.....Personally I think stock GTRs are too laggy as they are standard... 4000rpm is WAY too late for boost to kick in for a street driven car IMHO. So going for 2540s (bad idea) would reduce  boost threshold until about 5000rpm. Is that what you want???

For a street car you should be aiming for a fat, plump, even OBESE area under your power curve, starting from as low down in the rev range as you can get it.

Sounds like you need a V8 then!

Me personally, I find the non linear power delivery addictive.

Don't want to start the HKS25/40 debate again but I was on 1 bar of boost by 4,000 using these terbs prior to doing my big end bearing. Adjusting the cam timing gave a solid mid range punch with a similar shape to my std terbs (although obviously much higher!). I found them to be a solid street/track option.

With the present rebuild, I expect the head porting and the HKS exhaust manifold will ensure that this mid range bulge is retained. Hopefully have a power curve in a few weeks for comparison.

* A tiny bit of artistic licence has been employed in the attached diagram :rofl:

that dyno graph is pure gold :D:):rofl::):rofl: but its exactly the sort of power curve an alarming number of people like seeing these days..... and its a shame, cause it would be a much nicer car if the power came on much much earlier. Peak power means nothing really, its just a way of saying my dicks bigger than yours..... if you want the perect street car its gotta have LOADS of power from about 3000rpm and up :):)

Twin Turbo V8 = KING!!! :rofl::D:rofl:

Sounds like you've got a great setup! Whereabouts do you live? Up for a drive to Melbourne sometime later in the year? We're organising a dyno day for all GTR owners with low mounts upgrades (or power goals in the vicinity of 300-350awkw) so we can dyno them all on the same day, same dyno and stop all the misconceptions once and for all!!!

Should be a great day, I think I'll drive down, and truck the car back home :rofl:

Ok, they are just your normal N1s not your 34 N1s. The car is an actual N1 so whatever type of turbo they came with is what ive got, i dont really want to change anything that can't be reversed (Ie Bigger Turbos, i'm staying with the N1s, if i win lotto i might buy a 34 and use that to play around with some more).

Street driveability to me means able to drive through traffic without stalling/spinning the tyres, able to come on boost without the car trying to jump off the road etc.

Im with Merli and Marlin - i'm after good torque figures as well.

At the moment boost is coming on at around 4000 which i find is fairly laggy and 5000 would be ridiculous for what im after. I'm also putting on the ORC clutch which i understand smooths things out with the 4.8kg flywheel.

Merli - great idea, but logistics are a touch difficult!

I actually DO live in Bulgaria (I'm not taking the piss in my details). Car is being rebuilt in Perth atm with some serious internals to support the 25/40s and ensure a wide curve (i.e. extended rev range). The dyno work WILL be done on a DD unit in Shoot Out Mode, however. And, as stated, WILL be tuned for torque, not just peak power.

Sorry mate, I thought you were just joking around with those location details!! :Oops:

That's a pity, because your car sounds like one of the most complete 2540 setups I've heard of :rofl: Would have been great to have you attend the day! :)

Power under the curve >>>>>>>> Peak power dyno queens.

No, the reason FLYBYE lost wasn't due to no traction, it was due to a power curve that resembles* this:

was the dyno done in shootout mode?

140mph and 10.7 as a true streetcar is a great effort and better that all the PPL knocking on this thread so do better or shut up.
Corners Theo....... corners. It's not ALL straight lines mate!

So 303rwkw... That would correllate quite well with jezzrrr's 285awkw... If anything, that would translate to LESS than 285awkw

Yet you run 128mph, and jezzrrr runs 118mph.

jezzrrr: Do you see now, why people think that your reading is a little optimistic? :(

Couple that to the fact that peak power means nothing... I just heard about a certain race between FLYBYE (making in excess of 400awkw) and a 270awkw WRX in a 600m standing start race at Bathurst (can't remember the event, I'm sure others will), and the WRX beat FLYBYE, as well as another GTR of Domenic Russo (Autostyle) lighting up the dyno with more than 400awkw :Oops:

Given that markr34gtr ran 11.9 with approx 305RWKW in his R34 GTR with 2530's NO I dont see why "people" would question the reading.

I am certainly not preoccuoied with dyno readings, its about driveability and response for me. NOT everycar that gets on the dyno that I go to turns out freak figures (quiet the opposite in fact), I just happen to have been very lucky with my 2 cars. Ive said it before - come to perth and come for a ride.

Looking forward to seeing your cars ressults down the 1/4, if you happen to finish it that is.

Looks like I touched a nerve ;)

There really wasn't any need to tell me to shut up, was there? Is that your level of maturity? Unable to have a discussion without lowering yourself to the vocabulary of a 12 year old cussing for the first time in the absence of his parents? :(

All I was saying, before you got butthurt, was that 285awkw and 118mph is slow, comparative to other GTR's terminal speed with similar power. Take it how you will.... as an adult or a little child. Your call.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
