well we've finally sorted out that the father in laws gtr is No.5 of the original 100 delivered to australia.

I've read that there is a yellow restrictor tab in the control lines that can be removed for more power. He hasn't done this himself and it was delivered new to him. He's not sure whether nissan oz may have done it. Can anyone point out where this tab is supposed to be if it's still in place please?

Cheers

Michael

I guess there is one way to tell. If it does 0-100 in 4.7 seconds and a 12.8 quarter then the tab has been removed.

Love a picture. Anyone from nissan australia?

I have an aussie GTR and the restrictor doesnt seem to be in place. It runs 12psi. Now I dont really know if the Aus versions were delivered with or without the restrictor.

Here is an engine bay of an AUS Delivered R32 GTR.

The owner is on SAU and a thread was made as the owner is selling it... From memory...

The amount of effort the owner has done to store and keep the car in a ridiculously Mint... And I mean Mint condition, is excellent!

You could eat sushi off the rocker cover LOL! :laugh:

The Yellow Boost Restrictor Tab is where I have circled in Red. (There should be a Yellow marking on the hose but over time it's worn off).

Supposedly you unplug the hose and squeeze out the restrictor and plug the hose back from where you pulled it from, in result having a safe factory boost increase...

(BTW I have NOT done it myself). I can still feel my Restrictor in place.

Thanks so much.

tab was in. was.

father in law is a mucho happy man. he said it felt like he'd been driving with the choke on. the car is much smoother and more responsive now.

He'll be wanting new turbo's or something next.

Then again, that might not be for a decade going by his current trend.

No worries!

So how much is the car boosting now?

Stock boost is +0.7 Bar... What is it now?

I'll find out about boost. Exhaust was replaced 12 months ago. His mate owns a muffler shop and imported an r32. He wanted to copy the father in laws system in return for a free 3" system. Turns out the 2 vehicles were very different underneath.

New turbo's. Can't see it. Car still gets serviced by the same nissan dealer that sold it to him and is bog stock except for new exhaust. The other car is a 2005 A6 3.0L tdi twin turbo - more the daily drive. 165kw and 450nm which I'm trying to talk them into chipping - 200kw and 550nm with better fuel economy.

He's a big lad and after trading the HK gts for a gtho III for a walkinshaw he grabbed the skyline. couldn't fit in a ferrari and he'd done his research and wanted the gtr. At 68 and after driving it for near 20 years he still loves it.

Should have kept quiet and may have been an even match in the forester. not now.

Thanks again.

Dont let him modify the Aussie GTR, they will be worth a fortune in the future.

True that, I think ppl will appreciate it more as it being unmodified, maybe with the exception of putting on a nice high flow street exhaust would still be fine.

    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
    • And we shall have to presume that Canada is the same?
    • In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.
    • I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
    • Nah, the OEM CAI pipe is still installed behind the bumper, it is about 5" x 3" oval at the engine side, tapering down to a 3" pipe behind the bumper where it gets all the ambient air it needs Engine side of radiator support OEM intake pipe "oval hole" that is right in front of the filter My OEM NC1 CAI pipe: From NC2 onwards, below pic, they come slightly smaller at 2.75" diameter with corrugations and a resonance chamber to reduce intake noise, lucky for me my NC1 has the bigger noisy one, LOL   Basically, the "sealed" airbox will just get ambient air from a 3" pre filter intake tube that is the same size, 3" as the rest of the intake pipe post filter, and if a 3" intake isn't big enough to flow enough air for 150 killerwasps then there are other issues The whole intake is basically the same length as OEM, but it is now about 30% bigger from the airbox back through to the new intake plenum than OEM, and the intake plenum is port matched to the head And the intake is now about 30% bigger than my 2.5" exhaust, so the suck, squeeze, bang and blow black magic should be fine, well, to my uneducated understanding of fluid dynamics anyway Talking the the guys at MX5 Mania, it may even make a few more killerwasps as the intake isn't sucking hot air, especially off idle or when in slow traffic when it would be sucking hot air  As for the difference in IAT, I haven't logged IAT yet, as I don't currently have a OBD2 reader, but I will have a play with my thermal lazer thingie next time I take the car out to sèe how hot stuff gets under the bonnet near the intake filter prior to installing the air box, my "assumption is it has to be much better after the air box is in and sealed up compared to what it is now The aftermarket "performance" CAI elephant in the room: Aftermarket CAI intakes typically have the air filter tucked up behind the bumper, with a 2.5" intake tube (the OEM intake pipe is actually about 30% bigger than the fancy pants "aftermarket" version.....WTF), and you need to remove the bumper to service the filter, which is a PITA Like dis:
