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

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
