Time for updates, Its been a bit of a journey,

Ran the garret 37/88 at just under 600 hp for a while but still felt it should have made more.

Did a refresh on the engine and added a crank trigger assembly plus a crg manifold and a precision 64/66.

ran it to 600 hp on the dyno and the turbo siezed solid. Not happy jan.

Junked the precision and went with an MTA 900. Its a whole new world.

we now sit at 680 hp on 30 lb at 7200 rpm

. thats enough for now but its by no means near its limit.

at 30 lb the MTA is making 80 hp more than the precision at the same boost and has a much fatter curve.

Will post both graphs later.

Oh... That was you! The results were way low, if the Precision crapped out I wonder if it was playing up or there was some other issue the whole time.... Awesome that you have it sorted now, and all is well, but the performance difference between those turbos seems unlikely if both were performing properly - albeit very very impressive if that is a realistic indication of how that turbo goes against a healthy 6466!

For those of you with 400kw atw in a GTR, do you have traction issues when coming onto boost in 2nd gear?

My R32 GTR at the moment is spinning from 4000rpm to redline in second under acceleration and doesn't grip until I have changed to third.

Is this normal or does my 4WD system need looking at?

EDIT: I should mention that tyres are AD08R 255/40/17 with 70% tread on them

Haven't got a front LSD, just standard open centre in there atm. I have a carbon 1.5 way LSD waiting to go in..

The rears just spin up really quickly and it feels like the fronts come in and try to pull the car along. I don't have a 4WD controller either, just using the standard system.

I'd be interested to know if others with similar power have the same problem or whether they get traction all the way through 2nd gear.

Already done Marko. Have completely flushed and bled out the Attesa system in the car and put new transfer case fluid in and still no joy.

I did notice that when trying to bleed the hydraulic system with the electrical connector unplugged to put the pump in bleed mode, the fluid was very slow to come out of the bleeder screw. This leads me to think that the pump isn't working as it should

I got my ATS carbon 1.5 way through Jesse Streeter in Japan. It wasn't cheap though. I went with carbon to try and keep the driveability nice whilst low speed cornering.

I believe quite a few members have gone with the Quaife front diff and are very happy with their performance.

Pretty sure these can be bought for a reasonable price from justjap.

Whereabouts did you get your 1.5 way centre for the front diff?

I've got the engine out at the moment and I'm definitely thinking of changing the diff before re-installing the engine

One of the best mods you can do to a GTR IF you like to get on the power early in a corner.

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
