As long as you can blab on about 1. SKylines 2. Sh1t 3. Nissans you'll fit right in. Watch out for doof. His name rhymes with something.

1.4 bar will be as stable as driving into a pole.

Your car is boner worthy. Hope it lasts.

Great news. I love solutions. Post your next dyno results (in this thread so we know it's you )

Did the tuner get your timing right? Is your cat a decent one/not too old? Can't see why you wouldn't get into 230kw bracket.

Question: If heat transference is minimal between piping and compressed air after the intercooler , why do we see intake pipes and manifolds being sprayed with nitrogen gas (or whatever it is) during dyno runs, i.e. at AutoSalon?

Quick fix = Kings Cross

I'm not going there yet- but who are you flying with? I looked up flights and Qantas is expensive, but takes you to Tokyo and Jetstar is cheap but only goes to Osaka or Nagoya! Then it's either another flight, train or hitch hiking to get to Tokyo!

Good choice Chris. Sorry can't comment on the dump, but it's 99.9% likely to bolt up because the GTRS is designed to fit the factory dump flange. Good luck champ.

Yes, you have a GTS25-T 'Type M'

Hmmm, Sydney Kid poses an interesting case. Numbers speak. If this mod can be tested and yield some actual numbers saying it's worth it, then you win. I'd say heatsoak would definitely be reduced with this mod, in the way there's a small amount of foam glued to the back of a SMIC. If you test this and it works, i'll be buying a dozen stubbie holders with my next case

Sorry about that mate. The Shire has too many Skyline thefts. Something needs to be done. I hope you have some luck with this case.

Is it possible to convert the sequential TT setup on the RX7 to parallel, as can be done to a Supra? That would be interesting

LMAO GOLD!

Hey Albizert, i'll be late tonight. Work sucks balls, so my guesstimate is i'll rock up at 8.30, maybe 9. You'll be there right? If it's pissing you might not hang around the carpark long. If it's an issue let me know. Chizzeers.

Yeh, there's so much animosity between the models/motors it's a joke. The thread starter probably read through all the sh!t we've posted and is like "WTF? I don't know what to pick? Silvia it is..." Seriously though, i'd be comparing an RB20 to an SR20. They're not that far apart, minus no. of cylinders. I reckon an R32 with a black top SR20 would be a weapon. Wonder what Roy has to say about that?

If you fellas remember that recent post with a video of an R35 versus tuned 3rd gen GTR's? Well the R35 kept up with the quicker 33 and 34 through Tsukuba, which is mighty impressive. What's more, the in-car footage shows that the most composed and relaxed driving experience was in the r35. The 33 driver clipped the 34, they all man-handled the wheel, they were really focusing hard. Yes it makes the R35 appear 'soulless', even boing to an enthusiast. I've had the most fun driving when the sensation of speed, traction and danger were at their peak. But in fact that composed driving experience would allow you to throw the car around harder. It didn't appear to be at its absolute limits. So imagine a highly modified R35, being thrown into corners at the limit of traction? That'll be one f**king hell of a tactile experience.

That must be one fat ass. Makes sense. Wonder why they haven't prohibited it yet. And when will all the states unite??? We'll become a republic called "The United States of Australia" *shudders*

I'm keen on this you POS OK, no need to get loco on us essai But if everyone's in...i won't kick and scream

I beg to differ. It doesn't literally have a soul, what they mean is the car lacks character. I agree with these journos. Of course i've not driven an R35, but hearing and seeing it in the videos it doesn't seem the bulldog the 3rd gen GTR's were. The VR38 engine isn't as raspy as the RB26, it has lots of buttons and technology which makes it appear soft, and it's quiet and composed at high speeds. For speed junkies this is a let down. This is my take on the soulessness commentary. With some modifications, like a larger exhaust, i think the hidden soul of the R35 will come out. I saw that video, and i think it was a bias test. The GTR was quickest from A to B but didn't win. Why? Because they wouldn't allow a 'Nissan' to beat a Ferrari or a Lotus or a BMW. Just imagine what would've happened to the Football hierarchy if Australia beat Italy in the 2006 World Cup? They were booted out over a bullshit penalty, but the balance of power dictated it IMO. I know i'm sounding overly-conspiratorial, but applied to that test, it's obvious Jeremy and the others loved the GTR. But they loved the Euro cars more. They might also create a poor relationship with brands like Ferrari if they let a Nissan bomb beat it in a track test. Food for thought. Exactly. In light of the post made by skyline_man it's a situation where the motoring press, as well as enthusiasts, not having developed a taste for the way GTR's perform. If you like a car that kicks and screams, you'll have to push the R35 much harder than a RWD car.

I'm always skeptical of backyard mods, but this one is OK. As long at whatever you fill the hole with is secure it gives low RPM boost a little more punch. Response is better. Also on partial throttle the boost gauge needle holds, rather than always leaking out and giving a flat feeling- meaning you don't need to hit it if you want to make back that charge. Partial throttle isn't as smooth with this mod, for obvious reasons, but it's not very noticable. I think the benefit of plugging what is basically a boost leak outweighs a tiny negative. Great little mod for the plumb back crew

Why are GTR BOV's less likely to leak? Larger flow path is good for big boost i guess. Anyone know at what power/boost it's good to bin the gtst BOV for a GTR one? Oh yeah i did search dude. It brought me here

Any takers on this one?
