Hi all,

Thought I might post this...mainly for a little bit of sound.

This is the first shakedown after a complete driveline fresh'n up......rev's were set to 7,000rpm and boost to 20PSI and we were on old slick's.

Timing was 1:05's which imo was not to bad considering we didn't even know we were doing that time!

thanks for sharing - what a beautiful gtr & just the way i remember it as a kid on tv.

what boost & power level were they running in its day (prior to restriction)?

how much weight was saved in its race form?

Hey Craig, are you up this weekend? Are you bringing anything for me to drive?

yup....flying up Thursday.

I wont be playing though....Cazz had some last minute issues with the DR30.....pity because because this meeting is going to have some very quick cars. Dad will be running the GIO car again unless he meets with an accident!

@Marko....boost was set to 26PSI(ph34r.gif) with 8,500rpm in the 90/91 "apparently....but these motors are stupidly strong so who really knows what they did. Power level I would prefer to keep quite.....let's just say it's more than enough....weight is about 1,320kgs from memory.

Stumbled across this...anyone know who was piloting the R31?

I was there, the R31 was by far the fastest thing out there but he just couldnt keep it on the track with moves like that, he went of 2 or 3 times in that race and they also he to do a drive through (i guess to replicate a pit stop) when he got on it at the top of the exit leaving the pits it died, he rolled all the way down and onto the track and almost came to a stop before he got it started again, its an awesome car to watch and they will be back at sandown at the start of november.

what an amazing car & the pinnacle of all gtr's - case closed!

i came across this clip 2 weeks ago by accident & circulated it amongst my friends - such a beast.

JEM made a comment "We don't know engine specs all we know if thats a Gibson built engine. Turbo specs are similar to 2860 -5's but not identical"

do you have the same opinion in that the turbo's are closest to -5s if you were to match these with an off the shelf turbo?

442kw @ 1.4bar (only 20psi)...this is a true example of the R&D that went into this ATCC to make this level of power with 'smallish' turbo's - simply gobsmacking :worship:

What fuel is it running these days? I suspect that is was more power then they had in the day. Is it truly 1991 Spec?

Sunoco 260GT is the fuel we are running.........back in 91 the power levels were not that much greater than in 92.....in fact I have heard that the 92 tune was a lot more drivable and safe!.....we are not planning on running the higher boost unless needed!

yes Roy....this is truly 91 specthumbsup.gif....Only difference is the fuel and ECU......we had to move away from the original ECU as we could not source someone to do us new chips.....we would have stayed with the original one if we could have as it was a very good unit.

Thought I might add that this is the last of the GMS motors and it was brand new!....pity they did not supply the chips with it.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      At first I thought these were knock offs....

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
