i got a stock gtr (ie filters, exhaust, twin plate, ebc, stock turbos) and simon out launches me, i can only manage a 1.7 60" with a 11.8 pass, and hes doing 1.6 60" checky bastard.

i launch in between 6/7000 on the up rev, anything lower it just bogs down on a preped track.

that is a run between me and simon.

i was running 1.2bar for that pass, and another so i could back up the time. normally i do a 12.1 at .95bar.

simon did alot of research and with anthony guiding him in the right direction and building the whole thing from him , from engine to tune, u cant go wrong. as u said the result speak for themselves :D

jesus pnblight cant u say once that u think single turbos are ok, u are constantly on ya bloody twin turbo bandwagon, gives ya the shits, and simons has done an awesome job and proved it where it counts, and congrats simon u deserve plenty of respect mate :P

just an observation peter in the years ive been on the forums u never give credit to the single setups ever!

cheers

Brad

i have not once talked badly of simon combo in this thread or any BUT i have only dis-agreed with his calm about responce in relation to twin HKS2530. Is it not ok for me to dispute a calm if i feel it is incorrect and at all times i have tried to make my point, without get personal or disrespectfull for to simon if someone feels i havent i appoligise honestly. As for my standings about single verse twin well i'm entittled to arent i.

yep

your a pussy if you dont launchg a gtr at anything more than 7000rpm.

it needs it and wants it hard.

best 60footers with big big launch.

:P:D:D

hahaha

i was bumping mine off at 8500-9000 when i had that gearbox in.

f**k it loved it

bout 2.5 meters of wheel spin on re55s's then all grip baby!

at 9000rpm i'd be more worried about the crank/rods/everything being ok with a stock or unknown motor. I don't think big launches are a gearbox problem as i don't know anyone who has broken first gear. it can be a clutch problem though!

Mashrock, what kind of 60ft times did you get with the 9000 rpm launch?

Put car back on dyno last night . With 1psi more boost now 25psi it went 627rwhp or 467rwkw's . Getting very hard to hold it on the dyno now as it keeps baking the tyres. With three people in the boot this was the best we could do with it . Can see the graph is very up and down trying to hold traction .

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
