When's your more gate happening?

Happening next week!! Although unfortunately my stock internals wont allow me to unleash the beast. Built engine coming soon..... MAYBE......

Really I just want gate haha

400 or bust. If Jez can do it, you can too :D

How did it feel?

Was fun hitting 300+ kms

Was not fun realising I spent 80 to 90k

Felt stupid for not getting extended sump considering the overall cost

All came down to: "Shit happens, oh wells. Next car to play with :D"

It doesn't need as many revs and putts around happily.

At the moment it's tuned to 312 on 16psi and 326 on 18.

Apparently these turbo's don't boogie till 24psi...

very nice numbers - great result.

im with paul & the others...will be great to see what it makes once u upgrade the required supporting mods :)

Thanks Marco!

Last tune at unigroup before I moved up to QLD ran around 350+RWKW at 1.6 bar or so on BP98.

Just reassembled turbo rear housings with the right attatchment hardware this time, as it had an exhaust leak from bolts coming loose on the rear housing to CHRA mount... GTX don't come with rear housings or hardware to fit :/ so all good now.

Will post a graph next time I'm near a dyno. Still on stock cams.

Hi sean

I watched some of your youtube videos and made an interesting comparison between your old r32 and your current setup. Both cars obviously driven by same driver, lots of wheel spin on launch, solid quick gear shifts, and similar trap speeds.

r32gtr hks2530 328awkw, 1.86 60ft 11.474 @ 124.2 mph

r34gtr gtx2860 330rwkw, 1.84 60ft 11.774 @ 124 mph

First thing i noticed the weight difference seems negligible, as does rwkw vs awkw. Both car take off the same and finish with pretty much the same speed yet there is .3 sec difference in the time. Is this a prime example of a more responsive setup yielding more torque and usable power band? Or am i missing something?

Obviously i understand this new GTX setup is not even close to it's limits and the end results will be something much closer to 134 mph :D.

I just don't slip the clutch enough haha! With a better driver, both cars would go faster!

There is 100KG more in the 34GTR.

What helps the 34 is the 6 speed with the 3.5diff, even though the 4.11:1 in the 32 feels more lively.

This coupled with a bit more torque :D....

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
