Yesterday i had some nothing to do on customercars,so i dicided to do something on my GTR,time for some extra power
I had a complete build engine with fine Tomei parts and GT 2860-5�s sitting for nearly half a year on my enginestand,it was time to put it in now
Enginespec is as followed:
-R34 RB26 Block
-R34 RB26 Crank (fully lightened and balanced)
-Tomei Pistons
-Tomei Conrods (original,not ebay tomei�s)
-Tomei Gaskets
-Tomei Valvesprings
-Tomei Poncams
-Tomei Camshaft pulleys
-Head Inlet&Outlet flow-optimised
-ACL Bearings
-ARP Studs
-N1 Waterpump
-Trust Oilpump
-Nismo Oilpanbaffle
-Garrett GT2860-5 Turbos
-Tomei Turbine outlets
-RC 750cc Injectors
-Nismo Airflowsensors
-Greddy Alloy Inletsystem with open filters
-Greddy Oilcooler with relocationkit for nice oiltemps
-uprated Fuelpump is on the way..
Thats most of the parts of the engine,power will be sent to the gearbox with a new Twinplate ATS/Carbonetics carbonclutch,that i use in all my cars,best clutch ever build . Ecu is still the Apexi PowerFC that i use since having the car,so this needs just a remap
should be good for around 600hp,and that was the goal.
Have taken a lot of pics,will upload them soon,as i dont have the camera here at home.
best regards
Alex
If i would have not done it now,i would have not done it anytime
After i cleaned the enginebay with some special cleaner to remove all (and i mean all) dirt from the years
The car was never really dirty,but over the years the engineroom begins to get some dark shadows in the corners,here and there some dark lines in the sealings etc.... Now its has "like new" condition again!
In a short period of time, Alex decided to let go of this beautiful machine.
Looks like my V-spec II is sold next week,will miss it for sure,as its a beautiful car,powerful handles very good and sounds awesome,but it will go in good,careful hands
Will be replaced very soon with something japanese,color will be white(as usual),6 speed and AWD........we will see..
Hmm, I wonder...
Andres came all the way from Switzerland to take a couple of shots before she is in the hands of her new owner.
But then, something happened....
...today is a bad day for my Skyline....
I told him 20 times when i gave him the car + half an hour befor the crash not to go fast with the car,as it will end in a crash 100%.
Youll need practise in that sort of car + driving a RHD for the first time "fast" is not that easy as most people think. Im pretty sure it was a problem don�t knowing how the car reacts,i dont know any exact details of the crash,but what he told me it was on a road where the accident happend there is a "silent-tarmac"(dont know if thats the right name for it) and where its a bit slipery when its wet. He knows that from his evo,so why in the world doesnt he slow down a bit,i mean i drove the Z06 yesterday evening in very heavy rain over 150km and didn�t crash it,as i was not going fast(80km/h on the Autobahn). Can�t understand it,as the GTR handled so perfect,i would say 300% better then the Z06(which is a useless car in rainy conditions)......
The sad thing is that i took care of it so much just to see it in pieces 3 hours after it was sold......it did get 5-10 stonechips from me,which you could not see............but crashing a car after 3 hours is hard,especially as i told the new owner to go slow (around 25min befor the crash) or he will end up crashing in the next 30minutes......
Hope this makes people think if they need to go fast in a car they just bought and dont know how it handles.......
I had a great time with it,was an awesome car in perfect condition,no rust,no bad points....nearly like new
basicly thats what happend,he wanted my GTR and had a 08 Z06,so i bought his Z06 and part exchanged my GTR + a little money on top...he came to me and collected the GTR friday morning around 8 o�clock,we the did money thing and checked all the papers of both cars,then i showed him the GTR and explained everything as good as possible....befor he left i told him to go slow and safe as he never drove RHD befor........at around 11.30 o�clock he left with the GTR and drove home to Luxembourg..at around 14 o�clock he called me from Trier(around 300km) and said the car is very quick,nearly drove over an GT3 as he pushed the pedal down on the autobahn............I told him to go slow or the car will be damaged in the next 30 minutes and that he cant have controll over the car after such a short time...
24minutes after that,he called me and told me he had a crash...
OUCH!
Fortunately, it was already sold when it happened. Alex has since then gotten something else to cure his GT-R itch. Till then... (^_^)\/
