Hey s13drifter,

Yeap, my car has a completely stock motor, including stock turbos, injectors, fuel pump, intercooler etc.

I bought my car in September last year and drive it very hard. I go cruising once a week with a club that I am involved in and have atleast 2 or 3 runs on these nights......all of which involve 6000rpm dumps and then 8500rpm gear shifts.

The extra reving helps as you will then enter the next gear in the middle of it's power band. Even though over about 7850rpm my car starts to loose power, the torque of the GTR will keep it pulling to a certain extent.

I have recently upped the power on my car with a few mods and ran an 11.57 at Heathcote on Sunday.

The motor pulled 240rwkw on a the dyno that all the guys in Vic just had their cars done on and the motor is still very strong and compression is still up.

I am running 1.2 bar all day, everyday and do a good 500k's a week.

The GTR is a very strong car and can take a real beating. I am out to prove this!!

Shaun.

There is ONLY ONE import owner with a manual who doesn't worry me, and he's rarely on here.  You lot are mad!  Revving to 4000rpm all the time during normal driving!  THEN you complain about fuel consumption... :lol: whyyyyyy.  I think its because you are all so isolated and insulated from whats going on.

Unless gearing or conditions dictate otherwise, i shift at around  2000rpm now.  Hot or cold.  I used to go up to 3000rpm sometimes if i was in a bit of a hurry, to punch up a hill or something, but now im really povo (fuel), and plus, if im not going hard, its not fun anyway, just gonna wear the engine more.

funny thing is, the one import driver i mentioned has a modified Vspec.  Cuts sick on track days though.

This is a pet peeve of mine, if you hadn't guessed.

P.S. Used to own a 20,000rpm roadbike, at 6000rpm it was still doughy as poop. :cool:

hehe slip...it's YOU who I was talking about in my first post...i remembered you asking me about that, so i wanted to see what everyone else did :)

Just as matter of interest most of you are indicating that when cold you rev to a certain rpm only to protect the engine etc. What indicating factor are you using to determine when the engine is warm if you don't have a oil temp guage?

Hirisk,

that is excellent rwkw on stock setup other than i assume exhaust and 1.2 bar boost and a rev limiter removed. That's an awesome 1/4 mile (you must have changed the clutch to get that time?). Just a recommendation when doing your 6000rpm dumps try and have more than half a tank of fuel because the tank setup on the R32GTR can starve your pump of fuel on launching. If you could do a injector duty cycle reading u would find that it would be at max however the standard ecu will just retard timing to protect but you don't want to starve the fuel pump as there is no protection barrier there.

When cold i rev to 3500rpm

cruising 5000rpm

giving it... well limiter is set at 9000rpm and its a treat to use it

Cheers

when the engine's cold: i dont drive... i sit there & wait for it to warm up. even if im running late for something... it can wait. :cool:

when the engine's up to temperature: shift point for normal driving amongst the Excels & Commondoors is about 5500-6500

when im giving it some schtick: 9000 :)

I'm with most of you guys..

IN the mornings when cold, i try to keep it of boost and under 3,000 till its warm, then normal driving i keep changes between 3,000 and 4,000...

I dont like revving it to hard in first for some reason when i give it a bit...Probably only take it to 6,000 - 6,500, then take it to 7,000 in second n third, and as much out fo fourth (dam governors!!)

Hey INASNT,

Nope, my factory computer has just had the Rev and Speed limit removed. It has a "Yellow Hat" sticker on it which is a Jap parts company. It may have been remapped by them, I am not sure. But even if it has been remapped, it still runs at very similar mixtures than most stock GTR's that I have seen on the dyno. I am sure that it is just the Rev and Speed limit that is removed.

I don't have a fuel pressure reg either, all stock items. My injectors are right on their limit though and I am sure the turbos would be too.

Hey STUGTR,

Yeah, I have a Exeddy Diken Three Puck Single plate with heavy duty pressure plate. Awesome clutch.....has not let me down yet!!

You can see my mods here......

Thanks,

Shaun.

thanks for the info HIRISK i thought i was givin my motor a hidin goin to 8000rpm. What do you plan to do next to your car?? Mine has a single t51 but with a different front compressor housing slightly larger than the old t51 housing which mine is. I must say im not the biggest fan of it mainly due to the lag and the fact i can only run it at about 16psi when it should really be running bout 30psi but my stock internalls i dont think they have it in them for 30psi thats why i believe it is so laggy. Whats the price on that clutch mine is a single plate but is really modified i dont like it much as it is way too heavy heavier in fact than a friend who has a tripple plate:uh-huh:

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
