That thing is so tidy, saw the article on it.

Why does it have a GTR badge on it though?

Doesn't it just have a beefed up 2.5?

it's not a GTR badge for starters, It's a 2500R badge (I have no idea how he got it or where he had it made or anything)

and yes, it is just a beefed up RB25 but ... long story short, there is no such thing as a 2500R...

Legend goes that there were 3 cars taken off the production line to sort out a special type of car, like the 400R, but now imagine if the 400R never got put into production... You are left with 3 prototypes that lead to nothing...

That's what Malcolm bought... a pre production prototype. Albeit there is only one left and it's his, but there's no paperwork to backup such claims and how it looks now is definately NOT how it looked when he got his hands on it... it looks way better in my opinion, but some reckon he ruined the heritage (if it exists). He took a stab at how it would have looked and driven, and I think he did a good job!

That's my understanding on the subject :D

V-Cam...shame to mod such a rare car but it must go like stink

fark im so jelous of people that can afford this type of machinery

awesum titanium induction pipping aswell, but yeh it is a shame to mod a car this rare, its like modifying a z-tune

The Z-tune that landed here copped a poxy looking stereo install, from memory....

And a bloody ugly steering wheel.

Its a bit of a let down seeing it in real life (have been at Wakefield for powerplay trackdays where it and other rare cars are in attendance), there's so much hype over it, yes its rare and faster than most (if not all) of the factory GTR's but it seems out of place at a day like that where most of the GTR's there are highly modified (and faster) than the famous ZTune.

From memory, the 400R is RWD?.....if so, that would make a fun Dutton/rally car mated with a 2.8 stroker RB26

Nah, i think you're thinking of the R33 LM GT-R Steveo which was used in LeMans. The huge squarish widebody.

    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
