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?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
