Willall Racing Buys Australia's First Official Complied/street Registered R35gtr

[SLED]

haven't Croydon (CRD) got a 35 that they're doing nasty things to?

[Damo_R34]

yeah, theres a handful of R35's in Aus, but one that is road registered. Adelaide FTW lol.

Matt, not sure how well a high alcohol fuel would go in a car that is driven as often as yours isn't.

Alky loves the moisture.

Will, that's exactly what Shaun & I were talking about yesterday.

I've only just learnt that E85 exists - been hiding under a rock. It might be a case of switching between E85 and pump 98 tunes, I'm not sure. Example: in goes a tank of E85 for some fun, run it low, in goes a full tank of pump 98, switch tune over to 98, fuel system has mostly 98 in it and can sit in the shed till next time. It seems good in theory. Then again I could be way off - Martin would be the man to confirm that one.

Obviously the injectors need to have enough capacity to support the E85 and fuel pressure will need to be spot on etc.

One thing is sure, we'll certainly do a Martini 110 tune.

Drove the car yesterday and was able to use full throttle for the first time in about 2 years! It does in 3rd what it use to in 2nd. I like it.

I notice someone mentioned Skylines Downunder in this thread. Good old SDU. I can still recall registering on SDU when it had about 100 or so members - in about 1997 or thereabouts. Times have certainly changed!

Anyway back on topic; Can't wait to see what a tuned, exhaust upgrade, boost increase R35 GT-R can achieve on the drag strip. It's only a matter of time till people start run high 10's with a mild R35. Events like Targa West and Targa Tas are also going to be interesting as more R35's start popping up.

Can't you just like, take the turbos off and put some big juicy sized ones on and see what happens?

[m3gtr]

No.

[J - Rad]

why?

[heslo]

The turbos are inbuild into the manifolds

[J - Rad]

Ohh, didn't even know that! God, Nissan know what they're doing then hey. Way to destroy the hopes and dreams of others. No big single turbos for the new GTR's for a while then.

[heslo]

Give it time

[m3gtr]

Hope that helps...

Was looking for that pic too Adam, yeah as you can see, one whole unit

to quote a certain new zealander seagull.... 'thts sht...'

[Nightcrawler]

Nah won't take long at all for the tuning companies to make some T3 outlet style exhaust manifolds to bolt all the normal turbochargers to - I would be very surprised if someone hadn't made one already and has it in testing pending release for sale to the general public. Remember that the Yanks have grabbed onto marketing of the GTR and have already started throwing money at development - not to mention all of the decent Jap tuning houses have had one for 9+ months now.

[SLED]

the turbine clearly looks integrated but nothing stopping the compressor housing from being detached by the looks of things......don't know where your going to find a suitable replacement though. Like Andrew said, pretty soon you'll be able to replace that whole setup anyway.

[Martin Donnon]

And you can only thank the good son of rajab above for that.

Hopefully this integrated approach will stop some of the general public turning these engines into laggy slovenly performers through the midrange with badly thought out turbo upgrades, which has been happening in the RB world for years. Amen

Jarrad when they finally do come up with an aftermarket replacement for the 'V' engine (which they will), it will still be a dual setup, unlike the inline RB's

Another way of looking at it.....

With the stock GTR IHI RHF55 turbochargers each good for around 35lb/min airflow with reasonable efficiency and using boost of around 1.4 bar,

The answer to a properly tuned stock power output would be close to 370 - 390kw at all four wheels without changing the turbines.

Now, correct me if I am wrong here, but that would be more power than 99.9% of most Skyline owners would ever get close to having, or even possibly dreaming about. Nissan should be thanked for using such capable turbochargers on these engines in the first place. They make even the 34N1 turbochargers look like jelly wristed pea shooters in comparison

thats a good way of looking at it.... and a good analysis of the 34n1 turbos lol...thats decent power for sure.

Look its a forum, anyone can have an opinion - but heres the facts....

R35 GTR Stock

0-100km/h - 3.5 sec

0-400M - 11.5/11.6sec @ 120-122mph

Now to get this pace from an R32/33/34 GTR you will need -

TD05 kit/GT2540 turbochargers or similar running 1.5 bar boost

700cc+ fuel injectors

Upgraded fuel pump

Programmable management FC or similar with a correctly carried out tune

Front pipes

Full exhaust system with cat removal

Upgraded twin/triple clutch

Possible intercooler upgrade

and be prepared to build an engine for it in the very near future...

as well as being in a constantly harrassed and defectable car

This isnt a guess. We have done our fair share of GTR modification over the years.

Nissan have done a very good job of building a genuine supercar that thankfully DOESNT need a bucket of cash thrown at it to make it go like it should.

That is the true value of R35

Having said that the rb is late 80's technology and i believe it did very well to last this long....time to step aside i think, although the R35 is yet to be proven 100%. Time will tell...i have complete faith.
