Hello,

I have recently purchased an R32GTR and at very slight throttle cruising at 100-120 the car surges and when it surges the torque gauge bounces very slightly from what looks like 3% to 5% My vaccuum reads about 2-4 inches of mercurywhen this is happening.

Also at cruise in a GTR is 2 to 5 InHg of vaccuum correct. I have owned 3 previous skylines all gtst's and 2 180's and at cruise they have all read 10-15 inches at 100-120 kmh. Is there that much diff between the RB25 and RB26.

Thanx in advance. Michael...

What is the rolling diameter of your tyres like front to back.. ie are your front tyres new compared to the back, different brand, different size?

attessa will be happier if you have the largest rolling diameter on the back. otherwise you will get surge, as it sees the rears turning faster than the fronts and thinks 'wheelspin whoopie'.

vacuum sounds about right, less than I expected as well.

I have 255 40 17 on rear and 235 45 17 on front. The surging isnt there when the vehicle is cold and its not there when the car has warmed up either unless i have accelerated hard. It seems to surge alot more after my first initial hard acceleration. If i am very easy on the throttle the whole time i drive the car it will hardly surge after i boot it. it starts surging. I have bled the system which made it slightly better but now my torque gauge reads at about 8 when cruising at 110 where as before i had any surging problems the gauge only read between 3 and 5. Any ideas.

Thanx Michael...

Your rear tyres have a smaller rolling diameter at the back compared to the front - that is probably one reason why this is happening. With more tyre wear on the rear, I would say there is at least 1% difference in front to rear tyre speed.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
