wanting to buy another skyline again. There are a few gtrs (looking at the r33's) that have 350+ awkw. Ive never driven one, so question is to those who have.

Are they easy to drive with upgraded clutch etc. in city traffic. Is lag severe, when does boost come on approximately. Are they reliable long term or do they become money pits.

Any other comments welcome

Cheers

Oz.

350 isnt all that much is it really. its a nice figure for just about anything. i would think the big lag would come with something with a big single

i drove a nice 33 the other day with hks gtrs's and it was sweet. not too sure on its power figure tho but i it seemed up there.

it had a carbon twin plate which i thought was one of the nicest clutches i've drive with. i want one. boost was almost instant. or 3000rpm there abouts.

Any turbo car pulling above 300kw@ the wheels isn't going to be that nice to drive in traffic. If it isn't the lag it'll be the boost when it kicks. In short in might be manageable but i'd rather tootle around in a stock "normal" car.

I'm not sure why someone would want something that powerful for traffic type use anyway...

btw A GTR *is* a money pit. Any performance car in that class is. Make no mistake. No one buys one for the fuel economy, cheap insurance or running costs.

I've recently bought a GTs-t with similar power from an RB26 and its not THAT bad.

Its pretty laggy, the clutch is a bit of a bitch if your sloppy with it(in the wet it'd be wheelspin city - HKS Twin Plate), but even with 272 cams down low it doesnt buck around or anything.

Does drink the fuel, and certainly wouldnt want to drive it everyday.

Mine drives fine on stock turbos running around 260rwkw biggest bitch is the clutch, and i don't think it be much difference to some small low mounts pushing out 300-350rwkw...

test drive the cars, see if you think you could drive it in traffic everyday... I agree with you some good cars out there with good mods for a good price

ive been driving mine with about 400awkw and never had a problem in traffic as the os giken twin plate ist as harsh as some, as for fuel economy "theres no such thing with my gtr" also boost starts about 4500rpm till about 9k

I've been driving with around 400rwkw (around 370ish awkw I guess) and I don't have any problems except the noise of the exhaust pi$$ing off people when I warm the car up in the mornings.

The clutch is fine but can be a bit tedious in the middle of the city. Even with the custom twin plate, everything is acceptable considering the power it's pushing.

Leewah, i think you need a tilton 3plate carbon clutch to solve the problems :D

I drive my 400rwkw gtr r33 most day and it drive fine on low boost setting you wouldn't know the difference to a low hp gtr (lag not at all)high you better hang on , the issues with lag depend on the turbo choice you can gain the hp you want from smaller turbo and keep good responce ,clutch if you buy or use a good brand it will not be an issue. Reliability depends as much on your driving habits and servicing as anything ,350kw can be happly obtained and maintain on std internals maybe for piece of mind you could go forged internals.

Why would I need that if my custom built Jim Berry twin plate is serving me better than the 2 previous triple plate clutches ever did.

For the cost of a Tilton triple carbon, I could have bought 2.5 Jim Berry clutches.

yes but you've havn't driven it much have you? Try putting up with it everyday!

The biggest hurdle would have to be the clutch. I've driven Franks white R33 GTR (2530's) on the spurs and that had nice Xtreme sprung button type clutch on it that was very easy to drive.

Dunno about driving it everyday tho....

Shiv...I was blown away by just how driveable Leewahs cars was:thumbsup: It was no louder then my car, it was no laggier then my, it rode nicer...i thought the hting was very driveable. From the passenger seat the clutch didnt seem too bad at all, but that assumption could be massivley wrong, bu tit didnt shudder / jerk etc etc...and you have driven my car so there is a point of reference:)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
