Also looking at getting a PAR dog engagement gearset, 1st-4th, pretty cheap. Any reccomendations?

All I'll say is - do your research. Enough info just on this forum alone to make a decision about that type of thing...

PPG Dogboxes seems to be the strongest on the market at the moment, I have great results with mine. Just remember to upgrade the stock sandwich plate with a billet item cause if that fails then everything will as well. Have done over 50+ runs, all over 800-1000awhp going through it, you wear clutches out before the gearbox I highly recommend them.

there goes that idea then! must remember, you get what you pay for -.-

man up and get an OS88 sequential! :P

but def keep us posted as to what you do because ill be heading down the same path shortly so will be interested to see which way you go

Hi everyone,

About time we posted this up - here are the specs on our "NITTO" R34 GT-R:

STANDARD RB26DETT bottom end

ARP headstuds

Nitto Headgasket

Standard oil pump

Custom head by Mercury Motorsport

6Boost mani

Precision 7675BB turbo

Twin Precision wastegates

4" exhaust custom made

Haltech Platinum Pro ECU etc.

Upgraded fuel system

Splitfire coils

100mm thick FMIC

Custom i/c piping

OS Giken sequential gearbox

Power: 622awkw/845awhp @ 43psi (ran in 5th gear, to keep the 1:1 ratio due to gear changes, 6 straps holding it down)

Nicely done. It's no easy feat to make 850hp but glad to see you finally decided to run it and put the shit talkers to rest.

I can gladly agree that you indeed make over 800hp and am very interested to see you push that stocker as far as it will let you. At this point, even if it broke, you're currently making more hp than any other stock RB26 that I know of. Well done

Not sure if you are talking about Oz, or in the world... but Manny Cruz in the States claimed ~950whp for the stock bottom end RB26 he had in his Sentra drag car back in 2005, lots of people called BS - though the car ran mid 7s at >170mph and there is no reason for him to have lied about the internals - DSport in the US also had an R33 GTR they were claiming ~800whp for a few years ago with twin RX6s on the stock motor IIRC.

Not when it weighs 1700kg

It would either need that power with 1400kg to run 150 or it would need to make 1000hp at the weight it is.

Cheers Dan...

The Powertune GTR weighs 1800kgs including driver (we thought 1700kgs too, but speaking with Chea, it was 1800). Anthony & Trent are about the same weight & both cars are in full street trim with big brakes. We'll weigh NITTO in due course! :)

Mates vl calais 1400kg plus driver, with 385rwkw ran 139mph.

Same guy now has aprox 550rwkw vl running 9.0@155 mph.

I'd be more inclined to question those figures than Powertune's - but you can't compare them straight up anyway, unless the VL also bogged, and was running 20" rims wearing low profile basic street tyres. 142mph in a full weight honest street spec GTR with a 2.6litre engine (with stock internals so probably not big rpm) is insane, anyone knocking the time or power figures really outta take stock for moment.

I just copied this from another post......

I just ran our NITTO R34 GTR at the drags on saturday at Willowbank.

Ran a 10.39@142mph on Hero 255/30R20 tyres, Tein Monoflex coilovers, OS88 gearbox, standard 05U rb26 with precision 7675 turbo making 845hp @ all four wheels.

1.77 60ft

4.69 330ft

6.9 1/8mile (107mph)

8.799 1000ft

10.39 1/4mile (142mph)

Mates vl calais 1400kg plus driver, with 385rwkw ran 139mph.

Same guy now has aprox 550rwkw vl running 9.0@155 mph.

Slicks and auto vs Street tyres and manual... Thus why you can't compare times and mph

    • The interesting part of tests like IM240 is they measure the exhaust output. But they never measure the gases going into the engine... Imagine doing the test in a densely populated city with higher CO2 levels around... Instant disadvantage...
    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
