I always see it heading towards Golden Beach.

Drivers a young 18yo guy with a long girly hippy hair-do.

There is a 17 y/o guy who owns a R33 GTS-T who goes to school in the Buderim area, he has long hair, but i dont think he lives in Caloundra.

bel, lol. yeah she was pretty hot. good call.

i saw a red r32 gts-t revving up around bracken ridge area. it sounded sweet. i was heading the other way.

also saw a white 32 on the M1. prolly on the way to goldcoast.

Speaking of chicks driving nice cars; I was coming home from work last night about 10ish along the centenary highway inbound and passed a beautiful black 350Z being driven by a cute as blonde girl, looked about early 20's. Gave her a wave and booted it up the road and she pulled out and did the same and then turned off at indro. She's obviously doing pretty well for herself to have a car like that! Still had nothing on the line though!

Anyone else here from the far north of the state and let's cut out the references to us old fellas. We may be older than some on this forum but we ain't dead. There is still life to enjoy and what better way to do it than in an R34 GTT.

I am often reminded of a quote that my Flying Instructor sometimes quoted, " There are Old pilots and there are Bold pilots but there are no old bold pilots", when the not so old generations rabbit on about how fast they are.

Sure do agree that they are a mighty car. I have owned a plethora of Datsun - Nissan vehicles ranging from the venerable P510 (1600), P810 (180B SSS limited import), Pulsar (horrible little car) 240K Skyline, Bluebird TRX (what a disappointment that car was), a Maxima and an SP311 (Sports 2000). Best of that lot was the SSS. But now I have the GTT what can I say?

Is that yours in the avatar?

Cheers

    • Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.
    • don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.  
    • I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.
    • Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.
    • yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
