yeh happy with turbos but i was surprised at how much we gain with the install of cams and tuning them etc it went from 366 to 518 we adjust fuel and int to suit with like a 1 to 1.5psi increase to get a true 18psi the apexi power fc rules tho awesooooooome contol and repetability,the car starts like a std and idles nice with a hint of lump to it.

Don't you find it a bit strange that the intake air temp was 82 degrees??! Especially considering the ambient temp was only 25... Compare the IT on your 366 hp run and I'll bet you 5 bux it's nowhere near 82 degrees celsius. Still your car sounds lovely and power curve looks great. Just don't place too much stock in your 518 hp at the wheels figure...

I take it no internal mods like forged pistons ?

Buster, Haha, who do you think got me the slicks;)

ND4SPD was running street tyres cause that was the category that we entered him for in Drag Combat.

last time i had checked, nd4spd did his 10 before drag combat so it has absolutely no relevance to his times. his best 10 was there though.

i remember doing his feature they day after it did the 10

he has never run on it slicks, bar one pass where he had slicks on the rear , so its not some sort of amazing thing that it does its times on street tyres, he just runs it like its driven. i dont think there was any real descision for him to run it on street tyres, the way it sounds from you paul its as if he decided to step back from slicks to street tyres soley for d.c

i know u didnt mean it to sound like that , but it sounds wierd and these eastern states boys wouldnt know better.

no internal mods(no forged pistons),bar tomei cams :rofl:

Hi mate, are you able to post up the 366hp graph? I would be really interested to have a look and compare it to the 518hp one.

Thanks,

Richard

ND4SPD was running street tyres cause that was the category that we entered him for in Drag Combat.

When you say "we entered him in" are you a part owner of SST or ND4SPD or just a nut hugger that likes to talk big

so the choice of street tyres wasn't made by the owner or workshop? but its something you boast about quiet frequently as its a true street car hahaha guys get your stories straight, so in other words its only a true street car because you were made to run street tyres

As for it being not allowed back Steve I very much doubt with the condition it was in after the crash it could of went back anyway and once repaired why not do what the rest of us have to and put a cage in it ect so it is legal to race

Paul is part of SST and so is ND4SPD and whats the story about ND4SPD?

It did have a knock against a curb but the damage is nothing like the storys and as for the cage,Why make a Race car out of a genuine street car that does the miles this thing does and a cage would have it put of the road first day out.

Why make a Race car out of a genuine street car that does the miles..

Out of interest, whats your idea of a street car? I know my car is a street car, as when its off the road im using public transport and itching to be able to drive it again, on average 25,000-30,000kms a year at least 6 days a week, typically 7 days (inc to-from work)

If it gets left in the garage as the owner has another car they prefer to drive day to day, then id say it aint a street car, as to me the owner doesnt enjoy driving it every day. Be it because its too loud, rough, powerful, or just too expensive/big an investment.

Thats my thoughts and everyones will differ from mine...so not wanting to get caught up in definitions, just trying to get a feel for what this car gets used for?

sorry mate unfortately we accidently erased the 366hp run cos we did alot of runs george was very pissed off when we discovered we had done so ,but basically we picked up power earlier with the advance on the inlet and picked up outright hp with exhaust advance and a bit opf int advance.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
