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....

    • 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.
