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 ???

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
