You'll basically have boost at idle. :thumbsup:

My GTSS's come on well and truly be 3000-3300rpm from what i can gather... too busy watching the road as its all over the place

And thats with the stock management still. No tuning or anything.

On a 3ltr... it would be somewhere in the 2000rpm range id imagine. Would be very torque filled but i'd imagine would die in the upper RPM somewhat

Cheers thanks for that do you think theirs any way I will achieve 300rwkw?

Theyd be good without being great. It would drive like a naturally aspirated motor :P

Id be itching to use that displacement to full effect with some 2530s though. Sell the ss's for 2k and put that towards something else perhaps?

........Then again i just saw youve got a vl.

If its an SL auto then 300rwkw is more than enough for some lightning times

More power creates more traction issues obviously

My car weights in around 1400kg's or so, if it was a 1250kg VL... jebus.

I was told the car will feel like a 3.5ltr N/A, and it honestly does. Very strong.

Whats the use of the car?

That will have some gauge on what you want/dont etc.

More power poses a problem in a way, depends how linear it is. Light-switch style is harsh as its just all over the place from nothing

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
