Hey guys...

LoLz...one of my m8s has decided to (and actually purchased) a GTR from japan. It looks clean from the outside......but its seats look like the R32 Four Doors! Pretty ugly! He sent me these pics.

I'm guessing something went wrong and the owner fitted in GTST seats, OR it was some sort of whacked factory option????

WTH????

definetly a gtr, probably had aftermarket seats and the owner has kept them, rather than buying gtr seats to put back in he has gone for the cheaper option.

There is no way you would go to the trouble of changing a gts4, guards, spoilers, motor etc then be a tight arse and not change the seats

Yeah i think its a seat downgrade if anything.

I mean the dash looks the same as well! It's even got the 3 battery voltage, oil temp and boost tachos in the middle!!

Probably sold the car with cheaper seats. By the way those aren't normal GTST seats, those are the 4 door seats (normal GTST seats are a sorty of browny colour, but the seat material isn't the similar to the 180/Silvia as is the case here)........i think they're EVEN cheaper than standard GTST seats. So unless the car was initially a four door, then transformed into a coupe, its a GTR.......i think?

the rear guards seem to jut out a lil just like a real GTR. I can see some shiny metal which resembles an intercooler. Also there's R34 pedals on the car if no one noticed :D Also the door trim is velour, wheras the seats are poverty model. The back seat has the contour in the middle of a GTR seat (and no headrests like in a regular GTS/GTSt/GTS4/GTE/GXi).

My conclusion... the previous owner had bucket seats in the car, didn't wanna part with em, so he took em out and put the cheapest seats he could find that bolted directly in. Some guys get their bucket seats custom made to the contour of their backs, so they don't like getting rid of em that easily.

      Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo.

      Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.

      Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.

      Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
