Also looking at getting a PAR dog engagement gearset, 1st-4th, pretty cheap. Any reccomendations?

All I'll say is - do your research. Enough info just on this forum alone to make a decision about that type of thing...

PPG Dogboxes seems to be the strongest on the market at the moment, I have great results with mine. Just remember to upgrade the stock sandwich plate with a billet item cause if that fails then everything will as well. Have done over 50+ runs, all over 800-1000awhp going through it, you wear clutches out before the gearbox I highly recommend them.

there goes that idea then! must remember, you get what you pay for -.-

man up and get an OS88 sequential! :P

but def keep us posted as to what you do because ill be heading down the same path shortly so will be interested to see which way you go

Hi everyone,

About time we posted this up - here are the specs on our "NITTO" R34 GT-R:

STANDARD RB26DETT bottom end

ARP headstuds

Nitto Headgasket

Standard oil pump

Custom head by Mercury Motorsport

6Boost mani

Precision 7675BB turbo

Twin Precision wastegates

4" exhaust custom made

Haltech Platinum Pro ECU etc.

Upgraded fuel system

Splitfire coils

100mm thick FMIC

Custom i/c piping

OS Giken sequential gearbox

Power: 622awkw/845awhp @ 43psi (ran in 5th gear, to keep the 1:1 ratio due to gear changes, 6 straps holding it down)

Nicely done. It's no easy feat to make 850hp but glad to see you finally decided to run it and put the shit talkers to rest.

I can gladly agree that you indeed make over 800hp and am very interested to see you push that stocker as far as it will let you. At this point, even if it broke, you're currently making more hp than any other stock RB26 that I know of. Well done

Not sure if you are talking about Oz, or in the world... but Manny Cruz in the States claimed ~950whp for the stock bottom end RB26 he had in his Sentra drag car back in 2005, lots of people called BS - though the car ran mid 7s at >170mph and there is no reason for him to have lied about the internals - DSport in the US also had an R33 GTR they were claiming ~800whp for a few years ago with twin RX6s on the stock motor IIRC.

Not when it weighs 1700kg

It would either need that power with 1400kg to run 150 or it would need to make 1000hp at the weight it is.

Cheers Dan...

The Powertune GTR weighs 1800kgs including driver (we thought 1700kgs too, but speaking with Chea, it was 1800). Anthony & Trent are about the same weight & both cars are in full street trim with big brakes. We'll weigh NITTO in due course! :)

Mates vl calais 1400kg plus driver, with 385rwkw ran 139mph.

Same guy now has aprox 550rwkw vl running 9.0@155 mph.

I'd be more inclined to question those figures than Powertune's - but you can't compare them straight up anyway, unless the VL also bogged, and was running 20" rims wearing low profile basic street tyres. 142mph in a full weight honest street spec GTR with a 2.6litre engine (with stock internals so probably not big rpm) is insane, anyone knocking the time or power figures really outta take stock for moment.

I just copied this from another post......

I just ran our NITTO R34 GTR at the drags on saturday at Willowbank.

Ran a 10.39@142mph on Hero 255/30R20 tyres, Tein Monoflex coilovers, OS88 gearbox, standard 05U rb26 with precision 7675 turbo making 845hp @ all four wheels.

1.77 60ft

4.69 330ft

6.9 1/8mile (107mph)

8.799 1000ft

10.39 1/4mile (142mph)

Mates vl calais 1400kg plus driver, with 385rwkw ran 139mph.

Same guy now has aprox 550rwkw vl running 9.0@155 mph.

Slicks and auto vs Street tyres and manual... Thus why you can't compare times and mph

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
