if his car is hard tuned....does that make mine a soft cock? Surely im right if things are all back to front these days.

Hey shane...dont go with your biased few on hard tuned gtr's and gtst's....i reckon they do compare and i think ours is proof of that...when its got its eye of the tiger going :P haha.

urs is a stripped out track car biatch, can we compare urs against, say giants? :huh:

P.S can i "borrow" ur dry sump setup? :happy:

if you want...on the national giants only a sec quicker and 2 on sprint...but next time we hit the track...we should be just as quick if not quicker....but i admit giants car is a very well setup beast.

No...the dry sump is MINE! Get your own. I can show you how to fit it up good and proper.

You will love the new 26/30's soon to be built...sporting t04z and a few other bits.

And the new gearset going into the box oh and autronic.

Series II,

You belong on boostcruising.com :)

Your replie's hurt my brain everytime i read them, and u ramble on about rubbish in ur posts.

Also, a 'hard tuned' gtst just doesnt compare to a 'hard tuned' gtr :laugh:

My GTST would eat most hard tuned GTR's. I'm running low 7's now.....on street tyres.

If you tastefully modify a GTSt for a track purpose instead of chasing XXXrwkw, you should be fine and have a ball. Hell, Jason has been doing it for years and has been quicker than most...

Here here. Skylines are pretty tough things, if you keep them very well maintained spend some dollars on suspension, brakes and cooling rather than chasing those big rwkw that you can't use on the street anyway, you can have fun thrashing around the track, down the quarter and at the skidpan without fear. I have only had a skyline fail me once and that was after picking it up from getting a full respray, for some reason the AFM decided to pack it in. . . . nothing really. I have done numerous trackdays at QR and Darlington Park, plenty of runs at willowbank and a few days on the skidpan and LVMA at Mt Cotton and soon Gympie, and have never had a problem.

Don't get me wrong I would love some big hp, then I could have some real fun I am sure, but then I am sure I would spend a lot more time off the road too as more hp means more stress on the engine and drivetrain and an inevitable failure. If you love driving you skyline then will be addicted after only one lap! Its great fun :happy: I highly recommend giving it a go.

And correction. . . . I am slow. . . .

I'm saving up for a parachute b4 I even attempt to hit the drag strip

It costs too much for me to go to Willowbank anyway....coz my traction level is so high it actually reverse rotates the earth on it's axis which turns back time. This is how I am able to run such quick times. The only downfall is that due to my high levels of traction, I tear up the bitumen and this has to replaced at my expense. If only I could find another way...hmmm.

Hey Andy, how did the new clutch go on that last 2 you pulled...she still running sweet. You know it's an NPC rebuild so Shane might get jealous that it didn't explode, causing your car to be written off in the process.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
