Well, as you'd be aware 09GTR was destroyed a couple of months ago, just as it was going through its latest Greddy upgrade for Bathurst. Thanks to the good work of the lads at Col Crawford and my insurer I was able to take delivery of a new 2010 Grey GTR the Saturday before Bathurst. I had to drive a couple of thousand clicks to run her in, and then some very mild fettling from CRD (a mid-pipe, dump pipes, and Cobb tune, plus brake upgrade) saw a solid 360 atw, and ready for Mount Panorama.

These pictures are taken six days after I picked the car up and just a few hours before cracking a 2:26 at the Mountain. The plan from here is to get the maximum from the stock turbos (say 400 - 420 atw) on 98, then get a few kms on the car, and then get those big Greddys doing their thing.

I'll update things as we go.

I owe a big thank you to CRD for prepping the car in time, and for the great work they did at the track over the course of the event. White 35 (pictured above) was able to smash a 2:21 which pretty much meant he was the fastest road registered car on the day.

btw - the 2010 seems much improved over the 09, the sat nav is a revelation, as is the suspension. Takes to fettling very well also!!!

Have now upgraded the Cobb Software, added tranny cooler, HKS intercooler and BOVs, custom 4 inch exhaust (looks stock from outside) sounds awesome, brake system upgrade including pads, discs, braided lines, fuel pump. Car makes around 390 atw on pump gas stock injectors and turbos.

I have decided to sell my Greddy turbo kit and am going to opt for the Willall upgrade instead. Reason being I want low and mid range. The Greddy system is brand new so pm me an offer.

Latest shots of the car...

sorry to stray off topic but to answer Martin's question, the brake and tranny cooling is definitely noticeable performance-wise. I have my water cooling for the brakes and pump for the tranny hooked up to 2 switches. I certainly notice it by mid to late sprint session when I haven't turned them on. Will collect some data next season.

Hey mate,

Your Old gtr i spotted the other day out the front of queen street smash repairs!

looks like its going to be getting a coat of pink!

Why but why. Is there any car out there that they wont wreck. Plus it will probably end up with 28inch chromies

Awesome. Straight from the showroom, to the workshop, then the track within a week!

Rockin. What great cars they are & LOVE the Gun metal. Definately my favourite colour

(until the blue one comes out that is!)

    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.  
    • Nice, let me know how you find the 98 tune
