Aaron i'm curious about the output at the wheels aswell, meant to be 270kw and 500nm of torque standard, to put it in perspective a Ferrari 360 modena f1 is meant to be 297kw and 394nm of torque. (i'm hanging out for sau dyno day)

Still no match for the R35 gtr with its electronics. But a GTR doesn't sound like this.

Once I figure out if they use ceramic turbos or not, then I can figure out how to raise the boost level lol ( i wonder if there is a ecu tune for it?), throw in a better breathing exhaust, see if i can squeeze a bigger intercooler into it lol.

And Nick, the convo might go like that, only change is i bought the car on the monday and not the weekend lol

hahah chris, why not.

An your right dave, that type of money would make my r33 faster than anything... But it wouldn't be the same, and it definately wouldn't be very street friendly, trust me i already thought of that, and i thought of R34 gtr aswell, but nothing really sounds like this, nor is it this easy to drive fast, although r35 gtr is faster and easier to drive, but its alittle over double the price, no hassel with the cops, insurance, (parts may be alittle pricey and harder to get).

Look at the youtube link and if you have subs on your pc you can hear it rumble, then you get the turbo's and bovs doing there thing.... still my crappy phone microphone cannot capture the sound of it.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
