Hi all, i'm new to the forum and also new to GTR ownership, so thought I might share my new ride. It took me 6 months to find this car, but it was well worth it. I'm a mechanic and have owned 24 cars, mostly imports so I knew what I was looking for. Compared to most of the GTRs I had looked at this car is immaculate, with no accident history, no rust, has been well serviced, hasn't got a rattle or squeek in it, and has some tasty additions to boot!!
March '90 model
110ks (genuine as far as I can see, belt changed feb '03 @ 104ks)
Black
17' work rims with potenza g3s
HKS ball bearing turbos (I think 2510s)
HKS split dumps into full 3.5' system
HKS oil cooler and remote filter setup
MINES retuned ROM
Possible cams and/or adj. cam gears
Straight off the boat pulled 228kw at all fours in shootout at 1.2 bar, but it doesn't make that boost till 5500-6000 rpm even in 3rd gear.
I know it needs some form of boost control (has restricter removed)
but any suggestions as to why it takes so long to climb onto boost will be welcomed. My tuner also suggested it may have a full MINES built motor, as it is painted in a goldy/silver hue, apparently their colour. The compression of 160 accross all four, HKS gear, no oil leaks and lumpy idle may also support this idea.
Anyhoo, any feedback on my boost issue would be great, cheers!!
