After reading this thread I had to ask my misses if she could get me a towel!!!!!!!

Now that is GTR porn

:rofl:

How does the car stop compared to the factory brakes?

its like comparing day and night, theres so much difference. it feels like it can stop on a dime. i didnt realise how shit the standard ones were until now.

:yes:

Nice...are these ford territory turbo calipers ?

As you said you cruised it, and it's a turbo car, you really should be able to get better then standard fuel economy. While cruising it, you're making the motor make the same power as a stocker cruised... This should use the same fuel as a stocker. I'd be having serious talks with the tuner. If you cruise it too much I see washed bores occurring...

Mate your never going to get 500 or so kms out of a tuned GTR i dont care how you drive it. My old car would be lucky to get 300 odd kms around town.

btw nice car mate sounds tuff!

I don't see why not, at cruise load you would be lucky to be making 100hp, probably closer to 80 or 90hp. Shouldn't be using a lot of fuel unless you put your boot into it.

But I digress, Anthony did say his definition of cruising involved boosting it hard, which is what this car does best :D As if anyone could just putt around in a 950hp 2.8L GTR :P

Who cares what mileage you get.. If you can afford to produce a car like that and exclusively run it on E85 then I am pretty sure you wouldn't care how bad the fuel economy is.

You can't expect to maintain a very healthy fuel consumption rate if you drastically increase your performance levels thats pretty much a given.

Shift light in the cluster looks mint, very nicely integrated

Does on the highway count?

Yeah highway counts. I was making 310rwkw out of my R33 and dont think I ever saw 500km to a tank. I used to think they were good when kept off boost and just cruised around but this was short lived when the car came from the workshop. You might say I had a bad tune, but Ill tell you that 3 different, well respected tuners have tuned the car on different occasions.

p.s i think we are getting a little off topic, Loving this build up, keep the pics/vids coming!

was there a reason why u didnt just replace your standard dash with the haltech unit?

cant imagine it would be easy to look at when this beast gets going (veiw for the passenger will be good tho)

very very neat job anyway

keep the updates coming

the reason it isn't mounted where the original cluster is because i wouldnt have turn indicator lights, fuel guage and a few other things. plus it would stand out too much to the police at night. the main reason i'm using the unit is to view the ethanol content in the fuel and monitor a few other things while the car is staitionary. but it does give the passenger something to look at while we are on the move.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
