He would be talking about RPM, and my guess would be about 6k rpm?

See I think thats misleading as the rpm behaviour is 1-2,000rpm difference between 1st gear and 4th gear. So if the dyno shows the power dropping off above 6,000rpm in 4th gear, it might drop off at 6,500 in 3rd and not drop off at all in 1st and 2nd gears as its above the rev limiter.

So if your mostly in 3rd and 4th gears you will notice the power dropping off whereas if you drive on the street and mostly in 1st and 2nd under power then you wont notice it at all.

WOT is WOT, the power will still drop off no matter what gear it is in.

Youre right in saying you might not notice it as much in 1st gear, but it still happens.

Yeh but you don't build high powered cars to race on the street...

The thread starter said:

"Hey guys heres my build plan would this be adequate just for using as a street car"

If someone wants a high powered car to use on the street I think thats their choice. And if they decide to, surely you want to use the power at legal street speeds.

How can you say that WOT is WOT. 1st example, full boost will be later in 1st gear then it is in 4th gear etc. The whole turbo powerband shifts to the left as you get higher up in the gears (and hence speed). Yes its not huge but can be 1-2,000rpm between 1st and 4th which is considerable.

So for a street car that will do most accelerating sub 100km/h I would choose the GT30 0.82. Track car and drag are different scenarios.

Lol even though it is a street car, he will no doubt give it squirts here and there, probably race people as well because lets face it, you get amped up on occassion and it happens.

But you are right, the gt30 would be the best pick. It is a good responsive setup that nets good low-midrange power.

Haha no doubt he will still give it squirts and race people. But most street races and street squirts involve a low to moderate starting speed and most only last 1-2 gears. Meaning that the more responsive car will jump out in front and make it hard for the less responsive but higher peak power car to come back before you run out of road or find traffic. Another consideration is traction, the GT30 will be responsive and also progressive in the way the power/torque hits so you will have maximum chance of maintain traction compared to the GT35 which will be more likely be wait wait wheelspin especially at lower street speeds.

But if you are a nutcase and want to do really silly stuff on the street etc etc then go GT35 lol

The other consideration is getting your setup really sorted out. You will find most cars with lots of modifications will take a number of fixes and improvements to get the most out of the turbo. A larger turbo will require more and more things to be sorted to actually reap the rewards of the larger turbo. There are countless setups that end up only running the power of a GT30 with a GT35 due to being out of budget or frustration at not being able to find the answer. This is poor as you have less response for similar top end. Whereas it will be a lot easier to get close to max out a GT30 which will provide excellent response.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
