OMG this car is a TV star...they had coverage of the Winton Supersprint on SBS/ Speedweek today. Well done :)

:cheers:

Nice work Johnny.....loving it.

Looking forward to seeing the latest additions!!

Have you had it on the scales since its diet??

Always wondered what they actually weigh......my rego sticker says 1200kg.....paha!!!

Cheers,

Haven't yet.

They are much heavier than 1200, thats for sure. Nissan says 1370ish from the factory.

I'd say it's 1300'ish at the moment. You can take a heap off metal and gear off it, but there has been so much added.

So the focus is firmly on World Time Attack in October. Then Winton/Wakefield come up with feeder state rounds. So it's on to improve the car in readiness for the Vic round.

Weight, removing the AC

And ducting between the intercooler and radiator

Adding a power steering cooler at the same time.

Changing the spring rates from 8/6 to 10/7, longer wheel studs

A change in wheel size. From 17x9 +22 to 18x10 +35, these needed a 5mm spacer on the front to clear the inside.

Also, the regs for Vic were a little stuffed and allow club cars to run r comp tyres.

So a set of 265 A050's in medium, my first try at an r comp tyre.

more powerrrrrrrrrrrr

change the stock intake pipe to a hard one and give it more boost. Also had to change the actuator from the stock one to a HKS 1 bar.

The little 21U won't hold boost up top and bleeds off to from 18 to 15PSI

There isn't enough time for parts to come in a put the diff back together before NSW Time Attack, so I raid my brothers daily.

Which has a newer NISMO GT 1.5 way (mine is an old NISMO mech 2 way). But is a non ABS housing diff.

So I'll be running NSW TA without ABS :huh:

At the same time the rear arms go off to pedders for polly bushes and new ball joints.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
