Looking good! I got a valley badge done by Dryden too - quality gear!

Dont know if the white will be easy to keep clean in the engine bay though haha

Yeah Dryden do some good work, I am close mates with them.

Batcho 1 of the Dryden Boys is currently building his E36 Couple with a LS1 Turbo... might end up being twin turbo with the way he goes but certainly they know what they are doing.

Cory's Evo is well worth checking out aswell... 99GSR... the fuel system plate for it is awesome I want 1 for the GTR but can't do it atm... not going E85 yet so it'll have to wait...

I am pretty much gonna use a wax on it to try keep it clean.... but keeping it clean isn't gonna be the issue cause honestly I only pop the hood to change the oil, I just wanted it to be cleaned up a bit.

I love this car. :wub:

I'd seen your build thread but got to actually see it in person when I dropped my car off at ERD, looks even tougher in person.

I can see why not everyone likes the white engine covers, but I think it really accents the rb26 outline nicely and the RPF1's are just perfect for 33 GTR's for some reason.

Keep the pics and videos coming!

Cheers bud,

Yeah I love the Rpf1's I am looking at buying another set for the track.. 17x10s to fit a bit bigger tire.

Yeah it's gonna be a pain to keep clean but I'm gonna wax it every now and then to keep it a little fresher.

Yeah Dan at ERD is driving around in it atm, doing the first 1000kms to make sure everything is sweet.

Once I get it back I'll have a video up within a couple weeks.

I'll give that front bar about 2 weeks before it goes to god Kyle. :thumbsup:

Hahahaha I just picked up a series 1/2 standard lip in a unbelievably good condition...

Picked it up at about $200 but still gotta get it into the country... so the Greddy lip will have to last until then ;) lol.

RWD!?

You take the front drive shaft out to tune it.

Many claim you loose 100+hp.... but lies lol. A quite well known GTR did back to back RWD to AWD to RWD dyno runs with only a loss of 15hp... with heat soak ;)

All going to plan, I pick up the GTR this thursday... I have been given it's power figure but it's not 100% yet... Sean(Tuner) is not 100% happy with the full throttle so he is going to tweak it some more.

I will be posting a dyno sheet, when I get it :)

Sorry for the late update.

Got the car back, so far so good running beautiful... LOVE driving the thing again, but I am happy I got a shitbox daily to drive around in... never realized how loud the GTR was until I got back in it.

Noel you were right... did not even last 2 weeks hahahaha Dan was driving it and it cracked.... then I had to get it towed due to a noise and took the lip off when it was on the truck snapped clean in 2... Luckily I got the new lip coming, but atm It's filthy it gets a full detail this weekend and I dunno if to wait for the new lip or purchase a fibre glass 1 just for the time being.

common man vids or pics !? power graph ?? such an interesting build and im hangin to see what dan has cooked up !!

I'll get pics and maybe some videos this week when I am off work.

I will post the dyno graph then aswell hahaha. It is must more responsive and I have yet to give it fullstick yet too.. so that's something to wait for I am getting it detailed tomorrow finally.

  • 2 weeks later...

So It's taken a while to upload the dyno sheet... as I have been busy buying **** for the car again hahaha.

The most current and up to date dyno sheet. The car made 492hp but had timing jitter so I need a crank trigger sensor for it to be pushed further so we backed it off. Current rev limit is 8000rpm which is a 500rpm decrease due to timing jitter.

I will be doing the rest of the VCT and the crank trigger sensor at the same time to hopefully see me push over 500hp with vct.

I have also just purchased a second hand series 1/2 lip for $200 bucks, just need to painted and put on. As well as a set of HA Tein Coilovers for the GTR... Just need a couple of adjustable camber arms and we're good.

Hey Kyle,

Looks like its going well mate. Just wondering what your in the seat of the pants feeling was with the VCT? It appears to have given you an extra 40hp through the majority of the rpm range so would expect it to be a lot more alive. Do you feel it was well worth it?

Also with the timing jiitters, Paul from Red R Racing, as well as a few other places, actually modifies the standard item to stop it. It works out alot cheaper from what I have seen and also looks more stock. Just a thought.

When that issue is sorted to you expect to see much more mid range or is that about all Dan and Sean thinks it will get but with more top end?

Any chance you have a graph with Rpm and possibly torque figures? As I feel that the torque would have been majorly improved by the VCT and the RPM helps make a more comparable result.

Either way man looks good!

Bet your happy to have it back and on the road.

I haven't got the VCT installed yet. I have the head modification to do it but the VCT still needs to get the cams and install and tune. The extra 40ish hp is from the new ECU.

Yeah Dan has got a source for a off the shelf item that is a crank trigger which means its safer and able to rev more etc etc... so I'll be going with that. I feel the new ECU is worth the little bit of outlay.

Sean has a graph of his before and after on his GTR but as far as I know it's the only complete VCT set up they have and he only has the inlet cam.. as where I and someone else from ERD's customer list is going both inlet and exhaust cam.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
