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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
