Time for a upgrade of the suspension me thinks....after i upgraded mine there is no squatting and more hauling ahead

Your car doesn't squat because you dont have over 300kw and 4WD traction.

We have a winner! GTR's drive totally differently Mr Krishy...

Bec, that's a great result, congrats! Be interested to see what mine pulls on that dyno, may be a touch high reading

with a forged motor and aftermarket turbos why would you bother tuning it at 16 psi?

total waste of time and money.

above 24 psi is where its at.

give it to the bitch and reap the rewards.

if you cant handle the power you shouldnt have built/purchased the car.

pffftt, 2.1 Bar gets the juices flowing

Like I said, I wanted a safe tune. Without all that stuff over 300AWkW isn't necessarily "safe".

I didn't buy the car to do launches. I bought it to do ALL of what GTRs are meant to do - go, stop, and most of all, turn. I wanted an overall magnificently HANDLING car. Much more than that at the wheels on these starts to get twitchy as others have found out.

At the end of the day, it's my "wasted" money, I worked hard for it. I have to drive it, not you, and to me it's no "waste" at all, so really, that's all that matters :P

Thank you everyone for your positive feedback - I'm still new to a lot of aspects of a car like this! Everyone's been really helpful and supportive, thank you :P

Thinking of heading out and about tonight! :D

uleh says "time 4 yoo 2 show us ur f00ly h3kt1k dr1ft sk1ds yo"

*facepalm*

-D

Mine has 315 AWKW on 20 psi with stock motor, and aftermarket garrets, Goes like the clappers when u wind up the wick above 4500rpm, but no wheel shutter as i re did the suspension and subframe bushes myself. Got a fully built head and 272 jun cams on the way next week, so should see around 400kw when shes done.

But well done Bec, its your car, do what you want to do with it, dont let others tell you you should do this you should do that. Beautiful car i might add.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday.
