overheating.

So if you are looking at single lap times, they were bad value for money ($8K for 2/10ths).

But if you are looking at the race time (to do 15 laps), they are worth every cent ($8K for 10 seconds).

Because, it finished second with 3rd 2 seconds behind, 4th 3 seconds behind that and 5th 1 second behind that.

With Proflex finished 2nd.........Without Proflex would have finished 6th.

That's good value for money in racing terms.

:( cheers :(

LOL...there is my opening. My little GTST would hand most R32 GTRs their ass if only i had the same power. :(

...And the Nazis almost won WWII, and if i wasnt poor, ugly and uncharismatic i would have boned Keira Knightley by now :O

What about getting that power to the ground?

Hey gtr660hp what times do you run on the national circuit at QR with your current GTR? Id imagine pretty quick times, since it sounds like you have heaps of experience with building them up. Maybe the other tracks to if you run them, sprint, clubman, and sportsman?

Why dont we ask Jimmy Richards about the diifference between the porka and the R32 he drove to win the 1992 bathurst.

Does everyone remember the infamous you're all a pack of A##eholes. He must have some fond memories of the day:-)

Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit! Buuuullllllllshit!

I enjoyed the fact that they won, cant see why everyone else was upset?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
