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,

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
