NIce specs, what's some of the history behind the build?

This is actually my second GTR after bending the chassis on the first one back in 2011.  It was literally in the last stages of being built to how I wanted at the time (only a brakes  upgrade remaining because they'd sent me the wrong parts). It then sat in storage waiting to be re-shelled, kind of pissed me off every time I thought of it so nothing happened for a couple of years. 

Then I bought a shell in 2013 but as I was doing long stints of FIFO at the time, not much happened so I sold the shell in 2015 and was going to part out the first car. 

Not long after that, my dad had to have a emergency quadruple bypass recently which put things into perspective. I didn't like how I'd never finished building a GTR so I went and bought another GTR that needs some work and here we are. The first car will serve as a donor car  to the current project although the spec has changed quite a bit since then. 

Hopefully everything goes well with this build and I can enjoy it until I am physically no longer able to do so.

      Rb26 expected power

      By Butters · Posted

      Seems bang on to me , g30-900 will make 900 crank on e85(on paper). Deduct ~25% for 98 and you are at 675 crank. Run that to the wheels and fact you are only running 26psi you end up about your number.  People forget how magic E85 is now that just about everyone is running it.   "Back in the day" you had to be north of 30psi on a 850+hp turbo to get 600 at the wheels on 98.

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.
