Hey everyone!

My GTR's back on the road with a respectable power figure now, and ive got a lot of people to thank who have helped in either a small, or a huge way to the rebuilding of my car - so here's the list in no particular order;

Norm

Norms parents

Amy

Slide

Steve (UK)

Andrew (Hearne)

Andrew (Norms mate)

Sh@un

Dave TO4GTR

Anna

Nathan (DRIFTER) 02 Autosports

Greg Autosport engineering

All the guys at Powerplay

South coast rotary (thanks heaps junior!)

Simon and John Westmore for all the welding and tricky bits

Rocket Industries

LJ

Angry Liz

Jess

Victor

Nick (INTUNE)

Duncan

If there's anyone ive missed im sorry - its been a very long build!

So - the result? 476hp at the wheels on 21psi. Stock cams and cam gears not dialled in

Really, really nice to drive, its not a pig or a dyno queen . Its pulls very hard from 3800rpm to 7000rpm where the revcut is set to, so its sort of like the stock twin turbo setup but more power and more torque.

On the way home last night it had zero traction in first, second AND third (remember, its awd). Last night on the highway, in 3rd gear, up a hill, on semi's - it had no traction whatsoever......and i love it! Shaun will no doubt post up what he thought in detail.

Next step is to add the big brakes, drop in some cams, dial in the cam gears then do the gearbox.

Smoky: You've got no chance, sorry ;)

Well worth the wait, See you all at the track on Saturday :mage:

congrats stevo

i wnna be just like YOU!

I don't see my name up there?? I'm pretty sure I've picked up old parts for you? haha!

I feel unloved

They're coming, ill do a decent photo shoot soon

Any chance you will be giving out the odd passenger lap on Saturday?

Yeah dont see why not, there's a few people keen to have a lap or two. Come up and say hi, wont be hard to miss

lol, sif put you on the list! You havnt helped, you've hindered :)

Bring your helmet on saturday ;)

EDIT: Ill ring you after work and ill come round quickly

You want to go in a car with 350rwkws with a driver who has been driving a stock supra and stock commodorre for the last 2yrs?

You are insane!

BTW - what made you choose SCR for the tune? Did your engine builder suggest them?

Oi, no laps for you / soup nazi voice

Ive driven it for a few weeks before stepping up to bigger power.

SCR tuned it the first time it was tuned, they dont just do the job, they ask if you're happy before doing anything, explain everything in detail, ask exactly what i want done, dont mind me watching what they're doing, and they open when i need them open - plus they're great guys down there, really friendly and helpful. So it was back to them for this tune, and the next one (whenever that is) will be there

Yeah dont see why not, there's a few people keen to have a lap or two. Come up and say hi, wont be hard to miss, ill be the one getting lapped :D

Yeah i figured that, but what made you choose them in the first place? after all SCR stands for South Coast Rotaries. not South Coast RB's :D

:happy:

lol, my car is faster in the wet than yours will ever be in the dry :)

Im coming around to yours tonight, its on biatch!

Nice work Stevo, got the new bonnet over the mighty 30 yet? picsorban?

Nah mate :(

Looks like a z tune vent will be the go - tried a CF one and tried a fibreglass one but thats a no go on both! Very suprised the CF one didnt fit

Yeah i figured that, but what made you choose them in the first place? after all SCR stands for South Coast Rotaries. not South Coast RB's :P

I went there for the first tune cause they were the closest from the place i picked the car up from when it had the first "batch" of mods done, and they worked out for this tune aswel - perfect timing and great service, cant say no to that!

What happened??

congrats on getting the car back on the road :)

how long has it been?

Rings on number 6 were stuffed, heaps of blow by under long periods of hard load (eg the straight at OP GP) and the oil kept on being sent out the dipstick, when we pulled it down it was a good thing we did, bearing on 6 was about to let go

Been a tad over 2 years

Lazy.

I was so lazy i bought a twin turbo supra to keep me happy in the interim cause it was easier to spend 20k on a supra than 20k on gtr parts.......but still bought the gtr parts

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
