Who Has The Worst Luck On Sau?

[GTRKat]

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!

Yep I was pushing a massive 220 when mine went

[Tyranus]

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)

Mate down the road has a 580KW 32... I would never want to own that much power hahaha.

I wish you all the best and hope nothing blows up.

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

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.

Hey Sedat great to hear from you. Take it all is going well with yours...

You doing the SAU NATS mate?

I beleive you. 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.

R33 Natro

-fuel pump 8 days

-3 wheel studs in the space of a month

-seized coil overs

-spun big end

-blew up gear box

-ls1 loom shot

-unusable fly by wire throttle setup

I'm sure there's more...

[Sinista32]

Ouch! pricey....

[Anfanee]

ill consider myself lucky if it comes back with no issues...

[Captain Natro]

Ouch! pricey....

I try and not think of how much it's cost me as it makes me sad lol... Will all be worth it when the bent eight fires into life, smile will be ear to ear

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

[Sinista32]

forever building better

[Tyranus]

Indeed! Cant wait till its finished. I miss driving it so much.

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.
