Sorry Domino, been a bit caught up with Targa Adelaide and all the associated work :)

This one is on the front-burner from here on in until completion. One of the 'tricks' we worked out is that to install the Greddy turbo kit you must have a Greddy top pipe kit as well! Thats done now.....

SD tuning only in something of this 'size'

This package has probably the best flywheel setup their is....we totally re-engineered the whole thing so that never, ever in its life can this GTR ever make another flywheel rattle noise. From that point of view it behaves like a normal car.

The noise you hear is the engine/turbos as it doesnt have an exhaust on in the video, its straight out the dump pipes :)

Just wouldn't be a GT-R without the rattles :P

this is interesting - how does the flywheel become 'loose' & why?

assuming the flywheel bolts run straight into the rear of the crank like a conventional engine - are the actual bolts under engineered or not correctly torqued from factory?

i'd stop at full bolts on and mod'd stock turbos, and spend the rest on a set of A005's for the stock 20's for such events

pretty sure Martin and Seb have run A005s iirc - Martin could you get away with A005s on rear wheels only and stock bridgestones up front?

Arent they slicks? If they are they are not allowed. There must be a perfect combination of power vs traction for this type of event. Road surface will obviously be a variable factor. It would seem that Martins WR600 was better suited than Seb's setup.

Temora was all about traction over time.

Sebs Alpha 12 was easily faster than the WR600 through the acceleration increments once it had achieved full traction, however finding that traction balance was difficult on the day. It didnt help that Sebs car was running Dunlop road tyres where the WR600 was using the SportMaxx version (as a test, which worked well)

Towards the end of the day when Seb really got into the car it was indeed faster in elapsed time than the WR600 head to head however the track had gone off to the point where no more fast times were run. On a dragstrip it would have been a very different story - as you might expect.

Temora is no real test of car performance rather the ability to adapt to the surface.

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
