Sorry Domino, been a bit caught up with Targa Adelaide and all the associated work :)

This one is on the front-burner from here on in until completion. One of the 'tricks' we worked out is that to install the Greddy turbo kit you must have a Greddy top pipe kit as well! Thats done now.....

SD tuning only in something of this 'size'

This package has probably the best flywheel setup their is....we totally re-engineered the whole thing so that never, ever in its life can this GTR ever make another flywheel rattle noise. From that point of view it behaves like a normal car.

The noise you hear is the engine/turbos as it doesnt have an exhaust on in the video, its straight out the dump pipes :)

Just wouldn't be a GT-R without the rattles :P

this is interesting - how does the flywheel become 'loose' & why?

assuming the flywheel bolts run straight into the rear of the crank like a conventional engine - are the actual bolts under engineered or not correctly torqued from factory?

i'd stop at full bolts on and mod'd stock turbos, and spend the rest on a set of A005's for the stock 20's for such events

pretty sure Martin and Seb have run A005s iirc - Martin could you get away with A005s on rear wheels only and stock bridgestones up front?

Arent they slicks? If they are they are not allowed. There must be a perfect combination of power vs traction for this type of event. Road surface will obviously be a variable factor. It would seem that Martins WR600 was better suited than Seb's setup.

Temora was all about traction over time.

Sebs Alpha 12 was easily faster than the WR600 through the acceleration increments once it had achieved full traction, however finding that traction balance was difficult on the day. It didnt help that Sebs car was running Dunlop road tyres where the WR600 was using the SportMaxx version (as a test, which worked well)

Towards the end of the day when Seb really got into the car it was indeed faster in elapsed time than the WR600 head to head however the track had gone off to the point where no more fast times were run. On a dragstrip it would have been a very different story - as you might expect.

Temora is no real test of car performance rather the ability to adapt to the surface.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
