Thanks man.

Mechanical sympathy plays a big part I think. And if the motor goes, then that's that. Ill just get another motor down the line. But that will be a whole new debacle haha.

I am glad you are going with -9's. They are great. :P

I was very lucky with the headlights. One of those once in a lifetime opportunities. Bought them brand new off a guy who works for import monster for half the price.

I also see that I dont have my 1/4 mile PB up on here 11.2 @ 127mph.

And there will be more videos of hopefully a still running gtr next week :)

So the shine gets a tick of approval on this aswell.

Soooooo, filled up today. With normal driving (I mean squirt here, squirt there) on E85 I have reached a pretty low 14.6l/100. My lowest was all freeway on 11l/100. And I thought I'd crack it the S

Nice video man - I'll have to put down a decent time myself!

You wouldn't happen to be on that GTR Owners Club page?

-9's for the win btw! I just finished building a motor for my set - they really are an awesome turbo!

Do you mean that facebook page? I do believe I'm on there haha. Why's that?

Built motor would be the goods. I'd probably try and see where they run out of puff. I reckon you could get maybe 23/24 psi out of them. That would be some nice power.

Will push mine next year after the engine refresh and new e85 setup ;)

-9s ftw hahaha

Will have to come track with us next year man ;)

Hahaha you will see them I may even start a build thread if I can be bothered

Will be over 360kw I'm sure by how much who knows more looking for more mid range punch for track

Screw it will instruct tuner to max them hahaha just for the efames lol

Yeh that would be the page ;)

And yes, as for power levels everything under 500hp is safe for street use...so I've been told, but I personally will be capping mine at 450hp or so which seems to be the max for these -9 turbos anway. And that's also keeping track work in mind which I dare say you're pretty keen on? We've all probably heard of those who get away with 600hp on the stock motor...but I wouldn't push a 20 year old uncracked motor that far! You will be bragging for a couple days and then BOOM you will be nicely embarrassed haha

The first thing that goes under higher power are the rod end bolts. (so I was sure to throw a set of those in as well)

Nick is a track fiend. When his car wants to play the game.

Besides, I don't run high boost on the track, low boost is much better for it. And I run a slightly richer tune.

I remember this one guy coming around saying he had 360 or was it 380kw on 9's. Hard to believe If you can't back it up.

I reckon 360 is definitely possible with nines. Couple extra psi and the midrange would be intense. It's all about the power under the curve

Tom my engine is built so I thrash it hahaha run 20-22psi on 98 with my -9s with 350kw

Mainly used on the track these days

Engine coming out for a refresh after a random lean out I'm trying to figure out plus some extra little bits and pieces which will make it even faster on track ;)

All about that response

Yeh I've just finished building mine...I'm aiming for the 330kw mark with my -9's. As soon as she's tuned up I want to be out on those tracks as often as I can hehe and yes, response is everything! 1500kg car, 2.6L engine...you need that thing to come on properly and soon! ;)

Loving the -9s banter! I also have a set and best thing I ever did was go them over the -5's.

I get 20psi by a little over 4K and makes 470hp. Thats with cams swung hard for response, reckon could easy get 500hp from them on same boost if top end was the goal (e85).

Im in the same boat as you man, good healthy stock internals and pulled sump for RIPS extension and billet gears to try make the stock bottom last.

Like you said its a bit of a lottery, but a good tune and ecu along with mechanical sympathy you should be good.

Another plus on -9s is can set limiter lower, 7500 is high as mine goes as turbos run out of breath above it.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By weikleenget · Posted

      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.
