I know this isn't really the thread to be discussing this article, but does anyone else find it a bit weird that they claim the GTR with "stock" boost, will climb to 1.3bar (19psi) with just an exhaust and powerfc?! Does the vspec have the same ceramic turbos as the standard GTR? If so, this would be goodbye x 2 for the turbos. Anyone know what stock boost actually is for a GTR34? I always thought it was the same 6-7 psi as non-GTR skylines.

The article isn't really comparing apples to apples either. The STi and Evo are direct competitors. The GTR appeals to a different market than the other two and you will find that people in this different market (most of us) will view the GTR as superior for what they'd want in a car.

Good read however...

yeah mate I agree entirely - it is a lot like how the Aus Delivered 200SX/S15 won the Performance Car of The Year in 2002 - it won on the basis that it was $200k cheaper than the Porsche tested, and availability/price or parts is a fraction of the cost etc etc. Of course it isn't a better car than the Porsche, but on their comparative analysis which includes value for money, it came out on top.

no worries guys .... thanks really to Pawley (edit: not Paully) since it was out of his mag :) (I have one somewhere but was easier to grab it out of his collection).

LMAO

Ohhh, that box of mags. I guess I will need to find a suitable 'space' for it at some stage.

Spotted the hottest R34 GTR VSpec today, Bayside Blue, custom plates "34VSPEC" gave the dude a thumbs up. Never seen it before, has anyone else on here seen him or is it new?

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
