Ok cool. Thanks guys, will try and also report.

Yes, but HOWEVER as you mentioned in the earlier posts, weight is a big issue AS WELL AS gear ratios. I doubt a small car ratio is enough to transform these Fords and Holdens into drag machines considering they weigh roughly 1700kg tare.

A VN commodore or EA Falcon would both come at or under 1400kg and both have 120-130kw probably 130-140kw with exhaust and a CAI. So gearing them up as drag machines would work well for the 0-100 sprint. As far as them being good quarter mile warriors, I dont think so, with those sorts of gear ratios one would imagine they would be topping out quite early.

as was said by franga, the brand new ones may weight that much but not the older ones, but the newer ones are also a lot more powerful than the old ones. a bit of work done to a BA xr6 (non turbo) will get it to run low 14's or high 13's.

the older falcons and commodores were down as low as about 1300kg, which is about the same weight as a skyline

well before i bought my R33 i had a 96 EF falcon with all the bolt-ons, mild cam and manual, and rolling start it was line ball to my stock R33 turbo. It had the power to do a mid 14, so without turbo no chance.

Yeah but this is bone stock (with downgrade of hot air intake). problems seem to only persist when cold, it used to be when warm as well. Keeps stuttering and power is on and off throughout the rev range. Idle keeps dropping up and down when cold.

Other than that crap, car is feeling pretty good for now. Still just a bit weak. Does anybody know if the part numbers of the fuel pump are different for the R32 GTS-T and R33 GTS25 S2? Thanks.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
