what mods you got mate?

HSD Coilovers

Strut bars

Poliurithane bushes throughout

Clutch

Fixed back bucket

32 GTR rims

CAI

Headers and full exhaust + cat guts punched out

Lightened driveshaft

Advanced timing

Then random things like steering wheel, gear knob..

Front disks are on their way out so here I come slotted and drilled + Ghetto brake duct mod!

Hahah really?

Man i have seen 1 R32 aye.. and it was a white GTR.

I never see any lines when im down at work :(

yeah i see it when im leaving work on lane cove just before epping road haha

how much power is your car putting out GTS4WD ?

nice mods :D

Gave my automobile a wash today and decided to take a few of pics of it

Needs a new set of wheels desperately, looking for 33gtr's

Looking nice and clean. If you do go for new wheels consider offset as one of your highest priorities. I clean mine maybe once a month lol, she's rough as so I really cbf.

how much power is your car putting out GTS4WD ?

nice mods :)

Cheers mate,

Id be surprised if it pulls 110kw at all fours..

I rather save the money id spend on a dyno jut to be disapointed :D

A little more power would be nice though :)

BTW: ShanO' nice 34!.. Theres something about four doors that just looks PHAT!

Heres my muppet, was untidy in this picture, hasn't had any external love for a while, though it's lined up for a full body respray, in a similar blue, bit more metallic, brighter pearl, etc.

mods are RB30DE (25/30) don's old engine, pulled 151rwkw as it was (with only a couple changes - a/f mix, timing, y piece). Now nothing like that, whole engine has been appart, head done, cams adjusted, mines ecu, fujitsumoto (sp) 3" extractors and mandrel exhaust, fpr, bosch 023 pump, 370cc injectors, AFC neo, increased compression to 11.5:1 running methanol blend. (thats as it was at the drags) Engine currently undergoing a deck shave to as far as possible, to hopefully take CR up to 12.5-13:1, removing hot spots etc. Combining this with full time water/meth injection, and a microtech ecu - for pump fuel and high ign timing and compression and lean a/f mixtures, plus a 90mm tb and ff plenum with cold air ram straight from the plenum through where the battery normally sits (wont get heated by exhaust etc) plenum is insulated to stop heat soak from coolant, and has an insulated spacer plate as well, so it is always icy cold... Car has temp controlled elec thermo fan, 52mm triple core alloy radiator, silicon + high temp/pressure hoses with hd clamps for high pressure. Still trying to decide on whether or not its worthwhile balancing the bottom end atm, i don't think it was ever done, the engine pulls hard and peaks at about ~ 6200rpm, and holds power until 7000rpm (where i wont rev it any further). It'll be a costly exercise to sent it away for proper balancing - still weighing yay or nay. I ultimately want to hit 250rwhp, which should easily be achievable i think.

other mods... interior's pretty schmicko, its a Ti so blue velor and full electrics, with manual conversion. It has Excedy HD organic clutch and billet steel flywheel, RB20DET gearbox, singlepeice tailshaft, 3.9 diff gears on locked diff, stock rims and tyres (for now, got some nice 16" BBS meshies on the way, cant wait) and stiff customs springs and shocks (and custom struts) full polyurethane bushes through out, HD front and rear sways and strut brace, weight has been moved around a bit, car sticks like shit to a blanket, it out handles me on the road (even with stock rims, good tires) - meaning it'll corner faster than i want to. Runs slotted and cross drilled DBA4000 disks and green stuffs pads with braided brake lines, never let me down, i'm not a fan of un-necessary braking power, It'l out power any tyres i give it and never experienced fade, the day i do ill upgrade. (bigger heavier brakes kill acceleration).

Drags it only got a low 14, only had a couple runs and temp was an issue (had to wind a lot of timing out of it and a lot of fuel into it) plus i couldn't get traction on take off, first gear was only good for ~ half throttle clutch slip. I've now got some exchange rear struts with taller soft springs and reasonable shocks for some squat for traction (combined with better wheels/tires) for a while down the track when it see's the strip again.

hah, cheers - yeah I've got some vids, nothing decent though

this one was filmed by the other guy at the drags, i just randomly found it on youtube. Its a test and tune drag day, and thats what i was doing, it was a hot day, and on my first run i heard detonation, so this is my second run, where i wound the timing back to ~ 5 degrees BTDC (retarded) and increased fuel a bit too much (esp in top end as you can see), i short shifted third and the car just bogged right down, thus the bad time. - Car had to sit in line for like 15mins which killed the temp on the bad cooling/intake system.

This one was filmed by my drunk girlfriend (lol dont ask) on her phone, i must have nicked the indicator (cant hear much with helmet) so i didn't realize it was on, lol - got it half way down the strip... This was one of my quicker runs, and was after lunch, the car had been left to cool a bit, had between 5-10 degree's ignition timing and still pretty rich

I love the first vid noise, you can hear how tame the engine is, half throttle and it just holds the revs perfect, mmm.... miss driving her...

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
