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 :)

  • 1 month later...

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
