How far are you guys gonna go on the tuning side of things?

As you probley know the ECU is untuneable / or very hard and the turbos are intergrated into the exhaust manifold...

So here is a cool little fact. Sure there is a 180 KMH speed limiter which is linked to the gps. In Japan when the car sences that it is at a racing circut it removes the 180kmh speed limiter.

How cool is that!!!

Not sure that targa roads are in its system but if you were doing more than 180kmh more than a hand full of times at targa you would be insane.

haha count me insane then :banana: even our little one got to 180 a few times, there are some good long straights....I hate to think the speeds this thing will hit :angry:

I understand mines and probably others have computers without the speed cut already - I'm sure Just Jap will sort out something for this car before targa too

that's great if your in Japan, sux if you live anywhere else.

The car will be well over 180k heaps of times at Targa without any worries in the world. Most of the field do it as well.

Considering how much the car is, what your outlook is about the car, dont you think for it to be taken apart in what looks like a shed, a little sad??

Im not saying that paintshop or JustJap is somehow cheap, just kinda an unfitting end/renewal to a car hardly 1,000kms old.

I mean just look at whats holding this 'GOD' of Nissan... a freakin old wooden block...

It may be a new car...but at the end of the day its just a car. You are lucky i dont have one as i subscribe to Bird-Dog engineering (Cheap, cheap-Ruff, ruff )

Hats off to them for getting in there and being the ones to dedicate all the extra time and expense associated with being the first to do something locally

Just bring it home in one piece :)

Well if the year continues the way it has they'll be running in wet conditions, which should favour the GTR a bit as far as traction and handling goes.

Actually driving the thing and getting used to it could be interesting though, the bastards as wide as most tasmanian roads. :)

A Mines rep told me they had hit 350 in theirs,which is off the clock in one of those.

Couldnt think of a better car to use in the wet.

Thats almost exactly what Jason White said about his R34 after targa :)

I think it went more like "In the wet there's no car id rather have than the GTR" or something

I really don't know about that. Having done some wet track days there has been no chance of us keeping up with guys like Jeff Beaumont in his EVO in those conditions. The GT-R's are still a little hard to get fully on the gas in really wet conditions compared to those full time AWD cars.

Each to their own i guess, maybe it was a comment insipred by the result he got

Still, if i remember correctly he sold it off, got a drive for the lambo guys and the car caught on fire?

Wonder where that R34 is now

I dont know about that.

Mark won 28 stages out of 32 in last years NSW dutton and won every wet stage which was about half, including motokhanas and short sprints.

even won some stages in the wet when other competitors did the same stage in the dry!! lol

gtr's are a great all rounder. :D

p.s: when their modified of course

yes GTR is king! well at least if you could somehow have a 1250kg GTR it would be. to my mind the only thing holding the old GTRs back is weight, and perhaps a little bit of nose heavy distribution. nothing $80,000 of bits and work can't fix though!

Ask Marlin on here if he has seen it around recently..... :(

Oh, ok ill PM him :D

gtr's are a great all rounder. :D

Absolutly!!!

1250kg GTR it would be

Now that would be really nice, then add 650hp and you're set

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
