Need tyres first

My car is setup for

17/45/245

Have Hancooks on at the moment road noise is shocking

Looking at New Bridgstone Potenza

or

Yokohama's

Urgh the road noise I have is horrible!!! Stupid P plate bogans putting some crap called 'Triangle' tyres on a new car >.< Literally you need to raise your voice while you're driving.

Need to do more burn outs and chuck some Michelins on them!

I have my setup sorted out at the moment.

Stock turbo's I have atm kick in at 3300

-5 will kick in at approx 3600-3800

Adding more low end punch with adjustable cam gears and getting it tuned for a bit more pick up in the lower end range.

Rest is good for what I want which is 300kw at the moment. But have the parts there if I want to chase more later.

My car setup is more for Tarmac rally than track I don't want punch from a stand still I want a powerful mid band to rev out to redline, the way I drive the spur with what I have I am sitting at 4000rpm through the spur keeping power up as the car only has 180kw currently and I can keep up with you guys as it is :yes:

As my driving style is to sit in the mid range having the -5 spooling or near ready as I come onto power out of corner increases corner exit speed and provides a lovely 4 wheel power slide/drift.

And yes all handling aspects and braking have already been done and bedded in before adding power to get the car setup right from day one.

The guys at RE haven't steered me wrong yet and the car has been getting better and better as we work through legacy age part replacement, and upgrades where required. My car will look like nothing has changed when they have finished. :D

No Tarmac rally GTR owner is running 370rwkw+ mate. :)

-5s don't kick in @ 3600-3800 either. Yes they start making boost/power there but in reality they don't come on until after 4,000 and it's very noticeable if you've had -9s beforehand as i have.

Don't forget you are seeing a loaded up dyno run, in 4th gear - then ye they come on @ 3,800rpm. I'll check tonight if i get a chance but I think 3rd is around 4200-4400 and even 3rd is 150km/h.

Just because you are sitting @ 4,000rpm doesn't mean you'll instantly be on boost either.

Smaller turbos will come back on boost sooner @ any given RPM. That's just physics.

Each to their own. If i had my day again I'd go back to -9s for street/circuit/tarmac. The extra lag simply isn't worth the power.

On a side note - What ill do if you want is get my car and a mates out, and you can sit in the passenger seat if you want and see for yourself?

Most of my mates with GTR's have -9s on at the moment, so wouldnt be too hard to find someone

Grant! oh wait.. :P

He was running 300rwkw I think though - had good reponse.

Haha...

Kinda tempted to rape my credit card for pair of these on my new replacment.

Yep 302.8rwkw @ 18.6 psi, which is very nice for street compared to -5s.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
