Our new ADM MY12 GTR freshly delivered with less than 50km on the clock and getting ready for roll cage installation next week. This is going to be a minimalist build designed to set the fastest lap times for the lowest spend and show how good these cars really are.

Lots of lessons learned from GTR Mk 1. Mk2 will be better in every way :)

LC5 works a treat.

As far as I know you cannot simply swap discs over to 380s on MY11+ as they didnt just put spacers in there to move the calipers out. It's really annoying as AP are taking forever to release something, DBA likewise and Alcons are expensive.

Martin I may make you an offer, probably depends if it's wet or not at Barbagallo this week...What are you doing brake/caliper wise?

Yes, the new turbos have made a definate difference to the mid range & top end.

It went from 390awkw (E85 & std turbos with midpipe) to mid 400s.

Willalls did the new turbos, dump pipes & full titanium rear exhaust (plus fuel pumps)

in one hit & with the Michelin Super sports I fitted they were arcing up on the rollers

once it got past 420awkw so we dont know exact figure.

Its a massive seat of the pants improvement. I especially love the sound of it now!

It has always been an awesome looking GTR in GT blue, but now it sounds as good

as it looks. Loving the blue titanium exhaust tips as well.

I cant pick any noticable increase in lag, although I do tend to be keeping the revs up

more as I cruise because it just sounds nuts.....

I haven't had a chance to get it up in the hills yet but when I do it will be brilliant.

Martin, when you sort out this Black GTR I will meet you up there!

Munro how's your car going with the willall turbos?

Did you notice a difference in performance from full bolt on e85 to mod'd turbos?

i can say from the passengers seat VERY VERY nice. was in it two before turbo upgrage and the day after, what a huge differance seemed like a totally different car. he can tell you what power it is now (think 800 HP) and from the driver seat.

I'm running basically same mods which is why I'm curious how the turbos added to the driveability as that's my next move.

Have you got the dyno graphs, would love to see the power curve to compare with mine. You kept the stock actuators yeh? What psi did Martin run the new turbos at? ideally I'd want to run 20-22psi right to redline

What about the box, any increase in nvh after opening it up? That's my main concern

Ozstriker we run the Endless full braking system from our old GTR - it was all fresh and outperforms the stock system quite easily. Domino, it looks as though the calipers are cast differently to take the larger rotor...they are all sitting on the bench now!

Syvecs S8 R35 ECU should land tomorrow then some cool things start to happen - boost at launch, rolling boost limiter, programmable launch control. Great development times ahead :)

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
