If we are talking about useable power for the street then no one should go over 300kw like anfanee said.

And let's be honest pete, your original setup was a donk from the dinosaur ages and you will forever be scorned with "ultimate lag".

ibomu hits full boost at 7,000rpm... Is it ideal for the street?

He drives it on the street?

And it's one of the most powerfulest gtr in the country.

Each to there own how they want there car setup.

I have said that a 100 times, it is your car, mod it and drive it the way it makes you happy, the end!

I have copped a lot of crap because I wanted response, I never put shit on blokes that want what they want. But for me getting full boost at 7000rpm for a street car, is nuts , it is a waste of power. If I could have gotten what I wanted at 300kw, that would have been enough. As a new bloke to all of this, I am sure I did it the wrong way, but ?

My built 26 would rev 10,000rpm +, you could not rev to 7500rpm in 2nd without speeding on the freeway, that was only 1000rpm after the boost kicked in, oh and that is after struggling up to 5500rpm to get it to start to move unless you drop it at 7000rpm +, then your head would fall off, so, was this a street car, not for me and I am the only one that counts. My Tiida would blow the bloody thing off the road from an idle start and a lot easier to drive

I can have fun throughout the rev range and unless I am playing I do not usually go over 4000rpm, the acceleration is linear and no surprises, comes on smooth and as hard as your right foot dictates .

I reiterate my previous statement.

That car is not good to drive on the street, at all, he is making power "Just because"

Before you even know it you are doing well over double the speed limit. It's completely useless.

300-350kw is the sweet spot of power you can actually use. anything else is really overkill for a dedicated street car.

If the power is usable , 300kw is more than enough

My original setup was 338kw and shit for a DD, my mistake :( so I changed it, here is the 26 Dyno with the different turbo and cams , it was OK but for me still a crappy street car. But more than enough power for the street, probably different turbo and cams would have fixed it for what I wanted, but ?

Now I have some torque to get it rolling and the power can be used much better than something that kicks in at 7000rpm, I have changed gear before then and have fun on the speed limit, advisory speed signs are good for direction :yes:

I get that, AND wheel spin from 3500 rpm in a GTR. I'm with you Pete, lag is for those that watch too many internet videos and don't actually drive their car in the real world all that much.

I recall driving my old near stock R33 GTR. From the lights a few years back, and shifting below 3500 rpm I was dragged off by a bloody prius taxi! That same car made 270kw on stock turbo's with all the bolt-ons, and was by all accounts what many of you call "responsive".

I agree, 300 kw atw is nice, but at 4000 RPM thanks.

Now your talking, 4000rpm for 300KW rules for the road. :yes: I think I will try for 400KW @ 4000rpm as it is an easier number to remember, response, response , response :wub:

Guess we should all bolt -10's on, no need to be fast in city traffic so we can go for full track setup then

Depends if you want to be a hero at every set of lights, fark you better beat those corollas.

As I said, I have never had problem keeping up with traffic with 0 manifold pressure, and at atm I am running mine in with a weak tune and 5k limited, again with no issues. But then again I don't like being a street hero when I am taking the kids to school or going to work.

Yeah go get them Pete. Give those Prius's and Tiida's heaps..

Last time I checked in peak hour maximum speed is 60 km/hr if your lucky. Must be so good to be on boost.

haha, I do not live in the City, 2 minutes down the road it is 80 another 2 minutes it is 100 and 50 klm of country road that has all of the features that make driving fun and I do it up to 7 days a week :yes:

I leave the City driving to you poor bastards :angry:

Oh and at the end of my road there is one of the best hill climb roads in NSW , Wooton Way. Mmmmm it is like driving heaven :wub:

Imagine how good the r35 could have been if nissan stuc with little engines!

I could race it with my Tiida, since my build the poor old thing cannot get a win :no:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
