Who knows what sort of driver Greg Johnston is, but I bet he's havin' the time of his life! It's the first GTS-T I've seen in the event ever, and I watch it closely every year. Lots-o-rain on first 2 days so the 4 wheel drive cars have a huge advantage. Today's results have been postponed until tomorrow but check out Leg 1 (yesterday) or each indiv stage of Leg 2 (today) for a look at how it's faring. Seems to be comparible to the Integra Type R in pace so far.

There are two factory XR6 Turbos in the race, one driven by Hoinville that is moderately warmed over, and a fairly stock one with the MOTOR Editor Taylor, at the wheel. They're both doing quite well. Most of the factory cars (like McConville in the new Astra Turbo) seem to have the GUN drivers though, so I'm not sure what sort of a guide the whole thing is. Pretty interesting though. The GTS-T is car no.832. You gotta be envious of these guys!!! Open, winding, clean and testing roads, short bursts of speed, sponsored tyres and fuel (mostly!), few regs, and no SPEED CAMERAS!!! I'd give my last freckle...

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.

      Nissan Skyline R34(ER34) Front Suspension Noise

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
