New Skyline Gtr

[fsmout]

hi everyone...

well after some crazy finance stuff went down with my last GTR & subsequent sale before xmas....i took delivery of my new GTR on thursday...and im happy to say that its all going well so far!!

its a 1990 model built at the Tomei workshop.

First stop was Mercury Motorsport for a tune check to find out how its running (air fuel etc)..as it has got a rytech computer and i dont want to blow it up....it pulled very nicely given its running 1 bar & standard intercooler & injectors. Running a little rich dipping into the lower 10's on the dyno but overall a good tune.

Best thing is the handeling!! cusco swaybars & upper links...solid mounts...roll cage...very stiff & nice tein adj coilovers, bit stiff but goes around corners a lot better than my last GTR.

Brakes are standard calipers but upgraded pads discs & braded lines...also tomei master cylinder stopper & ABS removed. i cant believe the difference over my last ones...and my last ones were vspec brembo's!!

Overall, the car needs a little care and attention but should be great when finished!!

u'll probably see me out and about

Good on ya frank!

i havent spoken to you about it yet.

As you know ive driven it.

and its a fabulous car. The Handling, is for sure one of the best setup GTRS i have driven.

Congrats mate!

hopefully we get the bumper sorted soon ay!

i heard the power figure myself, care to enlighten everyone!

thanks mick

yeah the bar wont be a prob mate, and i got a free alarm out of kris for it, yey.....just hope it wasn’t from drifting through an industrial estate LOL..na most of the paint came off and i will get it all shmicked up

well the power figure will remain a mystery which i can neither confirm nor deny...lets just say that the figure is over 250awkw. hhaha. the figure was made with really high intake temps as i was driving it around all day...48deg so i am going to redo it later on

when i get the new intercooler and cold air intake ill redyno and maybe tell...

but the turbo is awesome....the car is so quick its scary...for me anyways LOL

[fsmout]

yeah that would be great

[wrxkilla]

yeah mate

i scraped it pulling out of my garage. sorry about that hope it works out.

The hks T04S is a great mid range turbo. its got the nice small ex housing. Its so much more midrange than my t04r was.

IF you really wanted you could make big power (350kw@4+) with boost, and injectors , powerfc.

but yeh that car will make an awesome track weapon.

let us know when you go out there, and i'll come take vids and photos etc

Congrats again!

Nice buy - I went for a ride in this particular GTR whilst I was up in QLD Goes well and handles unreal.

Good luck with it dude...

[fsmout]

yeah here is the dyno graph....not much boost

[Squizz]

I hate you.

[wrxkilla]

its very impressive, nearly 300kw at 4 on 1 bar.

a good tune with a powerfc and 1.2 bar will be 350kw if the injectors can hold.

[fsmout]

thanks boys,

yeah i think that with some injectors, power FC and massive FMIC it could make some big power....funny the turbo is only rated at 550hp and im nearly making that at 1 bar?? that will be a little down the track....:-( the funds are streched!! hahah

i would of thought it wasent even really getting going at that boost?

[drifterx]

i like it.
