Try punting a 450kw street GTR around a track and let me know how that works out for you, I have that much power and have tried it, not a fun experience :/

did.

Was fine until spun bearings.

I was thinking to put 34 diffs into my 26/30 32 GTR to give the thing more legs and use the torque better. Just seem to row gears constantly on full noise.

I was thinking similar.

my thought is the 34 short ratio gears, which sit between the 32 and 34 ratios.

I believe around the 3.8:1 mark.

I saw Mick's post before and he dropped it down to 380kw to track it, I think that was right Mick ?

Understand , I know nothing, just thinking aloud :)

With say something like mine as a 3.2 , no huge Turbo, but with a more linear acceleration.

Do not understand why, with drive line modified, worked suspension, maybe a Quaife front diff or similar, modified trannie and a 2-way rear ,with good rubber, your right foot and gears to change why you could not use 450KW on a track ??

wish I could! Wish I could! WIsh I could! WISh I could! WISH I COULD!

Maybe today or tomorrow, not a good thing to rush :)

Geez, you're patient man.

If it were me, I'd chime in with a chainsaw to speed things up!

Patient, haha, NOT at all Grant, if it is much longer I will explode .

But there is nothing I can do about it, I just hope the job gets me what I am after and it sounds like it will be, even all of the little things are being looked after.

Got the bill yet

Has jez charged the 10 bux a silly question surcharge?

Should still only cost 30% of crd

If I got charged $10 for the silly question surcharge I would have to get a job to pay the bill :woot:

Thats the trouble when you are learning anything, silly questions, but my mate always said, there are only stupid answers and never be afraid to ask questions :yes:

all depends on how the turbos come into boost.

mocks would be very agrees ive for best response.

I had a big lazy single, so traction wasn't an issue for me.

But, going back to low mount twins, so will be interesting to see what happens.

But if you have the drive line mods to put down the power on the road, what about your right foot controlling what is going on with the power , use it where you can and back off when you have to ?

Trouble is I have not raced or pushed my car to the edge around a track or even on the road , so I can only have a guess and hope to get the answers so I can learn something and understand how it works a little better.

There are alot of different factors ie type of power, how hard you push the car, driveline, brakes, tyres etc

A street GTR would be a stock car with normal street rubber, unmodified driveline and laggy topend power that hits hard later in the revrange, which is ok if you wait till it is lined up on the straights before giving to the beans

haha, then mine is somewhere inbetween, just need to do the suspension (but I wont)

He did a run on the car this morning and it was 390kw on 21psi , full boost at 3950 rpm on 98 pump, still working on it , looking promising

    • Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
