you'd better hope they don't have an MC12 to race you with :)

Maserati MC12

0 - 100 kph 3.7 seconds

top speed 330 kph

Might be a closer race than you think.

I understand how some people dont like the looks of this car, when i first saw it i was horrified, i really was. But the more i look at it, the more i like it, i am really starting to appreciate the attention to detail and all the little things that nissan have done, you can really see they have spent alot of time on it. And it truelly is unique (and in no way does this car resemble a 350z, other than the nissan badge).

Like all good things, the new GT-R is an acquired taste.

Just got back from HK last week, spotted a white GTR in a showroom on new years eve. I wouldn't judge till you see one in the flesh, everything gels a helluva lot better then. I was a little unsure, but after laying eyes on it, its all systems go!!!

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
