how to adjust the boost???

Get a quality GTR spec tuner to do it with a Cobb Access Port, and for real fun add an HKS 570 kit plus rear exhaust. Mine is being installed now. I've decided to add a T1R Sparrow rear exhaust for good measure. Should be good for 600 horsepower at the wheels. I'll know for sure in a week or so.

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.

Hmmmm.... So you know how Cadbury sell the chocolate that didn't pass quality control for ridiculously cheap prices......

I'd be happy to pick up a VR38 that was a little down on power for cheap!

No they send it to australia :(

could you just reflash the adm gtr with jdm ecu settings?

I not sure, you'd be in virgin territory there I think, you might as well just do the Cobb. Give Jim at Croydon Racing Developments a buzz, he'll be able to give you the options.

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...

same dyno, but no one has mentioned the same day or near the same time, or similar atmospheric pressures, temperatures, humidity ect...

Who knows, maybe nissan figured out that reducing the psi of the turbos by 3psi gave it much better response or something, or they figured that their is much less stress on the car as a whole with nearly asmuch power as having it run on 15psi. who knows...

Something is wrong here guys - we get bent over for the price of the cars thanks to the great tax system and protectionism for some retards that work at GMH or Ford Oz that probably drives a Hyundai himself. Get bent over for the money, then we get the least optioned vehicles around, or we get no options at all. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

PS: I'm just having a rant, sorry, I'm pissed off.

Places like malaysia have 200% import tax.....think yourself lucky!

So with a this 570kit + rear exhaust you are going to net 200hp more at all four wheels...........You are dreaming.

I don't think those tiny turbos can push that much air.

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's amazing how close the times were

4 different drivers in 3 R35s

although the JDM car is quickest (J B)

.

.........run 1.....run 2.....difference

A R.....20.06.....19.81-------.25

B P.....19.81.....20.00-------.19

M T.....19.21.....19.20-------.01

J B......18.56.....18.59-------.03

Nissan Australia are saying that they never claimed the Australian delivered car could run 0-100km/h in 3.5 seconds. I have a booklet produced by Nissan International which clearly states the 3.5 seconds for the 0-60mph (0-96.7km/h) test. Has Nissan mislead buyers with performance figures that the Australian GTR cannot achieve? The recent testing in Motor Magazine clearly shows this (June 09 issue).

Test results from the USA and Japan shows that the car is more than capable of achieving these times or better repetitively. I think the Australia cars have been detuned due to all the warranty issues they have had in the USA with transmission failures and making buyers sign the pre-purchase customer agreement with all the constraints/cavearts. We shouldn't have to buy and fit aftermarket performance equipment to get the performance we have paid for and promised by Nissan.

My new GTR arrives in Australia on 8th June 09 and I am hoping that Nissan Australia can make it the real “everyday Supercar” it is meant to be! I am sure Nissan can easily reload the improved ECU mapping required to get the performance they promised to buyers all around the world.

See the Youtube link showing Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn at the Nissan GTR launch in LA 2008 stating that the GTR is capable of 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds (at 2:40min mark in the video):

I understand where you are coming from, BUT if you are going to challenge Nissan AU, you will need a) Nissan AU published claimed performance times. Might be a silly question but do they exist??

And to be frank, after having done 5 track days since i picked the car up, the car is not really about 0~100 performance, there is just so much more to this car. I bought the car to get 911 turbo performance (at the circuit) and as far as i am concerned it does as advertised.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
