after having a talk with my tuner i think i go -5 turbos what cams would suit them? is 280 to big

The ones Nissan put in it when they built it will be fine. Just get some cam gears. There are 4,268 threads on this very subject if you want to look into it further.

:rofl:

Evo was an option but i just don't like them, driven two of my mates mild mod evo 7 and damn are they quick! but i just not a big fan of them.

plus group a gtr look so nice!

Yes i agree they do look nice and are exciting to drive. but if i had an evo i would have alot more races/track days under my belt.

as for the cams i believe i ran some tomei 260 with 9.1mm lift on -5 and they were nice. i'd have to ask my engine builder the exact specs.

Ohh this ia very long and slippery slope my friend, be very careful once you start its hard real hard to stop.

I know this cause i just want a good track car as well............just buy mine lol i have other toys to play with

>_<

i saw your viper build that thing is amazing!

i know its a very slippery slope ahaha! just have to look at my bent :D track gts-t LOL!

On the whole shock topic at your experiane level I rekon I could throw a set of bc coilivers in your car then use the same springs in a set of 18grand penske's and honestly I'd be very suprised if you could determine which shock was which. We've done it with a few guys who have campained state level sedans for a while.

I have a set of Bc's a set of proflex and a set of penske's that will fit a gtr easily if you wanna see what I mean.

Don't waste your money on stupidly expensive shocks just because they are a Jap brand name and expensive.

I'm not recommending you buy bc's either I'm recommending you don't buy something overkill.

I'm sure the serious qld guys would agree if I said have a chat with Murray coote about getting a set of shocks made up to suit your application and budget.

Springs your kidding youself if you rekon 10plus!

Been there Tested that. I'd garantee you'll take a second atleast out of the car with the right springs, even more so if you do get the weight down.

Good to see another gtr being built.

Yeh, speak with Murray. Check bank balance and then be forced to go buy 2nd hand of yahoo auctions :(

Murray's stuff is good value in the grand scheme, and IMO you're better of slashing laptime via great handling versus more horsepower, it just makes more sense.

Having said that, I use a set of Apexi N1 shocks in mine, but one day, oonnnnne day, I'll get some MCA :D

hmm

another question. need to pick my ecu to go with the engine specs (gt-ss aim for 500hp @ engine)

Limited the list down to 2

d-jetro or vipec, i know my tuner loves d-jetro as that is what he sugguest for me to run when i went to saw him yesterday (forgot to ask about vipec)

what are people throughts? cost wise i can get d-jetro for around $1000-$1200 with all the gear, still waiting on price on the vipec

Edited by Kaido_RR

I once read a similar question about ViPec being posted and saw a Vic guys response which wasa picture of the ViPec box being used as a door stop. Harsh, but originally there were some integration problems, I dont think the EBC finction is still working properly. Many have great success, others seem to struggle with needing a few tweaks. But the end result seems great.

Not trying to write off the product, but I think its important to consider as if its not the recommendation of your tuner then it means the time and expense, dyno time etc getting the ECU working is likely to come out of your pocket in tune time. If he tells you to go ViPec then odds are he has his head around the little gremlins and/or wont charge you to flash/fix issues etc

Just pop in to see my tuner to ask about the Vipec, he said he can tune it and has no issue tuning it but for the price he said he rather put an Adaptronic in my car as its alot cheaper and you get similar functions.

However he pretty much sold me on going d-jetro. i have to agree with his reasoning that having the h/c with the knock function allows you to detect problems before they destroy your engine on the track

    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
    • Throws on the FS5R30A in most Nissans of this era are actually quite short and direct compared to any remotely modern BMW with the S6-53 transmission. Those things have throws a mile long with rubbery vague everything. Synchro issues combined with a short shifter is just going to break everything even faster.
    • Only thing I'd add...is on recommendation from a good diff shop, I've used mineral oil in my diff including the race car for years. The synthetics can be too slippery and glaze the gears
