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

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • 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?
