You wont hit the limiter in 5th but i certainly hit redline in 4th and it was still going. God knows what the speedo was reading. Everything was happening so quickly.

You're doing about 190km/h indicated at approx 6000 rpm in 4th. The limiter is 7x00 rpm in a 35.

I just watched my video of myself doing it again to make sure.

meh, bit of artistic licence never hurt anyone... too much. lol

"The delivery of the power took me completely by surprise and as i went up through 4th and 5th and into 6th, i was beginning to think i needed to show the car a bit more respect. I changed gears instinctively but the GTR drew me into reaching for the redline in each change"

"Shifting up into 5th and then into 6th from around 80kph takes only a few seconds. I wasn't even 100% aware i was shifting at its 7000 rpm redline, thanks to the sensory overload going on infront of me,"

I must admit when I read those two passages I was a bit wtf?!? ;) but didn't want to say anything lest I be accused of having it in for you. I don't care really. I don't doubt at all you drove it. and well done, you certainly beat me to it. but I'm not so convinced on the whole redlining the gears part of the story...

Im going to have to have another crack at it just to be sure then, wont i? ;)

I wanted to play with the gear settings on the multi readout that night but there just wasnt enough time.

I think he must have his gears mixed, he said he was doing 65kmh and just over 2000 rpm in 6th. Unless he meant he was in 4th , thats closer to the mark.

Changing your Avatar is inexcusable ! :)

mate i would have loved to have kept it but some out there in cyberspace were putting pressure on the mods to have it changed - Do it for the children!!..sooo..i didnt have a choice really.

I dont know what the big deal was with it anyway..there wasnt even any nudity in it. Just a chick with an ipod and yep, well she did have nice boobs...not that you could see em or anything... Anyhoo..

must have been the unbuttoned fly or something?

Great read and vids, lucky so and so.

You get to drive the R35 ya bastard !

Good onya :(

Had a bit of a laugh at the "long legs" comment.

Couldn't stop thinking of South Park...."You have very big peeeeeenus"

The whooshing of the wind and the slight whine of the turbos at 1.2 bar of boost as you're approaching the wrong side of the "law" is simply addictive.

Just wondering you say 1.2 bar but when I read the official specs it says the turbos deliver 10.5psi? 1.2 bar makes more sense but just want to know if you or anyone else can clarify. Btw good read

He made a mistake. The R35 GTR peaks at 0.7bar. Around 10.5psi. (I think he added the other half a bar from what he had in his pants)

I made a quick video of the MFD in full screen boost gauge mode while i ran up through a few gears but i cant be bothered to upload it... Just take my word for it :/

Cheers mate, since initially reading 10.5psi I have been wondering what power it would make at 1.2bar or more with stockers. (edit before some smart arse comments) That is once modders crack the factory ecu

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
