yeah, the car was fine on the last track day, but i have since heard some bad stories about GTR's on street tyres... i dont wanna have to buy a new RB26. :)

I think I may be a case of the old sump Baffle & or no surge protector. 12 trackdays no sump baffle or surge restrictor, on street tyres. Last year EC warm up lap BANG! broken inlet valve #3 right beside where the surge protector shim goes?

On inspection nothing except a metal fatigue caused from surges of hot and cold oil could explain. $4k for a new engine, $1k to repair turbo (Inlet valve squeezed past the Outlet valve made its way out to the turbo), $4k for the labour, $5k on go fast & track longevity bits. Two parts which were included, a sump baffle and a restrictor shim $500.

I think so many thing can go wrong at anytime, there are other related factors such as heat, age of car, KM travelled, how hard a life it has had, its hard to say exactly what goes wrong.

If you don’t have things like a bigger radiator, oil cooler, larger oil pump, baffle, restrictor, I think personally you can limit your risk by keeping the RPM’s below 7000 and not to think you are playing PS2.

My thoughts only!

nah, its easy, after each session you just go to "GT Maintenance" and choose the oil change option. you see the black oil drain out and loevely freash green oil come in instead. Plus, you get back about 5% of horsepower and it only costs 250 credits

Sorry Oz I'll be taking the work vehicle out for a spin. I'll wave when I come past at around 4pm though.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their reliability is proven, performance can be predictable, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
