I'm a van... I'm a van... suck my diiiiiiiiiiiick... I'm a van.

:rant:

I was just saying...

Don't worry :D

I know your cars a wingless.

BMW make vans..?

hey thanks scotty

how many pages is it

the one im looking for should be 150+ pages

its 204 pages and when you scroll to page 4 it says modification notice: GTR model has been introduced, i went through it a bit and it has the whole engine diagram and stuff like that.

yeah?

link me so i can see.... major cbf to look for myself atm :rofl:

i think you should do it right and go defi, it will go well with your car and you wont have these fake defi ones and think damn i wish i waited a bit longer and just got defi's.

I couldn't spend the money on defis.. just a gauge really they are so expensive.. I got cheap mechanical boost gauge and works fine.. hits 10PSI and stops like the car should

thats fair enough, im the opposite when i see something i want ill save up and get it i wont settle for second best, i like to buy the best when i can.

Also is that all that your gtr is running on 10psi?

yeh mate 10-11 psi AFAIK there is a 10 psi restrictor in it which is indicated by a yellow band on one of the 'boost tubes' (not sure what they are actually called >_<)

if i had a 34 gtr then might be a different story with gauges though :D , i would spend money on accessories depending on how much the car is worth in the first place i guess.. my general rule is to spend half the cars value doing it up.. IE if you buy a 10k GTST then spend like 5k max on mods.. or else your just throwing money away just my 2cents.

like my brother got his GTST for like 14k.. and has spent like 14k on it over the last few years on things like rims performance mods etc.. and now his kicking himself he didn't just buy a GTR.

dont need gauges for r34 gtr, i got the screen :O

thats a good rule to go by with mods too.

i didnt think you could ever find a gtr still with the boost restrictor in lol. mine was removed before i got it and it runs 1 bar and sometimes peaks a bit higher which im assuming is normal.

i think you should do it right and go defi, it will go well with your car and you wont have these fake defi ones and think damn i wish i waited a bit longer and just got defi's.

Yeah i probably will go defi

want a boost gauge and oil pressure too

pics when i find my cam cable

well hurry the fuck up then

10psi? lol try 20 in the evo >_<

yeh get some decent pics up, yesterday was good weather !

going to get my mate to take some good ones soon, when we both have free time

also in other news my NACA carbon vent came in today, just too late getting home to get it from post office :D

I think I'm queen of breaking that rule. Over $80,000 on a car that cost me $10,000. But I've had it for a long time.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
