330kw my standard box died and 450kw killed the second (did a fair few hard launches though I'll give it that!) although it's now been rebuilt with the OS Giken gearset and that held up ok at 450 and has copped a fairly hard time so far.

And you're right, more power = more issues! But if you want to dabble in that world that's what you get! :)

hahaha MOAR POWAH=Future issues... Wait for it all to start... How much you aiming for? Im expecting mine to be close to 300KW and that's ill i really want in a road car haha.

Well over 500kw at the wheels.. :)

300kw is to slow. I had 350awkw and it was not fast enough :)

Doubt i will have many problems as everything is being modified (running gear, gear box etc etc)

Mate down the road has a 580KW 32... I would never want to own that much power hahaha.

I wish you all the best and hope nothing blows up.

yes or no to LAG.

300+ on the streets with minimal lag is sufficient. The acceleration is linear. and yes can get boring the longer the streets you travel are.

450+ add lag but receive kick in the pants acceleration. Track - depending which one? - Drag - Yes

around the windy hills 300+ is fine

IMHO

as said before add more Powah can be costly

my GTR has 330awkws but I may go from -7's to -5's. Haven't decided and Im happy for now :D

Richard your gt-r will transform into a completely diff monster once you go up from -7's to -5's. Huge difference in "pulling power" esp up top.

Hey Sedat :cheers: great to hear from you. Take it all is going well with yours...

You doing the SAU NATS mate?

I beleive you. Just need to take that step. Might take drive in a mates to make my mind up for certain.

I'm fairly sure it's not far away and the -7's will be on my shelf if I ever decide to go back.

:D

R33 Natro

-fuel pump 8 days

-3 wheel studs in the space of a month

-seized coil overs

-spun big end

-blew up gear box

-ls1 loom shot

-unusable fly by wire throttle setup

I'm sure there's more...

Im good mate and how about your self ? I will not be making it to SAU NATS as my GT-R is currently undergoing a rebuild. And do not have enough time and money to purchase an R34 GT-R to make it to the NATS :(

Had an R32 GTR about 8 - 9 Yrs ago. Spent 20K after purchase on pretty nice upgrades and general awesomness.. Problems with slack workshops promising the world and only delivering 6 - 12 months off the road.. and still not right (Was told it was a cracked head.... probably just the aftermarket metal head gasket now that I know more about these cars). Got offered 13K which I took under pressure from a 'workshop' that had it sitting there for months with no work done to get rid of the headache. So much anger right now.

Very happy with an RB25 that I can work on now and get it professionally tuned. Ahhh all better.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
