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?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
