In-car video showing the 34 boosting hard on full boost or its not true? Nah man but Im sure we would all love to see

When I get the boost controller sorted and I can

Find an appropriate "private road" or track :yes:

At the moment I haven't kept the throttle down long enough to enjoy, once it starts getting loose in 3rd I back off... Need better rubber for sure

ku36 tyres arent that bad, what width are they on the rear?

265.... Either KU36, RS-Rs or Achillies 123s.... Just cheapies as they won't last long anyway :D

don't waste your $$$ on KU36

they are pretty decent for what they are but kuhmo have increased their price in the last 12 months and you can get Nittio NT05's or Federal RSR for less.

imho for a street car go with the Nitto's or if you can stretch the wallet grab some advan AD08's

I usually run the NT05's all round and with my suspension setup they give me effortless traction in 2nd right up to about 310rwkw (e85 on 16psi) - beyond that i need to think about what i'm doing

+1 for AD08's, great tyre. Once they get the heat into them they are awesome

I'm using 265/35R18 RS-R's on the back and they only just manage to grip 2nd with 280rwkw and a toight like a toiga diff (shimmed).

Have you tried them out at Barbs dude? I found my KU36's are ok on the street, but they really come alive when you get some heat into them on the track.

Thanks mate... Will hopefully get it sorted before Texi...

360kw was the highest run... It was run @ 357kw on the final tune for safety... The reason for the different power figures is the 3 boost levels and also the % of ethanol.... My power ranges from 311kw to 357kw depending in boost and E content :)

Hope that makes sense?

Do you have a dyno sheet, or did I miss it ?

Don't KU36s last longer than RSR though? I know RSR is a more grippy tyre but they really don't last.

The KU36's have a treadwear of 180, the RSR's are 140. So not a huge difference. I know my KU36's lasted about 1 track day and maybe 8000km's, so they don't last either.

What type of driving would that be, around a track ?

would they last longer with normal street driving and occasional short blasts?

I drove it hard at the track and spun out on a couple of occasions, so I have no doubt that took off a fair chunk of life. But I only got in 10, maybe 12 laps. On the street I drive pretty sedately with the odd 1st, 2nd, 3rd bursts. So they don't last very long, but no doubt without the track abuse they would last longer.

I think you'll find that if you don't destroy the compound on the tyres by tracking them hard, doing skids, etc. etc. then they would last a fair bit longer. But I'd be surprised if you got more than 15-20k km's out of them.

I have KU 36 on the front, but they sat for 2 years so maybe hard now? They gripped real well compared to other tyres.... Was happy with them. I have some shit sumitomo or something on the rear hence why I have no grip....

Rolls - sorry mate, I have 4 dyno sheets, just haven't had time to scan them.... I have 98 sheet, gate pressure E85 vs 98, low boost E85 vs 98 and then just high boost on E85.... Will get them

In here and in the RB 25 thread soon.... Sorry over been slack :)

Oh dont be soft mate thats when it just starts getting fun when ya doing 130km/h in 3rd and the rears start breaking loose :nyaanyaa: (even though they are only nankangs) lol Looking forward to checking your setup out at texi next weekend dude sounds like a sweet setup :banana: Hoping my big brakes are gunna be on my car by then too and possibly some semis lol

Haha come say g'day and have a look :) plumb back and low boost will be like light beer through a straw.... But, what can you do :(

For sure dude I might have to wind down the boost too im a track/witches hat amatuer so see how i go lol :whistling:

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?
