cheers. Yeah hoping for something better next time lol. Trying to figure out the clutch is quite hard coz I only get to drive it at the drags atm coz i have no licence so its the only practice i get. cant wait for next ones though.

That MPH doesn't really refect to your Power for some reason!

Probably because I had wheelspin for half the track... All through first and second. I'm sure with some kinda slicks or even in 4WD, it will be quite a bit higher. Currently fixing the 4WD problem and will head out to the track next month hopefully.

generally speaking traction doesnt change the MPH too much chris.

in fact with a better launch MPH can often go down

Time shall tell though!

14s in a tuned GTR is pretty dismal. a stock GTR with just exhaust and some boost will run high 12s. and 60ft should be under 2 seconds not nearly 3 seconds. fix the 4wd. at the moment a stock commodore would probably show you a clean pair of heels! :)

Yeah it would!

4WD is almost fixed and luckily for me there is another night time drags next friday night so hopefully I'll be able to make it out and record some decent times. Will of course keep y'all posted!

Well after finally getting the 4WD fixed, took it down and first run of the night gave me my best time of 12.9 @ 109mph with 1.95 60ft. Got better 60ft times but I either missed 3rd gear, or they didn't print the slips or someone took them... So for now its a 12.9. Hoping for more toward the mid 12's next time out unless I get around to getting a re-tune.

lol on 234kw with ku31 tyres, stock ecu and stock turbos.
turboback exhaust and 16psi boost. i ran 11.8 then 11.9 back to back.
excedy clutch. its not that hard if you can get your launch approach right with a correct setup ( Tyre pressure and suspension )

Epic thread revival, but you reaction says it all!! What 60ft did you get? I was pretty happy to get 12.7 on similar setup with a 1.6 on shitty Nexens

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
