PMSL...  

 

Have you been a good boy...?

 

I'm shocked to say, my water temps reached as high as 117 degrees on the weekend. Oil temps were as high as 125 degrees.

The PowerFc has protection against higher temperatures, built in. For example, if the water temperature goes above 90 degrees, it starts taking ignition out progressively, as much as 5 degrees at 110 degrees. Same deal for intake temperatures.

Thats preety sweet emre!!

Did you have a laptop in the car with you on sunday?

lol - sorry mate, Roy vs Roy doesn't attract 2:1 let alone even money! The bet was with respect to the gtr vs gtst lap time debate (as the title of this thread suggests). You're making the same power as the gtr in question and you're 1/4 tonne better off. You're not back pedalling are you? :D

Great to hear your cars on the mend though, good luck, I hope you reach your goal. ;)

Ok so which GTR do i have to keep up with?

Scotsman, sh1t i think his pedalling prowess is ahead of mine but in the interest of a bit of fun ill wager a case of Crownies/Hahn Premium etc. The winner can sit down with the loser and gloat while we all enjoy a beer.:D

Out of interest ... what are peoples thoughts on what respective cars actually weigh? I have read kerb weight of the R32 GTST is 1270kg for an 89 manual. Apparantly 92 model isd 15kgs heavier.

So what is kerb weight...no passengers or luggage? Does it include fluids? Iff my car comes in under 1400kgs with driver, fuel and fluids then im happy. What do R33 GTRs weigh with driver fuel and fluids...1650?

If anyone is interested in a bit of a play, there is a weekend at PI coming up

That said if you give a GTST the same power as a GTR then i dont think there is much in it at all.

the gtr with same power mate! But yeah to keep some interest a case of crownies sounds good, I'm sure you'll be able to explain your newfound fear of the R to me over a decent dribbling session. :D

i think an r33 gtr vspec is around 1560kg dry, so add fuel @ 50kg, my overweight butt @ 85kg and other fluids it'd be over 1700kg's. No wonder the brakes don't last long!

Yep, had it sitting in front of the rear seat, wedged behind the front passenger seat.

R33 GTR on a weighbridge with a 1/3 tank of petrol, no driver.

My race weight with a full tank is damn close to 1700 kgs.

LOL…yeh but it has 180rwkws at 4,600rpm…and 216rwkws at 5,500rpm so it keeps me happy

Just thought of the reason why NSW GTRs are so much slower. You see its to do with SBS:) (Its been a while since GTR owners have had a panic attack over SBS….muahahahaha)

So they keep their corner speeds down. Maybe oil works better in Vic as I'm yet to hear of a GTR lunching itself. God lets not go back there.

I reckon with that power delivery mate you'll be feathering the throttle to keep the rear from lighting up out of turn 2,4 and 8.

Can't see why you needed 17psi for that power though. I thought you had a real turbo. Mine came in at 15psi and you know how fat the power curve is. RB25 wins.

Nah coming onto boost in 2nd it gets the power down, no wheelspin ;)

When I tried launching it and grabbing 2nd it moved around a bit in 2nd, but axle tramped a little bit, so I dont think ill be going to Calder tonight…might have to go tho the family do instead:(

My own 1990 R32 GTST weighs 1,240 kgs, 1/3 tank without driver. It has;

No aircon

No spare wheel

No tools

No HICAS

No stereo or speakers

No Rear seats or seat belts

GTR Bonnett, front bar, skirts, rear spoilers

GTR Intercooler (Roy knows it well)

Oil cooler & remote filter

Speedy Hollow Type R's 17 X 8's with 245/45/17 A032R's (not light weight)

OMP driver seat (not a light one) with 6 point harness

Jamex steering wheel & gear knob

Big adj stabiliser bars (much heavier than standard)

The Stagea weighs 1658 kgs, no fuel and without driver, so I no complain about about GTR's being heavy. :birdie:

We don't watch SBS much. ;)

I'll take a guess and say it stands for Sump Baffle Syndrome ...???

I'm off to Traralgon Sat for the night so have to ring Emre to see if he's on for a barbie.

Give me a holler mate.

hr31 with a gtr motor weighs in at 1480kg... no driver

it did have 4 wheels and tyres on board that I was too lazy to remove, so 50kg lighter than that ;)

SK, GTST lap times around the Island?

Roy, at the same power and similar tyres the GTST will be quicker....I'll buy you a case of beer if you shut them up lol.

And the reason SBS hasn't struck Vic yet is that you have been lucky....it will....

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
