Chatting to one of the instructors that had been involved with the GTR Launch said they are a great car, quick but heavy and will only last a couple of laps of the Nürburgring track then need to have parts replaced :blink:

Like what? Engine and tranny fluids? lol

Ask Tony Quinn what he had to replace on his R35 GT-R after winning Targa (which was over 500km's in competative length on roads a lot more agressive on the car than what the Nurburgring is - I have done both so I know!)

Awesome!

Looks like the R35 GTR is a regular at the N-Ring, hence the N-Ring sticker on the rear.

Im sure you can buy them on line but there is s Nurburring Fan shop in Adenau and another one a little furher down the road close to the track at the cafe/ hang out Fan Shop. I bought some for about 6 Euros per sticker. If you are cool you will have one on your car..... :)

I did the BMW M5 Hot laps saw the two way cool Black R35's and took the pics for you and I do love them and all did was to report on what I heard from Dale Lomas from RSR The guy that did the laps at the Ring for the launch! Nothing more nothing less! :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
