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:

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
