Matt,

I am in awe of this build of yours. Coming from a Nissan S15 and continuing my journey with a Storm Trooper Evo X MR literally tossing up as you have pointed out to a R35 you make me regret my decision of buying a White R34 and doing what you have done, which was a 3rd option.

I really hope we can meet one day as like yourself, I am obsessed with white car, black carbon bits and black wheels.

Tell me if I am wrong but it appears your guards aren't rolled yet it appears that you want to do track days? Have you considered a respray in a better white maybe with a distinct pearl?

DYNO RESULT:

This is the email Beno sent me when the car was ready for pickup. I will let someone who knows about GTRs summarise what the RB28 V Cam feels like on the road:

The all important dyno graphs:

RB26 NUR vs RB28

Will post pictures of car this afternoon. Need to clean car first!

was this tune on race gas? as someone pointed out, your lambada = 12:1 a/f. little too lean for me with that much boost, if it was on pump gas.

pump

blitz, i think the tuner may have half a clue on how to tune a GTR when a) has built/tuned a 33 R that was only about 1.5 seconds off a v8 supercar around sandown in full street-trim, b)done something on this build that many thought was not possible without a HKS ecu c) have countless other GTR's getting around oz seeing plenty of track time, from weekend warriors to Targa events.

i think it's safe to say the tune is more than fine

gotcha ya. btw. what is the octane of pump gas?

thats the only way to build them, trust me dude if u saw his car in the flesh u would love the paint work its clean as f**k....

Hey,

Have been trying to find the info in this build but i think there is way too many pages..lol

Would like to know rpm and psi this beast runs to make its power, for interest sake to compare to my setup. Also what head work has been done if thats ok :)

Congrats on this build ;) . Awesome awesome machine...

subscribed - what a beautiful gtr u have there.

with 412kw, is this running e85 or pump? also, what level of headwork do you have i.e. porting, cam specs?

hahah, Marko mate, 3 of the 4 posts above you talk about the fuel!

From my chats with Matt the car has had some headwork, and as far as cams it does have V-CAM so not sure if only one or both cams have been replaced.

Still remember the day I took it for a drive after completed. Truely amazing.....

Thanks for everyone's interest in this thread still.

I believe the my car will be featured in the January 2011 Performance Import issue, at least that's what Jun Sawa (photographer). He also said that the photos thurned out amazing! He is not allowed to show anyone the photos until the magazine article release due to copyright.

As for the queries:

412RwKw output on pump gas, that is 98RON, is definitely possible. Its not the top end power that is amazing, its the low end torque and response that make it fun to drive.

A/F ratio might be on the 'lean' side, however, the car is tuned for street application mainly. The very occassional and brief high boost/lean exertion with street driving should not pose as any risk to engine life. If I were to track the car, Racepace has suggested detuning the engine for bigger safety margin.

Regarding head work.... I am unsure. I know a fully reconditioned RB head was used for the build, but I don't know whether Beno did any sneaky tweaks to it though. If he did, he was not prepared to tell me. Trade secret I suppose and I respect that. The cams are very mild (IN 248; EX 256) and suited to the Garretts -5s.

The V Cam certainly makes a world of difference. Pity I don't have direct dyno comparison on the same engine/turbo setup with and without V Cam.

Sorry, I don't have a power output vs rpm dyno graph. I guess you can convert vehicle speed to engine rpm by knowing what gear the car is running when dyno was charted.

Thanks everyone again for comments!

tangomatt - wat boost you running on the 98ron and whats you rev limiter set to? im sure u have no need to rev this motor out...hence getting the v-cam and extra capacity.

street driving, this thing would be amazing :)

sometimes i wish i kept my setup on the sane side..lol

:thumbsup:

Looking at the graph above it looks like it's around 22psi of boost.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
