Here is my 2001 R34 GTR V-spec 2.

I've owned it for about a year and a half now. Its come a long way from since i bought it back in 09. The car use to have 350kw@wheels on the standard engine with tomei turbo's, v-cam, e85 etc. As usual, the power bug bites so i decided to have a big motor built. I chose Powertune Australia to build it because of the knowlegde and tech support they give when questioned. I've been to other workshops before but they didnt provide the extra edge/support i looked for in a workshop.

The car got a run-in tune on 28/2/11. Drove it around town for 1000kms which wasnt too fun being restricted to 6000rpm.

Finally got it run in and lightly tuned on 1/3/11. we had trouble keeping it strapped to the dyno under boost. but here it is for now. will be upping it again soon. currently on 35psi. we needed 3ppl sitting in the boot and 2 ppl in the the car to keep the car partially down

I drove the car to WSID on 2/3/11 the day after the 602kw tune. At the top of the track the car felt unstable at 230kph. So this morning i went to Heasman steering to get it checked out and this is how far off my wheel alignment settings were when i raced last night. Still running all the stock arms so camber still couldnt be taken out of the front or rear. but it goes straight now atleast. =)

Powercruise 2011! 4/3/11 I drove it to the event on friday, saturday and sunday and ran around the track racing anything and everything that wanted to line up. The car has proven its reliable and able to crush v8's / tubbed / supercharged cars. Nothing broke down, nothing overheated. I was out there on nearly every chance i had. was a blast and very fun event. Not bad for a car thats just been completed. =)

awsome....any video of your beast at power cruz

What do you think those last videos were??? lol

A credit to all involved with this build, top shelf stuff!

Performed flawless all weekend, was great to watch.

Please tell me you let the capri win in the final? There was no doubt that the gtr had it the whole race, except that very slow change into third :)

That is one damm impressive beast you have there Anthony. Please please get some better photos up of the engine bay. It looks killer

lol, will do.

=)

those last ones are all from powercruise.

thank u! lol.

yea from 2nd gear i smashed it into 5th missing 3rd. then i pulled it out of 5th and smashed it into 3rd. i had alot of airspace on him just before that happened. its all on the incar camera. hahahaha all good. was a fun event that i'd love to do again.

=)

WOW

big dollar spend GTR, that actually geting USED.... now this is rare and nothing is blowing up either :)

i looked at the videos, "you photos needs a bit of work mate"

and thought to my self god he must be running a Dog box or something and read

Transmission :

Standard Getrag 6 Speed

Ogura Quad plate clutch

how on earth does the standard Getrag keep up with this much POWER , "i must abuse mine a bit more now"

if you can build this car then you can get a guy to take some nice photos of that engine bay

lol, car isnt done yet so no use in taking high res pics.

Awesome work!! Must be a great feeling to have so much kw's rushing through the blood :) any plans for the box? Is it 3rd gear that u start to annihilate everyone or u actually get into fourth?? Lol

yea, its about 3rd gear that i start passing. nah no plans for the box just yet. i think i gotta learn how to shift into 3rd a little slower and itll be ok,

=)

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
