Even better in that mag JC jumps into a F430 Scuderia and the Stig 'tries' to catch him in the new GTR...

..can't wait for it to hit our shores (the mag that is :whistling: ) so I can have a read.

Nope, JC drives the 430 but the Stig doesnt follow him in the GTR.

Its GTR vs 911 Turbo. And its not JC driving the GTR, its Bill Thomas.

The Stig does pop out of a bush at the Nurburgring, jumps into the GTR for a few laps and then disppears back into the bushes. :lol:

To be expected. Promote the new japanese superweapon on a yankee redneck car website, and this is what will happen.

Its exactly what happens when people talk about the Z06 or the VE Commodore on here. Neither are bad cars, for the price and intended market.

Hell, when the Veyron was released there were a whole bunch of SAU keyboard warriors saying how its shit and Skylines are better. :/

hahaha, i bet some people said something like "why should i spend 1 mill on a Veyron when i can spend 1 mill on a gtr and be faster than everything else "

Its like you've got a direct connection to the Internet. :banana:

Its either that or "I could spend half that and make a 1000hp GT-R that would run faster than a 9.8s quarter and use the change to buy XYZ", ignoring the fact that the Veyron can repeat those numbers with a few thousand kilometres between minor services (rather than a pull-down after every run), can do 400km/hr with rock solid stability, doesn't require the use of ear plugs, go around bends, and not be slower than a pedestrian when off-boost, and every other drivability compromise you'd have to make in a big-power GT-R.

That's true, nobody with a hot modded GTR talks about what happens below 4000 rpm. What happens in Ball bearing single turbo club, stays in Ball bearing single turbo club

the new z06 is actually quite good.. does 105km/h in first gear.. im a big fan of it.

The GTR hasnt lost a single comparison/race so far.. i didnt think it would be quicker then the R8, but hell!!! :)

Lets not forget that the owner of the Veyron can choose to also spend big bucks on a fast GTR if they wanted to (if you have 1 mil euro to spend on a car then you can easily buy as many GTRs as you wanted to), while the GTR owner most probably couldn't afford to buy a Veyron.

      Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?

      I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      I dunno. I just go off what I know works. On RB20, the idle switch meant something to the ECU and the potentiometer was ignored. In Nistune, with the switch unplugged, you could bridge the terminals in the loom connector and see IDLE come on and off. Not so by moving the pot. The R32 RB20 ECU and the 26 ECU both look like this. Sure there is the "throttle sensor" (pot) on pin 38, and also sure, the idle switch is also directly wired to the TCU, whereas the pot is only directly conected to the ECU. But I am sure that the throttle position from the pot is passed to the TCU across the data bus on pins 21, 22 & 31. Maybe the ECU likes to know throttle position, but it sure as hell doesn't use it to determine the idle condition. Meanwhile, on the later engines, like the 33 25DET and my Neo, you remove the TPS and move the pot to-from the 0.45V position, and IDLE comes and goes in Nistune. No throttle switch on the ECU diagram. Just the pot.

      So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....馃ぃ) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 路 Posted

      Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
