Hi Matt a great job a Nur spec built to full spec lol.

Im from africa interested in your old motor do you still have it tried to pm you ?

Let me know

Cheers

Adam

Hi shiro ryo

I don't quite understand what you may be referring to? Please elaborate.

Thanks

Matt

I don't think he understands what he is referring to either.

All RB26 R32-R34 head castings are all the same. There is certainly nothing you can identify from looking at the outside of the head.

Looking forward to seeing what you'll do to an R35 if thats what's next Matt.

Hi Shiro Ryo

I switched the NUR engine out because I wanted increased capacity RB. Its amazing what just an extra 0.1771 L of capacity can do to transform the way the engine performs.

I sold the NUR engine as a whole with the Gold cam covers because that usually is worth more money.

I went for black cam covers to match the theme of the car - black and white.

I absolutely LOVE this car.

The black and white, CF bits, Z-tune bits, V-cam, steering wheel, TE37's... EVERYTHING is perfect.

I've always wanted a Nur/Z-Tune R34, and this is probably the best example I have ever seen. I've always loved Bayside Blue, Midnight Purple and Millennium Jade, but the Black on White has changed me, or at the very least added to the list.

Thank-you. Your car is Incredible.

Hi Matt

The car that will be on the front cover of performance imports 134 is my R33 GTR time attack car you saw it at RacePace last year jack was dropping it off. This will be a great issue tuff track and street GTR's.

Matt - Jason...

Will send some photos just before the magazine issue is out so that you can post some pics on here.... i hope the features look good otherwise the skyline australia peeps will hunt me down :P

Yes, my car spends more time at Racepace than my garage! I am always picking Chris's brains on how to tweak the car more for better performance.

I just got transfer case modified to allow more power to be diverted to the front wheels when power on. This supposedly gives better traction when launching and on corner exit.

I had Hicas removed as well to allow a more stable rear end when cornering at moderate to high speeds. The factory setting of Hicas gives the car a rather unstable feel to the rear end. Besides, all of Racepace circuit and targa cars have Hicas deleted.

Therefore, two more boxes ticked!

I also underwent another re-tune on the dyno and Chris discovered a minor lean spot just as the boost comes on that needed some adjustment. Just a word of advice, dyno-tuning needs to be carried out periodically as the GTR tends to get out of tune with mileage. Power at the Rear wheels was slightly down from 413 rwkw to 407 rwkw (humid day!). Boost levels slightly down, probably due to high barometric pressure.

All other systems were checked to ensure optimal operation and the car is thankfully A1.

Hmmm... just a few more thing on my list to be done.

Finally, thank you all for the continued interest and support. This thread has over 100,000 HITS!!! :thanks:

Guys, I almost forgot. I would like to buy these wheels....

post-32660-0-79954900-1300961112_thumb.jpg

Specs:

Second hand Work Meister S1 20"X10.5" in chrome and get this - Fr offset 0; Rr offset -6.

Cost: NOT cheap

Discontinued specs, rare

I did a bit of calculation and the front is going to stick out 21mm more than my TE37s and Rear by 27mm.

Couple of questions:

Would the wheels clear my AP brake calipers?

Would the inner rim clear my Tein RS?

Would the outer guard rub on the rear guard?

what are the specs of your current wheels?

how much room do you have between rim and shock at the moment?

whether the tyre rubs on the guards will depend on things like tyre width and sidewall height (how much stretch you have)... and camber

those rims come in different 'disks'... it simply means how far out the spokes are pushed towards the outside of the rims... you can have 2 wheels with the exact same width and offset but one will have the spokes pushed out further to accommodate big front brakes

brake fitting is a trial and error thing mainly... TE37's are really well designed for clearing large calipers... Work Meisters, not so much

if you can get them to fit they will look fantastic... but will be some dicking around... most importantly fitting over the brakes and not fouling on the shocks are most important... the other stuff can be worked around

EDIT: worst case scenario you maybe able to run spacers... but on a car like your I dunno about spacers... ask Chris about that

if you did buy them and then find they dont clear your brakes you certainly wouldnt have any problems selling them again

i wouldnt think clearing your struts would be an issue with that low an offset either

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
