Clearly people in Sydney have forgotten that the GT-R is designed for racetracks, not mind numbing bafoon I mean drag racing

Don't mean to be direspectful but Trap Speed is used as a tuning tool. Nothing to do being a bafoon just more to do with verifying dyno figures, as a graph can say what it wants but Mph is the purest number for measuring peak power.

So if a dyno sheet quotes 500kws peak power and the car pulls 130 mph then questions need to be asked to the validity of the power figure quoted on the dyno sheet.

Like it or not its just the way it is.

i agree with this..... even though it is my own car....

on 500kw i should have gotten 140mph or very close to it....

Always had a suspicion JEM's dyno reads a little happy but I know Adam is a good tuner so I went to him for his capability rather than what his dyno will spit out.

Next time around I'm going to make sure I'm getting 31psi on the night so we'll see its real MPH :)

So ... youre saying GTRs at WSID go there for more than just being kicked off after the first run, and refusing to install a cage or parachute?

I thought you never get to run at WSID with all the VLs dumping their guts every 5 minutes

Speaking of stupidly high reading dynos, what happened to that bloke that made 700kw with -5s. He seemed to disappear after running his car on an Aussie dyno

Ha ha. That thread was the definition of insanity.

Has anyone considered twin 7163's as shown here?: 

http://www.full-race.com/store/efr-turbo-kit/nissan-rb26dett-efr-twin-turbo-kit-1.html

This looks to be the direction I will head over the winter. 

Have seen a few different twin EFRs used on YouTube, up to 9180s.

What I did think about, if you ever got defected for having a single on,  could you go with smallish twin EFRs legally ??

Would think the cost of going back to twins would be pretty prohibitive .

Here is an RB26 @ 800awhp + with twin 6258s

Twin EFR's look just as out of place as one larger single. 

Twin EFR's don't mount in the factory position.

I'm from the states so I don't think legality is really a big issue here.

Positioning isn't really important nor is aesthetics, for me personally. I'm looking at performance from twin 7163's versus other options, like a single EFR. According to Jon@FullRace, these turbos will be enough for 700whp on 91 octane, which were my goals originally. I don't mind the twin setup if it performs as well or better than an EFR single for the power requirements.

^^^Correct! This is what these turbos are about! 99% of people arent going to buy an EFR for the drag strip!   These things are all about on/off throttle type of stuff and the widest power/torque band you can just about have "in a turbo car"

thanks.  i get tired of posting this ^^^ in response to "what does it trap" posts.  Believe me guys, i get it - you want to compare it to every other turbo out there.  The thing is, these are different.  And the difference is not on a dyno or a drag strip.  If you actually get real experience with an EFR then you will get it too.. and if drag racing is your thing, Twin-EFR is the way.  Not single.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
