Project Gtrb28 - Powertune Australia Built.


Recommended Posts

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 :)

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

    • I did say "2x Magnaflows" then referred to a Varex. So to un-confuse that, my rear muffler is hot-swappable with a Varex. When I had a RB Turbo, I had the 2x Magnaflows, then went LS and though "Oh that's way too loud" and ordered a Varex. A mid muffler will definitely help a lot, even if straight through. SP Mufflers can make anything as big or as small as possible, which will help even more. Looking at my own exhaust I could make the muffler twice as long if I wanted to. Or you could go crazy and get 2x mufflers from SP and full every remaining space with muffling. In my experience closing the Varex makes the car run VERY rich (obviously). I'd say adding a muffler *will* affect things, on a technical, physics level, but I don't think you'd need a retune as the actual effect would be the car running a *tiny* bit richer due to more restriction, on a strictly physics level, but you kind of don't have any option if you want the car to make less sound.
    • I must have read 100 DIY's and watched 200 DIY Youtube videos with most people saying just grab a new cover and, well, despite my normal aproach to these things (replace it all!!) I didn't get a cover. I don't know why I didn't, I'd already ordered a bunch of bits from FCP and it would have made perfect sense to put that in the order.  Anyway, I'm not getting OEM as its just crazy money, even from the states its 900 ish delivered. So, I got an OE Elring one, same as they sell at FCP but local so I can get this fixed this week. Our X5 is waiting for a new diff so we find ourselves in a common scenario of having 2 broken BMW's on the driveway! 🤣
    • Big thing is available inputs for sensors and not having to run multiple expander boxes and software packages for different things why motec is up there. The link ecu and an aim pdm32 was a combination I looked at early on so get ecu, dash and pdm in one go. Aim logging software is pretty good and has all the tracks I will ever drive. Having logging setup with tracks already available is a big thing for myself so can click drop down and go. Thing that I keep seeing is the support what's needed and having a package that people in the know are familiar with as learning a new platform is time consuming.    Got a few boxes that arrived with bits while I was away so hopefully will fit a few sensors and make a start on the dump pipe today. Going to be interesting fitting a 3.5 inch exhaust on this and keeping it above the chassis rails. 
    • Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full
    • Chasing a R32 GTR dash pad, must be in good condition, no broken tabs, no holes and preferably no bubbles.   Thanks
