If you are in CA its easy. The best induction system made for the GTR is the stock arrangement with a set of Password JDM snorkels (made in CA) for the airboxes. Forget about the pod filter intake kits, they are hot air generators and power reducers for the most. They also tend to cause laminar flow and tuning problems for the airflow meters. Folks will work this out soon enough.

The GTR exhaust is just a matter of taste. Obviously I would recommend a Willall midpipe - wouldnt I - but the reality is that from the cat back there is little to be had (nothing, no power) in a full system. Why? The stock R35 system is totally straight through, and most of the aftermarket systems are actually smaller in diameter around the mufflers. True. For aesthetic pleasure then by all means go ahead and get a big shiny, but it wont sound/go any different to a stock system + midpipe :)

Thats excellent advice Martin. It is impressive how many of the standard parts on the R35 GTR can not be improved on by much. I have always hated buying a new car & having to rip the whole exhaust system off & chuck it in the bin.

At least with your midpipe it is a quick & easy mod & you get a great power/sound improvement without having to change the rest at huge expense. That money saved can then be put towards upgraded turbos instead!

I will try and answer that rather condensed post in point form......

1) Thats typical of an internal wastegate boost curve

Would a stronger pair of wastegates' actuators redice this loss in high rev range Martin?

Edited by 9krpm

No I dont think so 9krpm, I would suggest thats what the turbos have to deliver and between being on the edge of compressor and turbine flow, the whole system is starting to become 'on the limit' in terms of its response :P

Having said that the actuators used in this instance are 0.8bar units which MAY not be quiet enough for 1.4 bar application. On the flipside this gives the end user the great ability of being able to 'flick' the switch to a nice low boost level for everday driving that 1.2 bar actuators simply wont deliver. We will be mapping the next such installation with stock 0.7 bar actuators and a new RPM derived Wastage duty cycle table to deliver a similar result to aftermarket actuators and boost controller without the complication and expense :D

The project is nearly completed, a few more items to go and it will be all done, a big thanks to Martin and all the guys at Willall Racing who invested their expertise and have worked tirelessly on this project. The guys at Willall are undoubtedly the #1 GTR specialists in Aus.

Is the car actually going to see some track time or be parked outside cafés all day? .

Simple answer....if you got one you can....if not, well you know what to do :D

After seeing the custom race trailer thats built for it though I would "suggest" it might be a half decent Time Attack kind of thing - just a hunch is all :)

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
