Excellent advise here! Never ride a big bike again and have your memory erased so cant remember what it was like. Cheapest way out of this.

I drove a 2L diesel van for 6 months whilst my car was off the road, peak power at 2500rpm and a redline of about 3200, that and it was about 20m off the ground, after that even my mums 1.5L civic felt fast!

I do get that feeling also, I drive a truck for a living... 62tonne B-Double not exactly the fastest accelerating machine!

GTR feels like a Go-Kart after 12hrs driving.

I spend a few hours a day trolling threads and reading different results from peoples setups.

I'm set on getting to the 400kw mark when the time for upgrade comes so instead of have a toy in garage, I have a "Silly Toy"

As much as I'd like to deny it, I am good friends with Ash. He's more misunderstood than a real tossbag :(

I did run an 11.2@127MPH with 347awkw on a stock 2.6L bottom end and 2860-5 with 19psi and super safe tune as dynoed at RE Customs. Drove in with 1/2 tank of fuel, dropped tyre pressures, ran back to back 11.2 and 11.3 along with 3-4 other runs which weren't as good, drove out to servo, pumped up tyres, filled petrol, drove home. Easy.

400rwkw on street tyres will net a 10 sec pass as long as you can launch properly. Everything in a GTR is at launch. After that, it's a pretty simple game.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ash does run a 10 with 400awkw. Even he couldn't fark up something this easy. LOL!

Well given he is a good friend of mine and we were actually discussing it yesterday, I'd be inclinded to believe my version. :D

You aren't the only one, plenty of cars out there are using factory dumps and making 330-380rwkw.

If you are so dead certain the car doesn't have anywhere near the power spend $80 and put it on another dyno and see, would be the first thing i'd do.

(i've gone from racepace to dr.drft, varience of a whopping 10rwkw)

Anyway, proof will be in the pudding - I'll remember this thread for a time when i run a 10 with factory dumps and -5's!

Till then :(

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
