Are they both using the same turbo's?

 

Obviously if a turbo is at the edge of its efficiency then a set of cams will do wonders, cams reduce the amount of boost required to flow x amount of air.

 

To make more power you can either use a larger laggier turbo or start looking in to improving air flow in to the pots.

No, there not using the same turbo, I have a GT30, and robs is the TD06. Even he will agree that his is laggier than mine.

The point that we were trying to make is that SK comment

My experience has been that the standard camshafts are the most likely first limiter over 250 rwkw. They simply don't have enough lift or duration to let the air into the engine. Sure you can turn the boost up and try and squeeze some more air in, but you will get higher inlet air temps and lower efficiency.

doesn't always hold true. On stock cams mine has made 330rwkw and still hasn't fallen off at 8000rpm. That's not to suggest that most RB25's don't do what SK suggests though, but cams may not be the only restriction.

I haven't had any port work done yet. just want to see how far I can go with the stock cams.

and its still using standard injectors and cams?

We're using GTR injectors now, although we could have got the stockies to this level, we knew that seeing as we're pushing for 500rwhp that they wouldn't last. Just need to fit an 044 pump as I'm sucking the pump dry:(

GTS-t Vspec,

You are definately missing out on not having some higher lift/longer duration cams in your engine. You will make more power and the inlet temps will not be as high, it's just physics. There are always two ways to make good power. So far you have chosen the hard way trying to see how much power you can make on standard cams. For the rather small outlay you could pick up so much performance. I'd like to see you crack a 12 second pass, you've been waiting so long for it so I reckon you should treat yourself to some nice camshafts :P

Dave, Sure I could put a set of cams in, and make alot more power, but I just wanted to show that it's not necessary to make decent power and not run out of puff at 6500rpm. I'll do an 11sec pass with stock cams just for you;)

You go for it, it's not the way I would do it. But hell, give it a go, maybe you will be the first person in the world to do an 11 on standard cams. :( I really don't know whether anyone else has ever done it. I do know a black R34 GTT that did an 11.6 with 50 bhp less than you. But it had 260 Tomei Poncams in it, so it doesn't count.

But on to more serious matters...

the engine had only been rebuilt 2 days earlier

What happened?

I have no doubt of its potential.

I cant pull on it with 4 people in my car yet i can easily walk away from other reasonably quick cars(low 13's etc) as if they standing still.. once again with a full load.

What speculation you want on his HP.. if you'd see it you'd believe it.

THing is Sydneykid is we have cars out there,You rewrite other PPLs storys as your own.

Facts Steve, I only deal in facts. And the fact here is the R34 GTT did an 11.6 with 50 bhp less. Whether I wrote the story or someone else did is irrelevant.

i seem to recall use of slicks.. and bits breaking..

Yep summoner 50% correct, my suspension set up got the traction and squat so good that a driveshaft became the weakest link. But the fastest run was on Nitto's, not slicks.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
