Mine was in there today as well. It's having a miss on the turbo spool. Think it's the airflow meter. Did you see it?

What coilpacks, sparkplugs + gaps are you running? This is the most common cause of a miss. AFM issues are a bit harder to diagnose so if your still running stock coils with higher boost you may be blowing the spark out. If the spark plugs are old and gapped to wide the higher boost will do the same thing.

Carbon looks good cal..

Not bad for $60 right? :P

Trying to work out if I should get a r33 vspec now or wait a little longer and grab a r34 with around 90,000 kms. Lola doesn't worry me too much, I just want something suitable for track work, and street driving.

I'm well educated with turbo setup, and can do all of my own tuning and general setup...

Just not sure.

I love tuning and I'm f**king great at it so I just want to get my own project again.

Annoyed at tuning other cars and not doing my own :(

Anyone got any input? I want to import so I should start looking now, I might have it before Xmas.

It's kinda like if I want to have sex with Benny or kingy? Ben now or kingy later on? Haha.

Hey kingy, did you end up getting a final tune on the r34? How did my tune fare after you changed the clutch?

hey Jono

You wont be disapointed with buying a GTR either way 33 or 34.. i went with the 34 coz i just love the shape but on the downside they still do have a fair price tag for a good quality one.. and somewhat cheaper for an average one.

The car hasn't really gone too far since you tuned it maybe done 500km, iam taking it to bris next friday for a full go over tune and dial the cams in etc. has been a while just been flat out. Hoping to run around 1.5bar as that should still be safe, dont need to be rebuilding it in a few months time. Although i have fitted some TE's and 6 pot brembos and full Ti exhaust since then, doesnt look too bad

I think ya should pull your finger out and start lookin now for a new toy haha..

Hey Jono i would probably be a better root than Kingy, hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

If you where gonna track work a GTR then i probably wouldn't use a R34 as the electronic's and 4WD system are not as easy to trick and play around with. Although the R32 and R34 has a lot more support after market wise for aero aids etc. The R33 on the other hand are cheap as now, but they are the odd one out of the 3 and getting parts seem to be harder for some reason. Either way they are both awesome cars, it just seems the old GTR's can not cut the mustard in today's time attack scene as Evo's are heaps lighter and are a lot cheaper to build especially when they have a massive market in the U.S you can stroker kits for like 4K etc. GTR's are not cheap to setup and ,make them reliable as my R33 has costs heaps and the R32 cost a few hundred thou and i know for a fact kingy's r34 was not cheap to make. Either way lets us know what you decide and don't hesitate to ask any questions i'll try help you out as best i can.thumbsup.gif

Thanks for the comments guys, will keep all of your tips in mind.

I'd love a r33 because they're cheaper, I'd have more for mods, and wouldn't be so careful with it.

The r34 on the over hand is sexy as.

So confused.

Well, tomorrow I'm going for a lap on the nurburgring in one of the cars, they're about 200rwkw. Maybe I'll see some interesting cars on the circuit.

It's going to be a pleasure to be on the track that the Nissan GTR made the porche it's bitch.

Oh, I'm in Germany by the way. Lol. Doing 180kmph on the autobahn as I type this :P

Safe

lol

White R33 GTR. Can be Kingy's Cars little brother haha. Will look good with some carbon fibre goodies on it, lowered, sweet mags

Midnight purple and White work well on R33 GTR's, Someone here has already done midnight purple but ;)

Yeah Midnight Purple is nice but i would never own it again it is a pain in the arse to keep clean.

Photoshoot today on the R32 hope the rain stays away, poor old paget won't no what hit them hahaha!!!!!!!!!

White is definantly easier to keep clean! just buy one jono both are amazing

Big congrats to the earls who had their 32 photoshoot today car looked amazing!

Any King87 has the go ahead from HPI next time scotty is in mackay to have a fe shots of the car taken can wait

Haha cal, I wasn't driving, f**k that. Typing on an iPhone and doing 180kmph is suicide... Lol. my posts are a bit dodgy because of the iPhone, and it's convenient autocorrect sometimes.

Dysonest, I've got no idea what you are referring to.

Attn: R33 Owners, i will be having a mass clean of my R33 GTR very soon. A lot of rare and expensive goodies will be getting sold pretty cheap as I don't need that shit for a race car, when i get some free time i'll write a lil list up.

:O

I own an R33!

:)

the mafia u are a f**kin dickhead... do u read anything u post ??

atleast ur good for a laugh i spose

You still havent explained what this bullshit comment is about.

For the rest of you - I saw a couple of R35 GTRs doing laps, not that quick though as it rained a little.

Oh, and I saw a supra. It was moving very slowly past us. Slower than all the cars on the track. Oh, and I should add, it was on the back of a tow truck. ahaha.

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
