Just a quick update Finally got some dyno time and got on top of some little issues with the car.

I was having some boost controll issues that were holding me back in getting the tuning done.

I originaly had the motec running the factory boost solinoid wich turned out not to be up to the job. Borrowed a boost controller of a mate that and thougt that would have sorted the problem but the solinoid in that boost controller ended up being stuffed as well.So put the good old trusty bleed valve on the car temporarily and problem solved.

Ended up getting a preliminary tune up in the car the map is still a little bit fat and still need to trim the maps up a little but will get this done once the new boost controller goes in the car as no doubt the the boost curve will change once this is fitted so will need to fine tune everything to get the best out of it.

We got the boost up to around 20/21 psi with a safe tune in it the car is making 557.9 all wheel HP at 7100RPM. The RPM limit will be around 8500/8800 RPM. we didn't push it any further on the dyno as the car was starting to squirm around on the rollers a little but as can be seen on the dyno sheet the power was still climbing so I would estimate that it is probably in the vicinity of 580/590 all wheel HP at max RPM.

Will hopefully get the new EBC fitted and get it back on the dyno towards the end of the week or over the weekend and get a bit more boost into it as the HKS turbos only seem to really come alive and get into their eficiency range at around the 25psi mark going from previous experiance with these turbos. so hopefully will get some slightly better results once this is all sorted and the maps have been cleaned up.

So glad to finally be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel :) . Will have another update with a few pics of some nice new suspension parts in the next day or so as well.

F'N awsome Darren! Mat might get the idea to run some boost now.

Thanks for the comments guys I am looking forward to finnally getting a few laps in the car.

When are you going to be back up this way Richard will hopefully get a track day organized next time so yourself Mark, Russ, Myself and a few other tuff GTR's can all have a bit of fun.

Strik3r do come and say g'day mate I think i saw your car but didn't get a chanvce to chat with you at not the last track day but the one before that. I was driving the grey R32GTR rego 26R32. Will look forward to having a chat.

Nice to here mate give me a bit of notice to check out available track days. Morgan Park would be a bit of fun!.

Just a few pics of the RUZIC engineering EM PRO2 installed and some nice new suspension bits. Looking forward to giving it a bit of a shake down on tuesday will be taking it nice and easy though just want to make sure everthing is all good and keep the standard gearbox alive untill my carbon shaft arrives and i can stick the Getrag box in.

Thanks mate come and say hi. Will only be taking it easy just a shake down but should be fun anyway.

Yeah will do, i bought a rb26 inlet setup from you about 18 months ago. I will be taking it pretty easy myself having only done one track day before and ive changed a fair bit since then so ill have to feel it out a bit

how good are the ikeya front LCAs dazzmo? they are THE front LCAs to get. a much better design over others that just mirror the factory ones. and how farken huge are the castor rods. they never look big in pics but in your hand they are about 1.5 times the diameter of most aftermarket ones, and the way they mount into the LCA is so much better. you'll love them. :P

Hey Richard the ikea stuff is definatley the go well worth the extra coin and as you said the lca castor rod combo is definatley the best on the market. Have fitted all the arms now and what a difference they make a bit harsh on a average road but awsome on the smooth stuff and turn is is a massive improvement. Lucky for me I got a good deal on all the suspension gear as it is generally pretty exy but one of the best bang for buck mods you can get for a track car as far as lap times go.

Will be good to catch up again for a chat tommorow Paul just hoping we get a dry line on the track even better if the rain clears up for us but it is not looking like it. At least for me I am just treating it as a test session as I wont be trying to set a lap time or anything. Will only have 7000rpm to play with as am trying to sort out a ref sync issue with the ecu at higher rpm.

Angus I am putting a Getrag 6 speed in the car just standard gear set as this should be more than up to the job. Just waiting on a carbon tail shaft to turn up (not an ACPT after the debacle from the last group buy) I have sorced it from another company in the states. Nearly all the tuff R34GTR's in japan either run a stnd Getrag or a Holinger so should be able to handle the power without any problem.

Nice! i have a 34 Getrag in my 32 and i love it!! you wont be disappointed i somehow scored a nismo imput shaft with mine (tho finding a clutch was a pain) i'm going for fairly big power when i get it back on the road, 450kwatw + i hope. i herd that the weak link is the synchro's, which i've gotten in contact with someone in the States for aftermarket synchro's, if i was to ever go down that route. (obviously you know its the same box for the supra)

I still have my acpt shaft here.. hopefully it fits when the time comes! what a shit fight that was to organize...

cant wait to get it all together d day is approaching!! thanks for keeping me inspired!!

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
