Here is my 2001 R34 GTR V-spec 2.

I've owned it for about a year and a half now. Its come a long way from since i bought it back in 09. The car use to have 350kw@wheels on the standard engine with tomei turbo's, v-cam, e85 etc. As usual, the power bug bites so i decided to have a big motor built. I chose Powertune Australia to build it because of the knowlegde and tech support they give when questioned. I've been to other workshops before but they didnt provide the extra edge/support i looked for in a workshop.

The car got a run-in tune on 28/2/11. Drove it around town for 1000kms which wasnt too fun being restricted to 6000rpm.

Finally got it run in and lightly tuned on 1/3/11. we had trouble keeping it strapped to the dyno under boost. but here it is for now. will be upping it again soon. currently on 35psi. we needed 3ppl sitting in the boot and 2 ppl in the the car to keep the car partially down

I drove the car to WSID on 2/3/11 the day after the 602kw tune. At the top of the track the car felt unstable at 230kph. So this morning i went to Heasman steering to get it checked out and this is how far off my wheel alignment settings were when i raced last night. Still running all the stock arms so camber still couldnt be taken out of the front or rear. but it goes straight now atleast. =)

Powercruise 2011! 4/3/11 I drove it to the event on friday, saturday and sunday and ran around the track racing anything and everything that wanted to line up. The car has proven its reliable and able to crush v8's / tubbed / supercharged cars. Nothing broke down, nothing overheated. I was out there on nearly every chance i had. was a blast and very fun event. Not bad for a car thats just been completed. =)

awsome....any video of your beast at power cruz

What do you think those last videos were??? lol

A credit to all involved with this build, top shelf stuff!

Performed flawless all weekend, was great to watch.

Please tell me you let the capri win in the final? There was no doubt that the gtr had it the whole race, except that very slow change into third :)

That is one damm impressive beast you have there Anthony. Please please get some better photos up of the engine bay. It looks killer

lol, will do.

thank u! lol.

yea from 2nd gear i smashed it into 5th missing 3rd. then i pulled it out of 5th and smashed it into 3rd. i had alot of airspace on him just before that happened. its all on the incar camera. hahahaha all good. was a fun event that i'd love to do again.

=)

WOW

big dollar spend GTR, that actually geting USED.... now this is rare and nothing is blowing up either :)

i looked at the videos, "you photos needs a bit of work mate"

and thought to my self god he must be running a Dog box or something and read

Transmission :

Standard Getrag 6 Speed

Ogura Quad plate clutch

how on earth does the standard Getrag keep up with this much POWER , "i must abuse mine a bit more now"

if you can build this car then you can get a guy to take some nice photos of that engine bay

lol, car isnt done yet so no use in taking high res pics.

Awesome work!! Must be a great feeling to have so much kw's rushing through the blood :) any plans for the box? Is it 3rd gear that u start to annihilate everyone or u actually get into fourth?? Lol

yea, its about 3rd gear that i start passing. nah no plans for the box just yet. i think i gotta learn how to shift into 3rd a little slower and itll be ok,

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
