Last time at Eastern creek I was only able to run 0.8 bar due to fuel pump issues and I would estimate, based as dyno figures seen quite soon afterwards, that I had, as a peak power figure, around 220rwkw.

Apart from the R34 GTR's I overtook around the track due to skill, balls and semi slicks, one particular incident comes to mind.

I've come onto the straight about 2 car lengths behind and at equal speed as an R34 GTR that had been tuned by CRD the day before and had, I think it was 253awkw, could have been rwkw.

Now what I want to know is; how come I was able to catch him down the straight? (not saying it was easy)

I have no reason to believe he was holding back at all.

His car mainly stock, pfc, zorst and boost.

Me, GCG highflow turbo, the normal bits.

Semis, the great equaliser:thumbsup:

The NEO engine is a good equaliser as well, especially if you have the usual bolt ons it would mumbo pretty well. Still good effort and im guessing you would have been entering the straight a 130km/h whilst he was in the ball park of 120km/h???? And you would have been able to brake as deep if not deeper for turn 1

Um, guys dont forget he's carrying a little less ballast in the GT-t compared to the GTR. I was going to say power was similar, but a re-read showed that i was dyslexic for a bit, thinking the GTR has 235 not 253 :cheers:

Um, aerodynamics? Gearing? You're just cooler? Loads of possibilties :)

Nope, everyone knows GTTs are just faster then GTRs in NSW :P

My guess is the power was similar but your faster speed onto the straight paid off...its very hard to make up for speed you lose at the entry to a straight ;)

I guess I could have come onto the straight 10kmh faster. I wasn't really referring to braking but yes, I braked later.

I wish I had 4 gears under 1 to 1 ratio instead of 2.

Ben - GTR badge???

Perhaps my car is lighter. What does an R34 GTR weigh. Maybe he left his spare and stuff in the boot but I didn't.

Maybe, but i doubt that woudl be it unless he is shifting like a grandma. The std turbos would be responsive enough to grab a whole lung full of boost as soon as he jumped back on the loud pedal...especially when you factor in the auto slipping into the next gear and as you touch on less range of ratios.

Perhaps the GTR owner was very much aware that he was driving an 70k car at the track and was driving it with the level of respect it deserves...or perhaps if you take the badge off the GTR is just another car whose performance down the straight is hp/weight:)

I think, it's all about power to weight issue plus You have aftermarket turbo Abo Bob.

It's not surprising for me for a gtt with aftermarket turbo to overtake gtr.

Plus, as far as I know at high speed, gtst with aftermarket turbo can keep up with gtr.

But I might be wrong, I just want to add my opinion.

Another thing, probably you are crazier when it comes down to cornering and the GTR driver scared of you and back off (HAHAHAHA)

:) j/k

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
