After getting sucked in to assisting in another GTR engine in job on a gtr yesterday I can confidently say,

A. I dont friggin like gtr's

B. I dont friggin want a gtr

C. I no longer even respect gtr's

Matter of fact if I got my shirt sleeve caught in the door of a gtr I would chew my arm off the get away from the pos.

Any body prepared to pay the price of pain involved in owning and working on a gtr is about as sane as a monkey on meth.

SO HOW COME I KEEP GETTING ROPED IN TO WORKING ON THE USELESS DAMN THINGS. :/:):)

just put a rb26 in my r34gtt its awsome couldent be happier put out 300.9rwkw at 16 psi and 850nm of torqe at the wheels goin 4 final tune in december on 1.5bar of boost hoping 4 450rwkw

I agree with Noel and PM-R33. They are a pain in the ass to work on most of the time. One of the reasons the cars are expensive to maintain is that to keep your sanity you have to pay someone else to do the hard stuff.

+1 on developing mania from working on GTR's, I am about as ham fisted as they come too. I sure as hell hope the rewarding feeling from doing all the work yourself is frickin' worth it... like 1000 orgasms all at once!

its only hard to work on if u havent worked on any euro car... im a mechanic by trade... gtrs arent that hard to work on at all... i put my motor in n had it running in about 5hrs... without any cuts or bruises.. :)

euro cars on the other hand.. like bmw.. or a merc.. ever taken a motor out of them??? especially a 6cyl+???

if u havent.. then stfu.. gtrs r a piece of cake by comparison... BUT rb20s r even easier hahah :bunny:

Totally agree, I work on euro trash everyday and when i work on my car or a friends jap car its a real pleasure :P .

Thats an experience that wont be forgotten, ever.

Do it properly though, get a quick GTR (300+kw atw), 7500rpm, first selected, step off clutch, be ready to slam second, look at passengers face its always mushed into the seat cause they're not expecting what just happened

haha

I havent tried a launch yet.

must do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

although Im a little worried about leaking injectors....... awaiting new Orings'nseals

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
