hrm...okay dave...

goodluck finding a *performance* car that has not had its arsed flogged...thats what they were built for mate. if you wanted to buy a car that hasnt had its ass flogged, you should start looking at bmw 318's or magna's or something?!?!?

and btw. knowing that this car IS capable of 300kw is bloody great! I know that the engine is running as it should be!

Just to update, the car is still for sale.

It's worth noting that the car made 230kW or less for most of the time that I had it. It only did about 3000km or so with the big turbo set-up. 300kW was actually a conservative tune, if we had really pushed it there was more power to be had. The engine is in excellent condition, as any test will show.

As for the camber question, I believe it was around 1.25 degrees negative.

You are better off with 18x9 at both ends, my set are 8-inch at the front and not the right offset for a GT-R anyway.

Ben,

Any specific reason y gtrs run equal width wheels front and rear?

Somone on the forum mentioned it was due to the need for the wheel diameters of the front and rear wheels to be equal for the attessa system to function properly. (Front and Rear wheels need to be travelling at same speed)

But i would imagine...with careful calculation of tire profiles, equal diameters would still be achievable, while allowing for a wider rear tire (since a gtr is rwd most of the time?)

Yes, you do need equal rolling diameters. I have seen GT-Rs with different-size wheels front to rear, but since the guards are designed to suit same-size at both ends, why not fit them? Unless you make the rear guards much larger, you will be compromising the front, rather than improving the rear, if you see what I mean

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
