r32gtrboss "Just how 'lightly' is your GT-R tuned mate?"

My mods well I consider it light anyway

GeeTR: thats cool we all have different experiences

" thrashed a stock XR6 for months, and pumped quiet a few stock 'looking' R's. Like i said, while there still deciding what to do, what gear to chuck it into, how much boost to dial up onda Uleh EBC, the FalcoShite has already kicked down and laying 500nm (on the track of course)"

One must always be prepared for the infidels. Only one Boost setting, always in the right gear, always vigilant...oh and :yes: to you too lol

lol @ pumped a few R's... u sure they were R's?

They had R and Vtec badges, that means its one yah? haha

and i DONT believe u have tracked ur xr6t because im a regular tracker and an xr6t doesnt even keep up with my shitty civic around a track. its not about power either, its the fact that theyre are barges.

I was being fictitious, course i meant on the street. One is always prepared on da track. My comment on them being quicker, only applied to real world street situations where you can get caught out when in a revy hi-po import. 8k RPM clutch dump from standstill will beat most things. Same result with ATTESSA and entering apex's.

Hahahaahaha - I like.

xr6s will never come close to a gtr stock for stock, or with both had 10k spent on them,

sure the r32 gtr may have a few problems but you comparing an almost new car to an 18 yr old car,

i never remember the gtr having diff, gearbox ectt... problems.

The XR6 will be more practical and that’s it, the bloody things will weigh in at near enough 2 tonne with driver and passenger. It makes power but it needs a lot more of it then a gtr to get moving, same for torque. I can’t imagine hauling that much weight about will be economical for fuel either. At the end of the day if you want a lazy, fastish car that’s comfortable to drive then you can’t get much better then the xr6 for the money. If you want something that will excite you however it’s the gtr all the way. Only the people who have driven these things in anger can understand its brilliance

If you are actually going to use it as a ute... get the xr6t

If you want new car... get the xr6t (or budget more for the GTR)

If you want one of the best street cars in existence.... GTR all the way

Im running alot less power as Mr Keets, and I've chopped an xr6t after he caught me of guard(out of happy zone)... it wasn't slow, the R was just that much quicker.

And remember as soon as you start dialling in more power, the GTR will be more drivable in comparison due to AWD grip... nothing worse than a car with half the power thrashing you because you can't stop the wheels from dutching up :laughing-smiley-014:

Quote of the year... straight to the pool room with you :thanks:

stock for stock a GTR will have no troubles, rolling start or standing start... have done it many times in a stock GTR (my previous stock 33R ran 13.1 at 104). lightly modded sees them in the 12's easily, hell my GF lighlty tunned 180 has handed it to xrts before. xr6t is more comparable to GTT stock for stock.

Go for the gtr; considered 33R? bit newer, roomier and easier to drive on a daily basis.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
