GTRKat Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 330kw my standard box died and 450kw killed the second (did a fair few hard launches though I'll give it that!) although it's now been rebuilt with the OS Giken gearset and that held up ok at 450 and has copped a fairly hard time so far. And you're right, more power = more issues! But if you want to dabble in that world that's what you get!

Tyranus Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) hahaha MOAR POWAH=Future issues... Wait for it all to start... How much you aiming for? Im expecting mine to be close to 300KW and that's ill i really want in a road car haha. Well over 500kw at the wheels.. 300kw is to slow. I had 350awkw and it was not fast enough Doubt i will have many problems as everything is being modified (running gear, gear box etc etc) Edited November 15, 2012 by Tyranus Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/413360-who-has-the-worst-luck-on-sau/page/3/#findComment-6625975 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinista32 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 yes or no to LAG. 300+ on the streets with minimal lag is sufficient. The acceleration is linear. and yes can get boring the longer the streets you travel are. 450+ add lag but receive kick in the pants acceleration. Track - depending which one? - Drag - Yes around the windy hills 300+ is fine IMHO as said before add more Powah can be costly my GTR has 330awkws but I may go from -7's to -5's. Haven't decided and Im happy for now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/413360-who-has-the-worst-luck-on-sau/page/3/#findComment-6626025 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't decided and Im happy for now Richard your gt-r will transform into a completely diff monster once you go up from -7's to -5's. Huge difference in "pulling power" esp up top.

Just need to take that step. Might take drive in a mates to make my mind up for certain. I'm fairly sure it's not far away and the -7's will be on my shelf if I ever decide to go back.

Im good mate and how about your self ? I will not be making it to SAU NATS as my GT-R is currently undergoing a rebuild. And do not have enough time and money to purchase an R34 GT-R to make it to the NATS Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/413360-who-has-the-worst-luck-on-sau/page/3/#findComment-6627253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBarnstar Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Had an R32 GTR about 8 - 9 Yrs ago. Spent 20K after purchase on pretty nice upgrades and general awesomness.. Problems with slack workshops promising the world and only delivering 6 - 12 months off the road.. and still not right (Was told it was a cracked head.... probably just the aftermarket metal head gasket now that I know more about these cars). Got offered 13K which I took under pressure from a 'workshop' that had it sitting there for months with no work done to get rid of the headache. So much anger right now. Very happy with an RB25 that I can work on now and get it professionally tuned. Ahhh all better.
