A big thank you to Powertune Australia. On my second pass @ WSID this morning i've broken into the 9's. There's still room for improvement with the 60ft.

Video of the run and updates to come later this week on PowertuneR34Gtr Facebook page

Hi Guys,

I had the pleasure of going for quite a few laps in this weapon at Powercruise 2102 :-)

A few more minor points to mention -

- on the day the track was wet, and Anthony had absolutely no fear of ripping it up as you can see on the video.

- the car is without question ... fkn mental .... it is a violent experience to sit in the passanger seat when he smashes it through the gears

- the driver is also a little mental, as you need to be to drive this car. The confidence Anthony has in his car is amazing

- he also has a constant smile on his face :-)

- I've been in a lot of high end $$$$ worked V8 cars, both road and race. This cars is seriously fast ... and scary to be in too !!!

- the Powertune guys deserve massive credit for their work on this car. I've seen Chea and his crew in action. Nothing but perfection is acceptable to them.

I love that Anthony drives the car everywhere, I have never seen it on a trailer, ever !!

For those that have seen it in person, you all understand it is truely a work of art.

For those that haven't, make the effort if you get a chance, it is unique.

And well done on hosing off absolutely everthing they threw at you in the 2013 off street drags

I'm still pissed I missed out on going for a fang this year :-)

Ken

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
