Well, as you'd be aware 09GTR was destroyed a couple of months ago, just as it was going through its latest Greddy upgrade for Bathurst. Thanks to the good work of the lads at Col Crawford and my insurer I was able to take delivery of a new 2010 Grey GTR the Saturday before Bathurst. I had to drive a couple of thousand clicks to run her in, and then some very mild fettling from CRD (a mid-pipe, dump pipes, and Cobb tune, plus brake upgrade) saw a solid 360 atw, and ready for Mount Panorama.

These pictures are taken six days after I picked the car up and just a few hours before cracking a 2:26 at the Mountain. The plan from here is to get the maximum from the stock turbos (say 400 - 420 atw) on 98, then get a few kms on the car, and then get those big Greddys doing their thing.

I'll update things as we go.

I owe a big thank you to CRD for prepping the car in time, and for the great work they did at the track over the course of the event. White 35 (pictured above) was able to smash a 2:21 which pretty much meant he was the fastest road registered car on the day.

btw - the 2010 seems much improved over the 09, the sat nav is a revelation, as is the suspension. Takes to fettling very well also!!!

Have now upgraded the Cobb Software, added tranny cooler, HKS intercooler and BOVs, custom 4 inch exhaust (looks stock from outside) sounds awesome, brake system upgrade including pads, discs, braided lines, fuel pump. Car makes around 390 atw on pump gas stock injectors and turbos.

I have decided to sell my Greddy turbo kit and am going to opt for the Willall upgrade instead. Reason being I want low and mid range. The Greddy system is brand new so pm me an offer.

Latest shots of the car...

sorry to stray off topic but to answer Martin's question, the brake and tranny cooling is definitely noticeable performance-wise. I have my water cooling for the brakes and pump for the tranny hooked up to 2 switches. I certainly notice it by mid to late sprint session when I haven't turned them on. Will collect some data next season.

Hey mate,

Your Old gtr i spotted the other day out the front of queen street smash repairs!

looks like its going to be getting a coat of pink!

Why but why. Is there any car out there that they wont wreck. Plus it will probably end up with 28inch chromies

Awesome. Straight from the showroom, to the workshop, then the track within a week!

Rockin. What great cars they are & LOVE the Gun metal. Definately my favourite colour

(until the blue one comes out that is!)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
