Sam, you already know what I am gonna say :)

[whisper] Oo GTR oO [/whisper]

NB. you have time on your side, test a few, get up close & personal. Probably not a whole lot of 34 gtr's in the country to test but plenty s15 - perhaps the answer lies in that comment ;)

i'm trying to decide whether to get a R34 GT-T or Apartment/House. As everyone has been telling me, be smart get a place. Have you thought about getting an apartment/house etc?

haha I should buy an investment property, but alas, my balls are bigger than my brain so Im gonna get the car first....if ur smart u will get the apartment, then a car...but hey I wouldnt do it that way

haha, its all a matter of convincing my dad that a GTR wont be my coffin

Horus... BNR34!!! NOOOOOOOT THE S15!!!

id take a R34 GTT and save on insurence & worry and still have lots of money left for mods... the GTT with a C-WEST kit and ADVAN MODEL 5 rims looks sweet :)

up to you... ;) bye bye

fnck that, it between gtr and s15. if he wanteda gtt it would have been between gtt and s15. besides if your losing awd, may aswell get an s15. could go full dorift and get s15 front on a s14, dont see that combo too much.

Have power restrictions come in somewhere in Aus? I heard whispers they are contemplating doing it here in SA :) ..... how in hell would they determine your power though???

/imagines

Copper: Excuse me sir, but I think your car has over xxxkw power - here have a canary

Driver: wtf how can you have any idea how much power it has?

Copper: I don't need to KNOW son, I think, therefore I AM .... muahahahahahaha you have 12 hours to reduce your power output, have the car on the police dyno and approved by the Nazi vehicle testing centre. Oh and here's a $500 fine 'cos I think you might be a hoon and would do heaps of burnouts and drag people everywhere you go.

Driver: /sells nice car and buys a $300 rust-bomb-no-brakes datto cos you get hassled less by the cops.

sam... jus play the guilt trip... give your dad shit for buying the merc. "You know dad you could have bought an jag, but noooooo u had to buy a merc, what made you come up with that decision?"

I dunno, jus get the GTR already, you know u want it, we all know you want it. If you're worried about hassles, buy a bomb to take to dodgy places, like a 1989 R32 GTSt. If you loose a drag, go home, get your GTR, and beat the mofo down.

sam engine wise and brake wise i'd have to say the skyline wins in those aspects. Even the 34 gt-t has better brakes, the engines speak for themselves. The sr20 in my opinion is one of the best four cylinder engines around although its not as tough as the rb engines. Watch high perfromance imports 3,4,5 and i think 6 coz they modify a 34 gt-t with a xaust, cooler, avc-r, boost and one the dynos just from that they are reaching 200rw kw's!

Ofcourse a gtr is better than gts-t but also make sure you think of the money you will save, and how worried you would be everytime you park the gtr and how pissed u'd be if it got keyed of something.

Just listen to the little man inside you and he'll tell you what to do!

my little mans an idiot! hehe

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
