ibomu hits full boost at 7,000rpm... Is it ideal for the street?

He drives it on the street?

And it's one of the most powerfulest gtr in the country.

Each to there own how they want there car setup.

I have said that a 100 times, it is your car, mod it and drive it the way it makes you happy, the end!

I have copped a lot of crap because I wanted response, I never put shit on blokes that want what they want. But for me getting full boost at 7000rpm for a street car, is nuts , it is a waste of power. If I could have gotten what I wanted at 300kw, that would have been enough. As a new bloke to all of this, I am sure I did it the wrong way, but ?

My built 26 would rev 10,000rpm +, you could not rev to 7500rpm in 2nd without speeding on the freeway, that was only 1000rpm after the boost kicked in, oh and that is after struggling up to 5500rpm to get it to start to move unless you drop it at 7000rpm +, then your head would fall off, so, was this a street car, not for me and I am the only one that counts. My Tiida would blow the bloody thing off the road from an idle start and a lot easier to drive

I can have fun throughout the rev range and unless I am playing I do not usually go over 4000rpm, the acceleration is linear and no surprises, comes on smooth and as hard as your right foot dictates .

I reiterate my previous statement.

That car is not good to drive on the street, at all, he is making power "Just because"

Before you even know it you are doing well over double the speed limit. It's completely useless.

300-350kw is the sweet spot of power you can actually use. anything else is really overkill for a dedicated street car.

If we are talking about useable power for the street then no one should go over 300kw like anfanee said.

And let's be honest pete, your original setup was a donk from the dinosaur ages and you will forever be scorned with "ultimate lag".

If the power is usable , 300kw is more than enough

My original setup was 338kw and shit for a DD, my mistake :( so I changed it, here is the 26 Dyno with the different turbo and cams , it was OK but for me still a crappy street car. But more than enough power for the street, probably different turbo and cams would have fixed it for what I wanted, but ?

Now I have some torque to get it rolling and the power can be used much better than something that kicks in at 7000rpm, I have changed gear before then and have fun on the speed limit, advisory speed signs are good for direction :yes:

I get that, AND wheel spin from 3500 rpm in a GTR. I'm with you Pete, lag is for those that watch too many internet videos and don't actually drive their car in the real world all that much.

I recall driving my old near stock R33 GTR. From the lights a few years back, and shifting below 3500 rpm I was dragged off by a bloody prius taxi! That same car made 270kw on stock turbo's with all the bolt-ons, and was by all accounts what many of you call "responsive".

I agree, 300 kw atw is nice, but at 4000 RPM thanks.

Now your talking, 4000rpm for 300KW rules for the road. :yes: I think I will try for 400KW @ 4000rpm as it is an easier number to remember, response, response , response :wub:

Guess we should all bolt -10's on, no need to be fast in city traffic so we can go for full track setup then

Depends if you want to be a hero at every set of lights, fark you better beat those corollas.

As I said, I have never had problem keeping up with traffic with 0 manifold pressure, and at atm I am running mine in with a weak tune and 5k limited, again with no issues. But then again I don't like being a street hero when I am taking the kids to school or going to work.

Yeah go get them Pete. Give those Prius's and Tiida's heaps..

Last time I checked in peak hour maximum speed is 60 km/hr if your lucky. Must be so good to be on boost.

haha, I do not live in the City, 2 minutes down the road it is 80 another 2 minutes it is 100 and 50 klm of country road that has all of the features that make driving fun and I do it up to 7 days a week :yes:

I leave the City driving to you poor bastards :angry:

Oh and at the end of my road there is one of the best hill climb roads in NSW , Wooton Way. Mmmmm it is like driving heaven :wub:

    • some people are still around weirdly enough - most people just use facebook now to ask the same 12 questions tho XD  
    • Omg Rezz! Yep we're still here and actually seeing a trickle of oldies coming back.  How's things? 
    • So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy. 
    • Have you seen the Milwaukee Train Horn? It's a beast! I stumbled upon it while browsing for upgrades. I'm thinking of adding it to my ride for some serious sound. Here's the link if you wanna check it out: https://bosshorn.com/products/milwaukee-train-horn. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your method.
    • Anybody home...? I used to moderate this part of SAU about 20 years ago... hard to beleive it's still around basically unchanged with all the old posts pinned at the top. Amazing to read all those posts again.  If anyone drops by, I'm still in Japan (Nishinomiya, between Osaka and Kobe).  Cheers 🙂
