I have dynoed my 09 GTR ADM - its putting out 295.5 kilowatts at all four wheels.

The Jap Spec car on the same dyno (at Croydon Racing Developments) put out 310 kw

Why the difference?

Because the ADM is running 12 psi boost, the JDM (stock) is running 15 psi!

That is why Jap cars are recording 0 - 100 in 3.3 seconds

My HKS 570 kit will be installed in a week. I look forward to bringing you the numbers...

hmmm only 14.5kw difference? thats nots too bad.

also this your car? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4615239

will be interesting to see the gains after the kit is installed.

Why would Nissan Oz do this - we have same quality fuel in Oz now, and there is simply no excuses to de-tune our cars. I call BS.

PS: 14.5kW is not little, its a fair ammount. Is it possible that 08 model had higher boost, compared to 09 ADM's.

Well 14.5kw is about 4.5% - i've seen that sort of variation merely due to weather in some cars. I dont think it's that much really. Still, if the boost is clearly down, that is black and white i guess. thanks for posting the results, much appreciated! :)

Why didn't you go with the HKS GT600 kit? Are you doing the rest of the Exhaust as well?

Cheers

kit availability, price etc. The 570 kit is a pretty bare minimum mod. One could look to turbos, coolers, brakes, suspension etc down the track. I will use a Cobb custom tune as well. Not that keen to fork out the big bucks for a rear exhaust yet...will see what gains the 570 system makes without the rear system (plus don't need the extra noise), and then decide.

I reckon the 570 plus cobb tune without the rear exhaust will be a nice mod that unleashes the potential of the car without being too crazy.

A little off topic here but I have a question for the R35 GTR owners... How do the R35 GTR's compare to the earlier model GTR's as far as being a drivers car goes?

One of the best driving experiences in a GTR ive had was in a lightly tuned R32, the balance and response of the car and how easy it was to control once the car was pushed beyond the traction limit of the tyres was inspirational. Pushing it past understeer into power oversteer balancing throttle and steering etc. My R34 comes very close and will hopefully be as good as if not better with a few alterations I am working on.

I recently saw the new Jeremey Clarkson film called Thriller, and he doesnt like the GTR at all. He tends to lean to ferrari and the lambo's, but I cant help but think he just isnt a good enough driver to push the limits of the R35 GTR. They didnt show him geting the car sideways once on that film.

So I was wondering, how does the R35 GTR feel when pushed to the limits of traction and beyond?

the 35 is every bit a drivers car. you just have to understand it has much higher limits than most and drive accordingly. turn off all TC/ESP and enjoy. It's very easy to slide and great to balance and steer it on the throttle. You can hold nice long, high speed slides in it and even pluck gears mid-slide without un-balancing the car. sure on road you don't get much sense of it as you can't sanely drive i fast enough to get it moving around, so in that respect on road you could argue a honda DC2 type R is more of a drivers car, or a 2 litre 1984 alfa GTV, BUT get the 35 on the track where you can exploit it's strenghs and it's character comes out. you just have to squeeze it a bit. :action-smiley-069: steering is very comunicative, the engine is super responsive and the chassis does what you ask of it, with good pads and rotors the brakes are great too. it has all the boxes ticked really for a good driving experiece. and i'm a hack and I still find them easy to slide around. just ask russ! lol.

My old 2l. Alfetta GTV gets a mention in this company??? Woot!

Pity my exhaust manifold had a sneaky habit of unscrewing from the block!

Pity the rubber Uni joints would crack every 30xxxKm

Pity my Alfa Romeo Umbrella would form abrasion holes after what ....10 outings??? wtf lol

I had my car 'Endrust' treated the day after I bought it = No rust when I sold it lol

THIS CAR TAUGHT ME THE ART OF PERSEVERENCE! ;)

I would have expected more than 14.5kw difference for 3 psi boost.

why? if the turbo's are already at the limit of their compressor efficiency (highly likely given Nissan obviously wanted the target power with the lowest transient response times possible), winding in 25% more boost isn't going to add 25% more power due to the fact the tiny wheels just rapidly start heating the air (and lowering the charge density) instead.

Guys...one thing to remember...every engine is hand built, you will get "strong" engines and also "weaker" ones. the 14.5kw is nothing.

i really doubt it- given the quality control and ultra-high accuracy of the tolerances, i'd be surprised if you saw factory-spec VR38's running outside of + or - 5hp at the fly when tested under identical engine-dyno conditions

I agree with Shawn. The whole point of hand assembly in climate controlled rooms is to achieve a high degree of repetition in tolerances. When something measures up out of spec it goes into the rubish bin as a rejected component.

Now if it was australia that was making the R35 you wouldnt want an engine that was built on a monday or a friday. Hopefully that wont apply to the R35 being built in japan.

And thanks Beer Baron, I suspected Nissan had just raised the bar with the R35. Clarkson probably wasnt game to push the car to ITS limits because of the neck injury he got when test driving the R35 in Japan.

Well on the weekend at the ATC held in Vic there were 2 dead stock ADM R35 GT-R's that when both used LC in Auto R/R/R over an 800m drag on the Holden Proving Ground Speed Bowl were nearly 1s different in times. Each car had 4 runs and all 4 runs for each car were basically exactly the same time BUT the 2 cars were around 1s different (and around a 10km/hr terminal speed difference). Car 1 did it in around 18.2s with top speed of 250km/hr and the 2nd car was 18.9s and 142km/hr.

So not all R35's are created equal even when comparing ADM v ADM let alone ADM v JDM.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
