Sorry mate, I didn't include Falken Azenis that we use at track days! On standard rubber in its previous form, we have managed a 1.06.03 from this car, so we are hoping that sub 60 is within reach. If everything falls into place, it will be ready for the next track day to find out!

I have to agree with the others, sub 60 sec is a big commitment in a road reg car even with the best conditions. Good luck with the project. I will be watching with interest.

Been sourcing the kit for the 34 and just getting used to the new set up..

Also have purchased the new bonnet. Gone with the ADR approve Blits one. Should arrive tomorrow!

Also going to QR for Time Attack tomorrow, be our first chance to really wind it up. Be interesting to see how it goes.

  • 2 weeks later...

After a shakedown at QR, we found that the factory inlet to the turbo was heating up and constricting, limiting air flow. So Ivan and the guys at Hi Power Racing manufactured a new inlet pipe and here are the results.

To say that we are pleased would be a massive understatement!

377.8HP @1.5 bar. :P

We have also started on the suspension, replacing the links & bushes with Nismo items.

The red front bar is just to keep it all legal until the new one arrives!

Snozzle, we pinched that cluster out of our red R34 and it came like that from Japan, so sorry mate - no extra details on that one unfortunately!

The boost is all over the place yet such a good figure of power :)

Ivan has explained to me that the boost drop is due to us retaining the standard manifold - that keeps things interesting!

That was also just a run in Shootout mode to see what we could get out of it, here are the tuning runs.

As in standard exhaust manifold? I'm running the standard exhaust manifold on my GTRS and it holds boost fine with a slight drop towards redline of a couple of psi. With your HKS EVC I would have thought you could get it to hold perfectly.

Is there any adjustability in the Nismo arms?

It doesnt look like there is any at all.

No adjustment in the Nismo arms, the geometry of the setup is designed for performance driving. Trying to get a balance between performance and comfort, while keeping the car road legal.

have you got any runs with the AFR's on it?

No runs with the AFR's that I have seen, but the guys at HPR should have them somewhere. I'll try to track them down.

Got the car back and just went for the first run with the extra neddies and new suspension components... is good.

It felt quick before, but you get a really good shove from it now. Even more importantly, you are coming on boost at 2800rpm and it winds straight out to 1.6bar and the engine just spins out to the redline.

The whole car feels very solid mid corner and it particularly impressive coming out the other side, really getting the power through to the ground.

Will be getting on to the bodywork next...

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
