hodge Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I had the pleasure of going out in this last weekend, AYYYYYYYE, it's canny fast. Infact, for 480hp it actually shocked me how quick it was. It felt like a comfortable family car just driving around town, but when you nail it, holy spunktastic. It felt like the car let the torque/power in progressively. My supra has more of a kick, odviously because of the single, but once this is in full song, it felt almost as fast if not just as fast as my supra which has WAY more power. Extremely impressed with it and its performance. No breaking thread from me though, I still love my supra, well until next winter anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone does comment on how well the GTR uses the power it has and puts it down, especially considering how heavy she is! Would be interested to see your opinion once the car is stage 4 The extra 100-120bhp makes quite a difference and the added noise makes the whole thing so much more enjoyable.

johnny g Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well today at SRD was a LONG day, but very, VERY fruitful. I popped down on Monday night, so I'd be there early on the day to allow Lee plenty of time on the car. Brisk progress was made taking off the horrible rear cat section - a lovely Miltek resonated Y piece was put in it's place. Part one done. Then it was onto the injectors. Taking the tiny stock injectors out and shoving some ID1000's in. Part two done. The final mechanical part was the Forge Motorsport intakes. Awesome pieces of kit, far nicer than the GTC ones. Superb finish, well made and comes as a very complete kit. They increase the suction size to 80mm for more air. Part three done. (I also had a Forge Header tank done to remove the ugly stock bottle). Then we made our way to SRR, with Lee ably following in the SRD van. Jamie was there showing us the videos he made with Ryan - the noise was great. Anyways, 2012 gearbox software, Launch Control 4 uploaded and mapping time. 600/600 as expected. The atmospheric pressure was low today, according to Ryan, otherwise we'd have made more power at boost - but 600/600 on the road feels incredible. Couldn't be happier - and anything this side of £150,000 supercars best beware!! Thanks to Lee @ SRD and Ryan @ 2BarTuning - epic work again. Pics to follow tomorrow when I've got them off my phone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some videos of the car on the dyno, and some photos too of the products/work being done. As soon as we get some dry time I'll get it launched. It's demonic, it really is.

Jamesy Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Great work mate so is tha fully stage 4 now? Seeks so easy and cheap compared to a Supra!! Are you going for an S6 as well then or is launch good enough on the stock ecu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going for an S6 as well then or is launch good enough on the stock ecu It's fully Stage 4 yea. If I had the downpipes, I'd be able to get 620, but realistically 600bhp with the ability to pass an MOT is pretty appealing - and not something I want to change. As for the Syvecs - you can't run the GT-R with all the failsafes on the S6, it's got to be the S8. It's a big investment, but at some point down the line, I'll probably go for it - when I'm tweaking whatever I've got now. Next for me is probably a Milltek catback and a Whifbitz FMIC. After that, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like its a very easy, cost effective path to get these to proper performance numbers without sacrificing any comfort or oem features.

Kirk Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Thought you were leaning more towards the Motec because it retains the cruise control or are we over that now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
