how much guard work carried out to fit 275 width tyre in?

ie just lipped/rolled?

can you maintain full lock still?

im looking at different setups for my 32 but still cant decide between 18's and 19's. maybe 19's for street and 18's for track.

ps.

awesome work Ben, love the tru jdm inspired gtr :)

Cheers Dahandful it is mostly JDM.

With the tires hitting, they do hit the guards but that is only because of the soft drag suspension but i have raised it a lil bit and its fine now. They do not hit on full on lock either and I am running very low camber's i think it 0.5 or 1 degree on the front and about 1.3 degree on the back and my guards are standard and haven't been rolled. If you roll the guards and add more camber along with stiffer suspension they would fit very easily. Our goal at the moment is to try run 9 seconds on the 19" Advans before we go to the 17" Mickey Thompson's.

can't remember if i read it, but what happens when you need to fit a chute??

Haha yeah the officials at Palmyra dragway have all ready told us to get a parachute before our next attempt, it will be getting ordered very shortly. I pretty sure the Andra rules state a 9 sec pass or over 140mph you must have a chute, we got a 10.9 @ 135mph so bugger rolleyes.gif.

Your welcome to call me Mike :)

I love the jdm look, exactly how a gtr should be (in my humble opinion - hence the same for my car :P)

i think from memory i am running 2° on the front and about 1.3° on the rear (no guard roll) with 34gtr wheels and 265 re55's. i test fitted a set of 19x10 +15's which looked awesome and filled the guards nicely. im guessting ill have to go like a 245 or 255 to fit without drama's. im going to hit up tirerack.com too, good prices... thanks ! :)

hehe, dont u just love that. so maybe got one more run in it before the assert their power...lol

had anymore thoughts on the side exit exhaust?

If you can Mike when you talk to the people at tire rack ask them to say that it was under $1000 dollars so you don't get hit with stamp duty, i know RHD and Nengun will do it for you. But i ordered 2 set of tires last time through tire rack and got hit with about $500 stamp duty down.gif.

Gonna play around with the tune next time we attack the strip ,and gonna ramp the boost up in each gear to eliminate wheel spin and are in the market for a strange gauge/ ignition cut flat shifter to get quicker and cleaner gear changes, hopefully get the 9 seconds we want all on the 700hp tune, time will tell. As for the side pipe... its up to discussion at the moment, we will see how we go with the practice welds on the titanium as my brother and I are gonna try do it ourselves, probably will all turn to shit hahaha!!!!!!

i was talking with one of our tig welders at work who is very experienced as i asked him previously about welding titanium

titanium is very hard/ tricky to weld, alot of care needs to be taken

also from memory has to be performed in a clean seald room to get perfect weld.

i havnt tried doing it, just going buy what he has told me. This would also explain why titanium products are not cheap as materials and labour to do the job are expensive

Twoogle had one in his car. He got a guy in Sydney to set it up for him. I actually gave the bloke the gear shift leaver out of my car so he could set it up for him. The guy wanted to see how the lever was setup for a GTR before I removed it. It had the strain gauge and amplifier box that connected to an input on the ecu for ignition cut when changing. I can find out from Paul where he got it done as I can't remember the name of the company.

its actually a very nice piece of gear nathan, paul showed me when I was at his place. Its good that he kept it for his next car!

Mark at Godzilla Motorsport knows a guy who does them and he is chasing it up for us, and I have another company in the UK who make them for Rally cars, currently doing a bit of research on. I rang up Motec and they gave me the name of a company in Sydney as well could be the same one you are talking about can't remember the name of them either i have it written down somewhere. thumbsup.gif

Not been on SAU for years, just got pointed to your build via JDMST and had to chime in to say CONGRATULATIONS! My fave local R32 GT-R build by far. Amazing!!!

Thanks Mate I just seen it of Facebook just then awesome!!!!!!!!!!banana.gif

Hay mate how much did you pay for the sucrogen E85 in a drum? What do you think of it.

I get Sucrogen at cost pirce because i am the North Queensland dealer. But i retail if for $650 a drum because the freight to get it here is absolutely bullshit.

As for results if you fuel system is up to the task and have a decent guy who knows how to tune it then you should get a pretty good power increase. A mate of mine Dave at CPV Performance, who is the local Ford guru here in Mackay has been doing some testing with E85 and on his pretty much stock FG F6 he got a 50rwkw increase just by changing form 98pump fuel to Sucrogen E85. We run it in or R32 Drag Car as well but we never ran it on pump fuel to get a comparison, but we managed to make 800hp @ all 4's only on 26-27psi of boost. When i am down in Brisbane again the car will be getting tuned for more boost and should make 1000hp @ all 4's. I also have a mate with a Supra kitted out with a HKS T51R SPL and a Titan 3.2L Bottom End and it makes about 750HP on pump fuel, he is going to switch to Sucrogen very soon once he upgrades the fuel system, i am very interested to see the results.

Depending on where you live probably best to call your nearest dealer. I highly recommend it and the way the fuel prices are going Surcogen will be just as affordable as pump fuel.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
