Hi guys and gals,

Would anyone like to enter their car in the Autosalon this weekend? My R32 GTR made 345rwkw before the engine decided to 'take a breather'. It was going in the Autosalon but obviously it's not going to make it anymore.

The car was to be entered as part of a stand for a car club I have started with some friends, but now there is space available for another car.

If you would like your car entered for free, and if you're putting out a few horses, entered into the dyno comp for free as well, PM me with your car's details.

Cheers,

Alan

If there are no takers, i would be interested.

(If you dont get a bettter offer.)

My 33 makes nowhere near that power level though, but its very tidy and the paint is almost flawless.

Only thing that would let me down is a nice set of rims (anyone have some I could borrow for the weekend? - im happy to only put them on at the show and take them off to drive home)

Hey chalon is your GTR grey? If you had it at Boost Worx the other day I saw it in there, Shaun said something about 350ish kWs but engine packed up!

Otherwise thats another GTR that blew something... either way if its yours nice car man!

Oh and my GTRs not Autosalon material... maybe next year ;)

That's my baby, yes. It is a nice car, but I must say yours looked way cleaner than mine. Yours must be the one that's getting the turbos replaced?

I'm not overly down with what happened to my car. When you're pushing a reasonable amount of power, things break. It just happened at a bad time, 'tis all.

Actually my car is supposed to have an R33 N1 engine, but I have no idea what exactly this means in relation to the internals of the engine. We'll know for sure once Shaun has a bit of a dig around.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for their support on these forums. It's the sense of helping each other out that makes this forum such a great resource. I've had a couple of good offers already, but if you've got a 400kw beast hiding in your garage and want it to be admired by many people at this year's Autosalon, don't be shy and get in touch with me please :P

On another note, anybody have some nice rims in a RWD offset they'd be willing to loan for the weekend?

Cheers,

Alan

Nah that was probably the OTHER grey GTR in there hehe. Mine was just in for a major service, and dyno run. Need new fuel pressure regulator apparently, running lean under boost.

Anyway I'll stop whoring up your thread. :huh: Good luck in fixing your car man, definitely one of the tougher GTRs going round :thumbsup:

Matt is stilll away, but I was thinking about grabbing his GTR and putting it in Salon .... don't think I can be stuffed though. I think it is making closer to 500rwkw? Feels like it in the passenger seat :thumbsup:

Maybe PM Munro - his R33 streeter is making over 450rwkw these days and looks a treat!

Thanks for all the support and generosity! You guys rock.

At this stage looks like we've got our bases covered. We're certainly not going to have the most powerful cars there, but we'll have something different.

Look out for a V35 350GT-8 if anybody's going. Stock, but at least it's relatively rare at this stage at least >_<

Taken from Matt's post..... OMFG!

631.3 ft/lb torque

578 kw at all 4

775.2 hp at all 4

that was running 2bar

On another note.......

When will/should we be expecting to see John's car back at the strip?

Matt's GTR has been detuned since then - it was doing some interesting things at that power level, so the boost has been reduced. I think it is running around 500rwkw now - still a lot!

Given that it looks like AIR may never reopen, I think John is planning to run the racecar at drag combat in Perth in November. If he does I will definitely go over for it!

I took his new BMW545i for a spin last night - OMFG what an unbelievable car!!! *drooooooooooooooool* 245kw V8 in 5 Series luxury!

AIR can't give us a definite opening date (even though they originally said July 2006) .... and from what I hear not a single thing has been done yet to the timing system or track - I am not sure where the legal battle over ownership currently stands, but sure as hell BJ won't be spenging any money on the complex until it is all sorted out.

It is very poor form for racing in SA - where are we to be expected to test our cars out and get some racing out of our systems?

Stupid AIR!

Agreed!

I mean isn't there some possiblility for some Government funding of some sorts?

Look at all the other facilities in other states compared to ours!

WSID is aweomse! Why can't we get something approved like that for here? Wasn't that mainly government funded?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
