I was going through some videos on Youtube and I came across this little piece........if you are a hardcore fan of skylines then I'm sure you would seen the famous Battle Royale between the tuners. The famous battle between the Mines 34 and MCR 34, well, I didn't know their rivalry ran this deep. This would've been back in the late 90s and it certainly brought back a sense of de ja vu. That and the recent get together of their R35 really got me thinking, will the MCR lose to Mines AGAIN?

I feel this video is too special to just throw in the youtube section(oblivion), I just think that us die hard fans should learn a bit about the history behind it all.

Its not de ja vu! it will really happen . . . MCR is kinda slow this days . . .But they will work on it for sure!

wouldn't exactly call MCR slow considering they came with in milliseconds of beating the Mines GTR, just never happened until now. But then again, the 1.01 lap time in the R35 was by Tsuchiya and on a stock car. So I hope they have better luck this time around.

And the fact that the main policy behind MCRs cars is to make the fastest street car with all the options eg: Air con,sat nav,leather and cup holders lol

Other tuning companies take all this stuff out.

the poor bastard has been trying to surpass mines for years now. Here's a theoretical situation, if Mines took their car to the Touge Grand Prix, who would come out on top?

Currently, MCR hold the titles being the only GTR in the top 8 or something. How would Mines fare?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
