All good, I will love it and I drive my R most days on some great roads, so I will get my monies worth :)

I think emotion helps.. my na auto soarer, like I said is responsive as f*4K, but it's auto, so driving my stock (for now) skyline, is much more fun and only really about that feeling driving a manual turbo... i had the same feeling with a 1.3ltr turbo starlet... the difference? motorway overtaking... so I'm sure you'll love it...

I hope I'm not spamming your thread too much as numbers have no influence on me, as there are as so many variables to drivability...

I haven't been to a track yet :P

and I drive it like once a month now so everytime I get in it it's like.. "woh so much power"

when i was driving it everyday I was sooo keen for more power... so it's all relative

what you say is spot on, I drive mine just about every day and it starts to loose the thrill BUT I cannot drive it at the speeds you blokes do, just enough to get the rush :woot: once a day keeps the coffin away :)

:woot::wub:

No worries, just a chat. I am not after the magic numbers, seat of the pants feeling is what does it for me, just the feeling of raw power, Mmmm

My last car was an Auto, 350GT,couple of turbos and it was fun BUT after a while I missed driving a manual and once I got the R34 I was happy again, well getting happier and soon VERY happy :yes:

Cannot make that but I would like to do the next one but I think my sense of humour and shit stiring has pissed too many blokes off on different threads, probably get lynched ,haha

Enter the SAU NSW trackday, and let's see what it can really do :)

I was waiting for someone to say this,LOL

Would have to get one of you boy racers for that, maybe Paulie will do it, but it has been so long he probably has forgotten how :)

Is there a prize for whoever gets closest? Ill say 450kw just because its a number i like. Look forward to the results though. 4pm is a bit early to be boozed!

haha, I think Mafia got it right, no one would be bothered and they hate these types of posts, I thought you blokes would test your build skills and have a stab at it, as I have not found another one the same.

For a prize you need participants, one does not make it a competition ,lol .

As for me, it is not the number, it is how it is going to drive,, but the graph gives a pretty good indication. When I put my old graph @338awkw up with a new one after changing cams and turbo @ 345awkw, Paul knew the car was a pig to drive on the street and much better to drive in the second graph and only 7awkw difference but a different car to drive.

4pm is too early to be boozed, piss off. I get up at 4 am ish, have lunch at 12noon and on weekends washed down with a nice bottle of red , shit I could have been boozed at 2pm , but i do not drink late in the day(usually) , sleeping pissed = hangover :yes:

Hahaha i'll put my hand up for that, same car similar power, would be nice to feel the difference in setups and i'm going to be there anyway at this point :D

And while im here

385 & 400

420 & 445

Also i have stock motor stock turbo with dialed in cams and it is responsive as fark and in a R32 GTR it is briliant but the R34 is 250+kgs heavier and it wouldn't be so good, the 34 should have been a 2.8 with -7s or 3.0 with -5s from factory, that would have made it what it should have been

I would like to get that feed back.

I think as I just tossed stuff in and used the bolt ons I already had it would not compare with yours Mick , but good enough for what I will be doing with the car. Down the track if my son wants to do more, he can stick his hand in his pocket,lol

Your guess is pretty close to what they think it will be, only 4 days to wait, I am like a little boy and getting excited as the time gets closer :yes:

As I have never driven a stock R34GTR , I agree, if you are going to add weight in a new model, beef it up to make it better than previous models ???

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
