:thanks:

After reading this thread I had to ask my misses if she could get me a towel!!!!!!!

Now that is GTR porn

:rofl:

How does the car stop compared to the factory brakes?

its like comparing day and night, theres so much difference. it feels like it can stop on a dime. i didnt realise how shit the standard ones were until now.

:yes:

Nice...are these ford territory turbo calipers ?

lol, nah, these are the brembo gt kit.

As you said you cruised it, and it's a turbo car, you really should be able to get better then standard fuel economy. While cruising it, you're making the motor make the same power as a stocker cruised... This should use the same fuel as a stocker. I'd be having serious talks with the tuner. If you cruise it too much I see washed bores occurring...

Mate your never going to get 500 or so kms out of a tuned GTR i dont care how you drive it. My old car would be lucky to get 300 odd kms around town.

btw nice car mate sounds tuff!

I don't see why not, at cruise load you would be lucky to be making 100hp, probably closer to 80 or 90hp. Shouldn't be using a lot of fuel unless you put your boot into it.

But I digress, Anthony did say his definition of cruising involved boosting it hard, which is what this car does best :D As if anyone could just putt around in a 950hp 2.8L GTR :P

Who cares what mileage you get.. If you can afford to produce a car like that and exclusively run it on E85 then I am pretty sure you wouldn't care how bad the fuel economy is.

You can't expect to maintain a very healthy fuel consumption rate if you drastically increase your performance levels thats pretty much a given.

Shift light in the cluster looks mint, very nicely integrated

Does on the highway count?

Yeah highway counts. I was making 310rwkw out of my R33 and dont think I ever saw 500km to a tank. I used to think they were good when kept off boost and just cruised around but this was short lived when the car came from the workshop. You might say I had a bad tune, but Ill tell you that 3 different, well respected tuners have tuned the car on different occasions.

p.s i think we are getting a little off topic, Loving this build up, keep the pics/vids coming!

was there a reason why u didnt just replace your standard dash with the haltech unit?

cant imagine it would be easy to look at when this beast gets going (veiw for the passenger will be good tho)

very very neat job anyway

the reason it isn't mounted where the original cluster is because i wouldnt have turn indicator lights, fuel guage and a few other things. plus it would stand out too much to the police at night. the main reason i'm using the unit is to view the ethanol content in the fuel and monitor a few other things while the car is staitionary. but it does give the passenger something to look at while we are on the move.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
