hi!

I´m interested to know if you guys have advanced technical know how about the Group a cars that was such a success in the 90 s. Its more and more popular to build a nice time attack car, and the "top secret" know how maybee not so top secret anymore??

I think it would be very nice to know more about hardcore technical solutions, data about suspension alighments, CG, RC, scrub, spring hardness, swaybars and so on, all this information would be alot help to people today trying to show the world about the GTRs splended performance.

i´m also interested in engine tech, such as the swing oil pickup in the wet sump and so on, all this Group a candy.. :P

I know there is a group a thread but its mostly just alot of talk about anything group a.

There was more than spring rates and swaybars mate.

There were underbody chassis mods and all sorts of business far as i am aware (as there certainly was with HR31's) :P

Not saying the Group A's weren't fast in their day, but given the technology and advancements of today, i cannot see why you couldn't realistically do a better job.

Tech has certainly moved on since then, and they of course were built to Group A rules, so I don't know why anyone would want to stiffle their build by replicating the specifications of them.

You could PM "Jetwreck" to request some specs and settings on the Group A GTR he is involved with.

while the cars were amazing in the day...things have come a long way in 20 years.

the group a cars had custom hubs and control arms for a start....very little was standard.

I have seen the alignment specs and they were not far from what most people would already choose. eg not a heap of camber or toe out. remember they were pretty heavy and tyres were not huge.

Be interested to see engine spec. From what i can find on the net about j- groupa was that they were limited to 500ps. And std displacment. Did they just run n1 turbos?

bit more HP than that(the GIO car dyno'd recently at 360AWKW's on 1.5bar).....they also chased torque more that HP with them.

How was the response like compared to say a set of -9's which are around the ballpark for that power?

You could say -5's but they are closer to 400 @ the tyres.

:P ....wtf are you talking about!.....lol

sorry man you lost me...elaborate please!

Garrett bolt on replacemt turbos (2860's), new tech stuff :)

Was wondering how they compared response wise. Obviously they would be better given 15 years of dev.

But just how much, and more importantly how do the torque curves differ

Even get the two cars onto the dyno same day just to see it all.

Would be an interesting comparison IMO, results could surprise everyone :)

oh....I get yah now....remember I'm only a "Spacer".

The turbo's on the motor came with the motor.....when we rebuild the ones on the current motor I'll let you know what's in em....oh and we wont be changing the spec....no need they do the job pretty effectively!

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
