Your seat, I never saw you get out of the car you lazy bastard. :)

Why, eye's letting go in your senior years?

Hahaha ok ill stop

In related news there should be two more 400 club members in the next few weeks, one an r33 gtr and one an r32 gtr

I'm hoping I will be a member as early as this evening.

I better or I'll probably get shot for the way I've hijacked this thread. :)

I havnt seen the graph yet Mike but we didnt quite make it to 400 kw. We did achieve everywhere else tho. Itys boosting hard and early and has shitloads more power under the graph.

Will get the before and after graph posted up tomorrow when I head over to the workshop.

Apparently we have run out of turbo so i guess the 1.06 housing is the next step.

And 380 somethin kw's was the number.

381rwkw is the highest we could get it.

Yes Gervase the air temp sensor is on the wall and you know why it is.

The boost falls over in the top end as the housing on the turbo is just too small. 1psi pressure drop in the cooler and an identical line it follows.

14 degrees of timing added in places where it used to be 0.

Going to put the EGT's on tomorrow to see what time she'll run on Saturday. 4th gear is happy in the pants on the highway too

Sees 1 bar at 3450rpm and 24psi at around 3800rpm but the graph doesn't show it due to the curve in the corner when the gate tries to catch up

Nice work Noel.

Did u change much to gain the extra midrange or was it tuned stronger compared to the other dyno graph that its comparing too?

We changed a fair bit Jez, Its a new head and a new fuel system running e85.

Its a work in progress and the goal is to hit the track next year with a fat 550/600 hp with the emphasis on fat. Piss easy to get that power with a bigger turbo but that isnt what I'm after.

The power chase will have to go on the back burner for a while now as I have too much other shit to do to the car.

In the mean time we will explore turbo options, I'm thinking a split pulse 1.06 rear housing for the 35r or possibly even a twin setup.

Still a great achievement there Noel. Its the response thats going to help out the most. Good Work!

Agreed mike, As you know that has always been the goal. I am stoked with the result.

We knew after the last go round that the turb would hold us back

, the 35r has its limitations with the smaller housing but it has made the path a lot clearer for us now.

Yeh I cant think of too many ways of achieving the 550/600rwhp mark with a gt35r, maybe a good split pulse manifold for starters, some wilder cams, though that will no doubt make the power more peaky which isnt really where you want it, but if you dont lose any low-midrange power then I wouldnt complain. Another possibility is one of those forced performance turbos with the billet comp wheels. However they are pretty exxy. And well a stroker of some description would definitely help with everything!

I'm hedging my bets on a split pulse setup. I wont change the cams. for the reason you mentioned,

If the split pulse setup can keep the response roughly where it is and give us another 50/60 ponies it will be more than enough to scare the crap out of this old man.

    • You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎  
    • Good work, and thanks for posting up your solution for future people!
    • Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned. 
    • To what gain?
    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
