Hi guys and gals,

Would anyone like to enter their car in the Autosalon this weekend? My R32 GTR made 345rwkw before the engine decided to 'take a breather'. It was going in the Autosalon but obviously it's not going to make it anymore.

The car was to be entered as part of a stand for a car club I have started with some friends, but now there is space available for another car.

If you would like your car entered for free, and if you're putting out a few horses, entered into the dyno comp for free as well, PM me with your car's details.

Cheers,

Alan

If there are no takers, i would be interested.

(If you dont get a bettter offer.)

My 33 makes nowhere near that power level though, but its very tidy and the paint is almost flawless.

Only thing that would let me down is a nice set of rims (anyone have some I could borrow for the weekend? - im happy to only put them on at the show and take them off to drive home)

Hey chalon is your GTR grey? If you had it at Boost Worx the other day I saw it in there, Shaun said something about 350ish kWs but engine packed up!

Otherwise thats another GTR that blew something... either way if its yours nice car man!

Oh and my GTRs not Autosalon material... maybe next year ;)

That's my baby, yes. It is a nice car, but I must say yours looked way cleaner than mine. Yours must be the one that's getting the turbos replaced?

I'm not overly down with what happened to my car. When you're pushing a reasonable amount of power, things break. It just happened at a bad time, 'tis all.

Actually my car is supposed to have an R33 N1 engine, but I have no idea what exactly this means in relation to the internals of the engine. We'll know for sure once Shaun has a bit of a dig around.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for their support on these forums. It's the sense of helping each other out that makes this forum such a great resource. I've had a couple of good offers already, but if you've got a 400kw beast hiding in your garage and want it to be admired by many people at this year's Autosalon, don't be shy and get in touch with me please :P

On another note, anybody have some nice rims in a RWD offset they'd be willing to loan for the weekend?

Cheers,

Alan

Nah that was probably the OTHER grey GTR in there hehe. Mine was just in for a major service, and dyno run. Need new fuel pressure regulator apparently, running lean under boost.

Anyway I'll stop whoring up your thread. :huh: Good luck in fixing your car man, definitely one of the tougher GTRs going round :thumbsup:

Matt is stilll away, but I was thinking about grabbing his GTR and putting it in Salon .... don't think I can be stuffed though. I think it is making closer to 500rwkw? Feels like it in the passenger seat :thumbsup:

Maybe PM Munro - his R33 streeter is making over 450rwkw these days and looks a treat!

Thanks for all the support and generosity! You guys rock.

At this stage looks like we've got our bases covered. We're certainly not going to have the most powerful cars there, but we'll have something different.

Look out for a V35 350GT-8 if anybody's going. Stock, but at least it's relatively rare at this stage at least >_<

Taken from Matt's post..... OMFG!

631.3 ft/lb torque

578 kw at all 4

775.2 hp at all 4

that was running 2bar

On another note.......

When will/should we be expecting to see John's car back at the strip?

Matt's GTR has been detuned since then - it was doing some interesting things at that power level, so the boost has been reduced. I think it is running around 500rwkw now - still a lot!

Given that it looks like AIR may never reopen, I think John is planning to run the racecar at drag combat in Perth in November. If he does I will definitely go over for it!

I took his new BMW545i for a spin last night - OMFG what an unbelievable car!!! *drooooooooooooooool* 245kw V8 in 5 Series luxury!

RH9 will dominate all!!!!!

Get back to teach biatch! But yeah Keir's car is pr0n!

Like going all over the road? :) Jelous that you got to go for a ride! That thing would be rediculously fast!

Whats the story there i thought they were "upgrading" it?

Yeah i noticed they had picked up one, i was gonna talk to Erica about it. Those things are hot!

AIR can't give us a definite opening date (even though they originally said July 2006) .... and from what I hear not a single thing has been done yet to the timing system or track - I am not sure where the legal battle over ownership currently stands, but sure as hell BJ won't be spenging any money on the complex until it is all sorted out.

It is very poor form for racing in SA - where are we to be expected to test our cars out and get some racing out of our systems?

Stupid AIR!

Agreed!

I mean isn't there some possiblility for some Government funding of some sorts?

Look at all the other facilities in other states compared to ours!

WSID is aweomse! Why can't we get something approved like that for here? Wasn't that mainly government funded?

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
