JAGR33 - ahh yeah now i remember you saying you nearly bought my car...

Yeah Bens a wizard

Are you planning any mods?

Ferni, you must be thinking of somebody else, I already had my GTR when Dean was selling his....

Yeah there are 'a few' mods lined up for the near future, don't wanna say too much right now.....

No way man... about 6500-7000rpm launch...

Ahh okay fair enuf. I've done pretty much all the mods I can to the car without upgrading the turbos (pretty much same as you except I have a powerFC), and I would be very interested to see how it goes on the 1/4 mile now. I'm getting 210kw @ all wheels on a dyno dynamics on 1.2 bar....

When I first ran the car relatively stockish I would do 6500/7000rpm launches and it wouldn't bog down and would launch beautifully, but now with more power and a twin plate I get some wheels spin in launch and also shifting into 2nd. Do you get this as well?

I'm hoping for a flat 12 too... :)

Yeah changing the clutch to a nismo twin plate was a big difference to the standard one, bites much harder, causing wheelspin and chirping between gears....

You should be able to get a flat 12, let us know how you go!!!

Cheers

Yes the clutch has made a huge difference, its grips immediately... having a bit of wheelsping is okay I guess, I'm hoping it means that it won't be such a shock to the drivetrain.

Will post my results here when I run :)

Those are pretty impressive power outputs and impressive times.. i'm keen to take my car to the strip asap.

I have hks cat back exhaust, hks pods, hks intercooler, boost tweak to about 14psi by Ben (racepace), but i'm only pulling 203kw. Hope i can do 12's ...hahah :rant: Looks like i have to get Ben to work it more.

ferni> i was planning to check out dean's car.

still confuses me...i have a good clutch and get just enough spin to get the turbo's spooling and bam..I'm gone, chirp second and sometimes enven 3rd (on 17's, never on 18's)

the runs feel smooth, full bosst the whole run and no 12 flats for me......sniffle sniffle

I have recently bought a r32 GTR

I have removed the boost restrictor

You guys all think it is already a 12 second car?

Its got twin air pods and full 3 inch HKS exhaust?

Will I break my gearbox if I dumped the clutch 100s of times I am scared it will break.

With these mods and a 15 year old car you think the gearbox will still handle the power?

WIll I LUNCH my box at all on 8000rpm Launches?

nicknismo,

From what you are saying, you are hooking up well, your 60 goot times suggest this, and having a good clean run. Unfortunately your best mph suggests you do not have enough power to better your ETs a great deal. How agressive are you with your gear changes...?

That 240kw dyno run might have been in shoot out mode and/or the tuner might have pegged it back a little for safety.

IGOAPE,

I've never heard of anyone breaking their box, running the factory turbos.

Stock turbos:

Exhaust, Filter, Clutch, (removed boost restrictor)

12.2 @ 112

Exhaust, Filter, Clutch, Oil cooler, ECU, FPR, 18psi

11.6 @ 118

(turbo did not last long afterwards.. not recommended to run over 14psi.)

As above, all my R32's that have had stock turbos, exhaust, filter, and the restrictor removed have run consistent low 12's. With a stock clutch it killed it quick however.

If it's not doing that.. then there is either something wrong, or you are driving like an old woman. :(

Stock turbos are well designed and have minimal lag.. that you will loose when going to a steel wheel upgrade like the T28s which will not improve 1/4 times unless they are pushed harder.

Okay lads,

Just got back from WSID (Wednesday 31st March) from a private test session I had booked. The R33 GTR ran 11.82 at 115mph (1.74 60ft) after I made a few tweaks to it. Here is the gear I was running.

turbos - stock set at 1.25-bar

intercooler - stock

injectors - stock

fuel pump - stock

engine - stock

ignition - stock

ECU - Impul (non adjustable)

air filters - HKS pods

Exhaust - HKS dumps and 4-inch (by Liverpool exhaust)

Cam gears - HKS

Boost controller - Turbo-XS bleed valve

Fuel - VP Racing Motorsport-103 (105RON)

clutch - Nismo twin plate

Power output - 249kW at all four on Premier Auto's dyno dynamics dyno - same day

tyres - Falken FK-415 275/30 - 19-inch

suspension - Whiteline 24mm rear sway bar, rear bushes for control arms and cradle mounts.

There you have it lads - a genuine 11 second pass with a near stock GTR, which included full trim and bloody heavy 19-inch wheels! Am I stoked?

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

See it all on the Car Crazy DVD released in May.

Damon

too agressive a gear change and you could end up with my current expensive problem.... 3-4th gear syncro failure :(

my rev limiter launches resulted in lower 60ft times, but I think part of that may have been from heat soak due to back to back runs.

Stock turbos:

Exhaust, Filter, Clutch, (removed boost restrictor)

12.2 @ 112

Geez 18psi boost??? that's far too much for stock turbos...

Unfortunately one of my turbos decided to call it a day on the friday night at calder, which probably explains why i couldn't break an 11, and also on sau dyno day on sat was surging and stuggling to crack 200rwkws...

It must be really tired now because as soon as my car hits boost, the power is not there like it used to be...

Oh well, looks like the new turbos i got are going on much quicker than i thought!!!! :)

Yeah sure, I know Dean very well and know the car you bought from him, that's how I know they're very identical....

Gotta love the 'Ben Special Tune'.......

When your ready to race at calder just PM me, we'll meet somewhere.....

hey jack, u bought a new watch yet.

fernis got 8kw on you and i got my money on his car, u cant even break into the 11s, u girl :P

fernis got 8kw on you and i got my money on his car, u cant even break into the 11s, u girl :)

I'm a girl?? Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and take your 'veilside' GTR to calder, and let's see what numbers you can come up with!!!

Hey I would have had a good chance if one of my turbos didn't pack it in.....

12.000 @ 114mph is oh so close to an eleven, I should have taken out the sub box, spare tyre and jack, that would have done it....

Your a cunny funt :)

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
