nice car mate. would of thought you would have made it well in to the 400hp mark with the gt35 and 3 litre bottom end on 20psi

Yes, I am sure with a bit more timing that is quite possible. My tuner likes be conservative with his tunes. The car previously had a stock 25 in it with the same turbo setup. Only 3 degrees of additional timing was added over the RB25 timing and the 3L runs about 8.2:1 compression. The head also has stock camshafts.

wot boost is the car tuned to and wot power is it making? cheers

Tuned to 20psi and made 373rwhp. The motor was bought last year from a guy who had it in his VL commodore. The owner said no expense was spared on the engine build and he had it tuned for 24psi with a T66. The dyno graph showed 640rwhp. So I am confident the motor has more potential in it. Ultimately I achieved what I wanted from the setup so had no reason to lean on the motor.

Cheers

hmmm no expense spared on the motor.... stock rods pushing 640hp thats a bit of a worry. hows that fuel pump handle? herd the walbro's only have enough puff for about 240-250kw? wot did ur tuner say about the pump? who tuned your car? and do you have receipts for the rebuild? sorry bout all the question, I am interesed though, cheers

Yes, the owner supposedly spared no expense on the motor although he still used the stock head and cam shafts - go figure. I saw the 640hp power figure on a dyno chart but am not willing to comment on its authenticity or accuracy. In my experience there are many factors which govern the recorded performance of a car on a dyno hence the variations in power between different dynos. Needless to say a cars performance down the quarter mile gives a good indication of its potential. With the old RB25 motor and GT35R running 16psi (293rwhp) the car managed a terminal speed of 110.5mph (low 12s) despite the problems launching the car with the old suspension.

I did get some receipts from the owner of the engine but they only cover the machining work and engine assembly and show purchase of the ARP gear. The owner was quite willing to pull the head off to show the forged pistons although I didn't see this as a necessity given my ultimate goal of not more than 300rwkw. I was also told the block was O-ringed.

Walbro is great. I have provided it with a direct power feed thanks the battery now living in the boot. I expected the fuel pump to limit the power the engine made and would expect it to be close to its limit.

My cousin, Phil Laird, tuned the car. He is a well respected tuner in Australia.

The Electronic boost controller has 3 settings. Normal day to day driving I run on setting 1 which is 13-14psi.

Hope this sufficiently answers your queries.

Cheers

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
