How did you get on at 30-130 today?

TX.

 

Didn't attend, car is in the garage

As an aside this looks fun

I didn't go, realised I needed security clearance too late. Will go next year and may be have a bash myself.

That's a shame, loads of gtr's on the saturday ... Sounded like fun!

TX.

 

Spinning all four wheel at 100mph does sound fun

 

Hopefully not much longer now!

I did the same

if I was close I would have liked to have gone to just watch...

oh yes, great fun

Looks good Anders, when's it in for the remap?

 

Thats fookin awesome

 

Are you going to replace the hard pipes as well?

 

Mapping is wednesday, I might be getting my Scoobs overfueling fixed the same day, just waiting for a response from Simon.

 

Litchfield didn't have stock of the hard pipes (only a sample), I think they're still in development. The pipes look good - they run from the throttle body down to the silicon hose from the FMIC, no joins and smoother airflow.

Mapping complete and big thanks to Ryan G for a really smooth graph. Pulls really well on the road and sounds awesome on full chat. Ryan said there was more to come, but happy with a really safe 620bhp (no adjustments were required on the road to timing which was nice to hear).

The torque could have been more, but I requested around 600lbft to help preserve the rods

 

looks great!! noticeable difference on the road??

 

:like:

 

400lb/ft @ 2000rpm...

 

The scenary goes past even quicker, glad I upgraded the brakes.

The car feels smoother than before, pulls hard to the redline.

 

Good to know!!

And any noticeable difference with the Forge header tank? As the standard one is a pet hate of mine...

 

Water temp seems the same, but I think it will only be of benefit on track or a high speed run where loads of heat is generated for long periods of time.

Get it replaced, worth spending to the cash to rid that horrible plastic oem tank

 

That is the only reason I have and its a good one

 

A certain Mr Ryan.G is getting hold of the GTR tomorrow new EcuTek software here we come!!

 

Litchfield upgraded the firmware on my Ecu yesterday, I'll come down tomorrow and see if Ryan can extract any more GG's from it.

 

I went to Litchfields for some more parts yesterday, Dodson gearbox clips and they fitted the Willall diff bracket. Some will say this is overkill at this power level, but with the warranty out the window I wanted some extra gearbox protection. At least the gearbox will be ready for a turbo upgrade sometime in the future

Diff bracket, supposed to help strengthen rear diff casing

Remind us how much a new gearbox would be

TX.

 

No idea, nobody bothers buying whole gear boxes when Litchfield can fix at a much cheaper price

 

Amazing what Litcho can do with these GTR'S!!

 

Lol, fair enough ... I'd heard $20k but might be just an urban legend!

I think the price for a complete box has dropped a bit, the $20K in your link was in 2008 when the car was first released.

 

new gearbox from nissan is £17k, fully built motorsport gearbox from a 3rd party is 13k....go figure....

 

Sweet.
