You will always get used to the power and want to chase more, it's just the way things are.

Remember that feeling of getting into your 200kw car and thinking it was quick? Well that's what 300kw will feel like for the first few months.

I'm running 250rwkw and to be honest it's really good for the street because I have a responsive turbo. I find it hard to even use 250kw on the street without breaking laws.

Exactly

I spent part of today in a Mclaren MP4-12C, i can tell you if it lays the power down well like the Mclaren, even 441Kw can get boring after a while. :)

Something with big cams and a big turbo hit of power can feel far more quicker and scarier, even though it wont be doing 0-100 in under 3 seconds......

I had 380 in the old 33, it was enough to destroy gearboxes but after a while even 380 is boring.

Was fun at the track and drags though.

I would say if you are looking for a powerful car you need at least over 400 with lots of torque all coming on by a least 4500.

Just remember that at that power level most of the drive train becomes a consumable.

As for chasing power, my latest car has around 85kwaw but handles like a go cart, and I think it's much more fun that way.

That +100kws will cost you around $3,500 (or more) depending on what modifications you have now.

He speaks the truth!

-standalone ECU

-fuel pump

-injectors

-intake

-exhaust

-intercooler

-AFM (depending on ECU)

And a tune of course.

Plus other bits I probably missed.

If you want 400kw for later then ditch that RB25 and get a 2J Supra, else you will have your money disappearing really fast once things break in the r33. Or have a built RB25 and still waste as much cash. Thats what my plans are for later once I get hold of a nice RZ Supra, not a big fan of the bulbuous looks though..

300kw on the street is quite quick. .. but you will still be done by Evos, WRX etc.

On the track or drag strip you will have to do some serious work on the tyres and suspension etc to take advantage of more power.

I never wanted 300kw to hose off anyone, it was the pure sound and ability to lay rubber like butter when the torque comes on, Evo's and

WRX's can be quick but sound boring to me.

Go to the drags and even a 10sec V8 or EVO gets boring, watching a pissed off RB is more exciting.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
