Update?

Sorry been slack on the updates unfortunately. Lots of changes since i last posted. Ecu change, tuner change, added a second nitrous kit, a few more sensors and chased converter setups all year. Ran it hard for around 10 roll race meetings at no less than 1000hp and as much as 1400 with all the nitrous. We were using these roll race events to iron out bugs and evaluate changes to transmission and torque converter setup all while having alot of fun doing passenger rides and racing door to door. She still hasn't been down the strip as i felt the converter combination wasn't quite where i wanted it to be.

End of 2018 we removed the M150 as the GPR software was strangling us and we consider going down the custom firmware route but decided a Emtron would do everything we wanted right out of the box so i repined the wiring harness and have absolutely loved the change. The car made 1100 at the hubs on about 35psi on the 7685 Gen 1. With the progressive direct port kit 1340 on the same 35psi. We pulled the engine mid last year to do a bearing check and upgrade the turbo but after much thinking decided the cast block would be on borrowed time where we were headed so we gave it a new set of bearings and sold the complete short to a mate for his project. The money from the sold short engine has funded a new billet 3.2 combination that's going together currently. New turbo is a GTX55 91mm on a 6boost manifold. 

One device we found very handy was the performance meter Dragy, it made tracking changes to suspension, tyre pressure, tune very easy. Even with 4 x 275/60 radial pro's power management is a absolute must on a slippery track. With no nitrous completely untested setup we were doing 100-200kmh mid to high 3's, suspension tweaks and tyre pressure dropped to around 3.30's, 125hp Single nozzle nitrous kit around 3.15's, no passenger just over 3's then with direct port kit and more suspension tweaks just under 2.70. As a example a mates barra VL ran 2.99 on a 8.12 170mph pass so we were pretty happy with our result on a non prep'd surface. 

Fingers crossed ill have a engine to install in the coming month and hopefully keep this thread updated with a few new pics and some info.

It is a bit of a shame Motec left the GPR packages quite basic considering how powerful they are, it sells the platform very short.  You really shouldn't have to change to an Emtron to get what you need from it - though I love how well sorted Emtron are out of the box.   Just for interest if you (not sure if you meant developing a custom package, or getting a pre-existing one) or others didn't know, there is a GT-R package for the Motec M1 which is very very capable: https://powertune.com.au/2019/07/12/m1-nissan-skyline-32-34-gtr-rb26-package/

Car sounds like it is going very very well, and I agree with the Dragy - we have a couple and have used them for similar testing/tuning.  I look forward to seeing how it goes once you hit the strip :)

I made contact with a package developer and after a lot emails and thinking it definitely didnt fit my budget or time frames. Would've hated to be at the track and required tweaking. A right click on a axis sounded way easier to me lol

Engine is close to being finished ill post pictures of that soon. Once i get that back full steam ahead.

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
