PM-R33

Oh I know that is why they have a million gears

For a fast car you want exactly what I said, torque to hit its maximum as early as possible and to hold flat for as long as possible (for as many rpms as possible). Vehicles good for towing have a similar characteristic, they reach maximum torque very early in the RPM range, however they don't hold flat for a long rpm and drop off very quickly as revs climb. (Think of a diesel van that loses all power at 3500rpm). So have a look at this very quick dodgy paint graph I did. In no way is this accurate or based on anything, it's mearly to help understand it all and to get a visualisation. (I swear, if this graph starts an argument....) You can kind of see a basic relationship of what certain "general" cars have. Obviously every car is different and therefore every torque graph will be different. But the basics still remain similar.

"The only reason I lost was because currently my maximum torque is at around 4000rpm, however next week I'll alter my setup and get it 1500rpm sooner and smoke you fool!" Hmmm doesn't have the same ring to it as others lol.

Think of it this way; probably the easiest way to think of it. You want a torque curve to hit its maximum torque as early as possible and keep holding that torque without falling off to much as revs climb. So obviously the best possible torque graph is a near vertical line that then holds flat for as long as possible before it goes down. For reference something like the N45 engine in the twin turbo 335i BMW makes its maximum torque at around 1200rpm. This is why they don't feel like a turbo car with next to no lag but more like a V8 that revs high. It's all about this maximum "area" enclosed by this torque "curve".

Considering his post was from 2008....

BAHAHAHA!

What you mean to say is "coilpacks" not "igniters". On a S2 the igniters are part of the coilpacks. On a S1 they run an external igniter.

Yep S2 is different because the igniters are part of each coil pack instead of running an external igniter.

$50 maybe? Considering no one really needs them they are worth next to nothing.

Cheers man, much appreciated

Hmmm I think it will be cutting it to close. They are closed for one week for holidays and open back up on the 1st of November. So I don't think there will be enough time. Cheers for the offer though!

If that is a bit of a dig at me, I in no way, shape or form think my car deserves to be in this thread, only reason I posted it up was because some one asked to see it and I happened to have brand new photos from today

When does your container leave?

She's no where near the quality of a lot of the cars posted up, but here she is Went out to take some photos today of the new seats and carbon cooling panel. Going to go out soon again to try and take some night time photos.

Just to help with your sale, the clutch line will fit a R32 and R33 GTR

f**king lol at all the engine out comments.

I remember reading your build thread and loved it. Voted

Couldn't f**king agree more.

Hahaha no worries man. No more clutch dumps

To easy. Haha ok. How on earth did you break your driveshaft? You going to go something aftermarket? Ok. Delivery time I don't know exactly. I will transfer the money to the US probably on the 1st of November. I don't think delivery would be much longer than a week or two? We'll see. Ok.

Yeah I just looked at a picture of when I bought mine. Mine definetely look a lot different. Even the colours are different (black instead of grey and a darker yellow).

What new GTR have you got Ash?
