Here we see the elusive GeeTeeTee trying to grab traction in the wild

:rofl: I even read that in the narrators voice lolz

Faster than a speeding billet, leaps tall culverts in a single bound: look, it's a bird: it's plane: it's SuperMat!!!

(Now that's Sigworthy Mat!)

Tempting :yes:

Car looks nice Peter.

Smoking it up as always Mat.

Haha looks like a couple of tv shows in the making :)

Always ;) I worked out straight line standing starts are not my thing, i better practice cornering instead lol

I guess before I said something about Rego plates I should have put my car on the post , so here it is :unsure:

I will swap for your RED one , it is stunning :wub:

I hate my car atm so its all yours haha

I just noticed you dont seem to have a front or rear diffuser on your GTR does this mean its a non v-spec?

Yes, it is not a V-spec, I asked a couple of times on different posts about this and also asked if I take the logo off , will it stuff the paint up.

Just had one reply so far that said if I use a heat gun/dryer that I should be able to take it off without damage???

I do not want bullsh@t on my car, it was there when I bought it, probably added a few $s for DHs like me, but I did not know any better and if I did would not have cared, just loved the Rs, it will be my last car and I intend to enjoy it :yes:

Next week this car will be around 370KWAW as a daily , it should have much more response and kick in about 3k , the motor has enough internal mods to take it to 800HP with a new fuel system , so I do not think I need to boast by putting a BS logo on the back bumper, sure do LUV it , do I have to take it OFF :blush:

OK I will take it :action-smiley-069: Just love to put it in my lounge room :wub:

I took the front and back diffusers off as they are useless for a DD , cannot get up my driveway :no: I also cannot lie straight in bed :woot:

Will post the new Dyno readouts next week , has to be better than this

Sh@t, just wrote a long post and lost it in cyber space, BUT I said I would have taken any of the Rs, I loved the look, the history of this machine and its ability to be Modified :wub:

I said I would never buy a black car because they are HOT and get DIRTY when you just look at them BUT look like a million $s when clean, do not blink or you will miss the moment :woot:

I think I would like to change the wheels, like the black but I think a little bling looks good down low, any suggestions :action-smiley-069:

Black is a good look and I got to luvit, but I think I would prefer to change the rims but running out of $ so that might be a while , maybe I they will grow on me :yes:

Lowering it, funny you should say that, when I have been driving around 3 or 4 blokes gave me the :thumbsup: but signed me to lower it, now you have got me looking at it again, haha

I asked at the shop when I dropped it in about lowering it and he said it is not far off legal now , is it 100mm to the lowest point? I know it is higher than my 350GT because I can get up my driveway easier in the R34. I think there is a trade off between looks and bad road conditions??

Also, up here the potholes and lumps on the roads can be a pain and the road I like to drive the most is one of the worst , good straights and lots of windy sections but crappy road surface in sections and it changes all the time because they patch it , it rains and stuffed again :rolleyes: I have done 2 tyres on the 350GT on this road, bloody potholes :rant:

I will ask the shop how much can I lower it, the cops up here are pretty hard on some mods especially if they can see them :teehee:

Yes, it is not a V-spec, I asked a couple of times on different posts about this and also asked if I take the logo off , will it stuff the paint up.

yeah not too long on the heat gun just enough to soften up the glue (too much will dmg stuff and potentially warp the plastic if you go crazy)

Lift an edge and peel slowly re applying heat if necessary but probably wont need to.. If you want to be anal and can manage it some fishing wire will help get it off easier too

Will definately look alot better without it as its not a genuine sticker.

I've always wanted a set of diffusers but fark paying insane money for them! Goodluck with the retune, Joey has been telling me about it here and there

Thanks Dave , I will take the heat to it when I get it home next week. Fishing wire, you mean run it under the sticker after I lift the end? Why do they put this BS stuff on, just made me mad when I found out it is fake because I am worried about the paint trying to get it off :blush:

I have only found a couple of RED R3s on the web , one was in East Germany, Your pics were the best :thumbsup: was this a standard colour in the R3 range,only had one red car a TT300ZX , just loved it and a ton of fun :geek:

Joey has been a great help and being able to PM him made it easy for me as I know I have asked some dumb questions, poor Joe, haha. Getting help from you blokes has made it so much easier trying to get the results I am after, I will know if it worked out as expected next week and will post the Dyno results to get your collective input :thumbsup: More important I will tell you how it drives now as that is the test for me :happy:

I have had over 20 cars but never really got into them like this and I am enjoying it. It will probably be my last car, what a way to go out :banana: :banana: :banana:

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
