Now.... I had a little blat with a R31 a few nights ago. And got a little bit Depressed. Now ive been in many r31's and my R30 feels a hell of alot quicker and definitly gets up to 100k Quicker.

This r31 was near stock. Just a exhasut and it was Auto.

No gain, No pulling. Even.

Now my l20et has, a Large FMIc, 600hp Fuel pump, Rebuilt Head, a rb20det turbo. DEemissiond, Huge intake mods. and im running 8psi. which i know is low.

On my old setup smaller fmic, same fuel pump ect, but my old turbo, o got 109rwkw and 350nm of torque, In pricibal ive only seen rb30e's do 102rwkw mark.

So..... Im confused

You sure that thats all it had done to it??? Im pretty sure last 31 i went in wasn't that quick hey...

by the sound of it is never a good indiciation

when my r31 was first boosted it had the stock exhuast it was quieter than a hyundai excel.

the car could of had n/a work, multi-throttles aftermarket ecu, cam etc. thing is, u never really know what the other guy has got.

i remember the look on a xr6 ba p-platers face....

i understand where you are comming from, But this car looked factory, Auto, Factory mags. Standard height, lol. And a droopy exhasut muffler.

It was a Young guy driving. It just amazed me in how my car feels so much quicker than a r31 to only be as "fast" as a r1 rb30e. The r30 coupe is alot lighter. :D

Nick my r31 used to haul ass and i had done was put on a podfilter, remapped ecu, extractors and a more free flowing exhaust. WHen dynoed It was putting out 75kw at the rear wheels with 500Nm Torque which isnt much kw but alot of torque and it was extremely loud!

Keep in mind what other people have said about the mods, for all you know that R31 Could've had a Rb30 Block with a DOHC head and a huge turbo....so yeah. I know what u mean tho its kinda gutting when you find out your L20et isnt that fast. My mates twin 45mm sidedrafted 2l cortina is even with my car...

depending on r31 model the power figures range quite a bit, anywhere from 80rwkw- 120rwkws in N/A form, don't be dishartened as alot of r31 boys like to keep thier cars very stock looking. theres a thread on a 308 TT powered r31 at the moment that still runs the stock silo wheels.

Just to throw a spanner in your thoughts, I have a mate that had a VL Turbo Exec, the turbo badge was taken off and stock VN Calais mags fitted, and to the naked eye, it looked like a VL Exec with Calais Wheels until anyone wanted to have a go.

To quote a well known line, "NEVER under estimate your oponent, always expect the unexpected"

Cheers,

good and valid point, Note taken :), the imagae of the large amount of flames comming out the exhaust told me otherwise that it isnt stock.

Ive been tweaking my Air/fuel adjustments and gained alot of mid range torque. Still running ritch at crusing thorottle possion's so more tweaking will gain me alot more power i presume

+ Rb25det fuel requaltors make a nice upgrade. I noted mine made the system run Mega lean just under 0 Manifold pressure and made a flat spot in eccal. Installing it, Well its run's ritcher and the fuel delivery on boosting up is alot better.

Not i am taking all this off a Air/fuel Guage and a new NGK o2 sensor. gives very stable readings.

hell yeah!, any turbo work or a intercooler makes a HUGE diffrence.

i wish i had a dyno sheet's to show you what diffrence it makes

Will the bigger turbo & intercooler support a 3 inch system now! without causing power loss problems. Dump pipe back???

Cheers.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
