I was actually the one that asked, i'm very impressed by your car and am thinking about getting a gtr. Very nice and congrats, btw!

 

^^^ Val bud say it ain't so...you're leaving Porsche for Nissan?

 

Does anyone leave Porsche? He might just be adding a Nissan to the stable?

 

^^^ truth be told I was thinking about adding a GTR to my stable as a viable option...they are really fast and techie cars with some pretty cool gadgetry...I would get one that was already tried and trued, modded and built right - fast and relaible.

 

My future plans were to add a gtr.

 

My best run of the day:

 

Audioenvy, are you using the launch control on any of your runs? And your trans is "bone stock"?

 

My car is a 2010. I'm using what's called LC4 which is the transmission software algorithm that shipped with the 2012 model year. For the launch itself, I used EcuTek boost-off-the-line with a low RPM launch (3250 rpm). The transmission itself (clutches, gears, internals, etc) is bone stock, as is the engine. The turbos are "lightly modified" though.

ETA: I'm also using drag radials in the rears which I carried with me in the car on the drive up from Raleigh.

Here is the time slip:

 

Your et's are most impressive. I'm very familiar with Viscosi and didn't realize that everyone is running the lc from the 2012. Great info.

 

There are different tactics used by various GTR owners (and I've tried several of these tactics with varied success). Certainly not everyone uses LC4 but it really depends on the track prep, the size of the turbos, whether or not the transmission has been upgraded, and what tuning platform (Cobb, EcuTek, Syvecs) is being used.

 

Did your motor have to be pulled in order to do the turbo upgrade?

 

Most shops drop the motor to be able to replace the turbos. These "Stage 1" turbos use the same housings/lines as the stock turbos so my local shop was able to lower the subframe a few inches and reach them. But, yes, most shops drop the engine completely from the car.

 

Mind if I ask what local shop? I'm trying to justify snagging a gtr...

 

Haha. If you're serious about it there are some very attractive packages that don't break the bank.

I live in Raleigh, so local to me is far for you. The closest GTR shop I know of near you would be AAM Competition in Annapolis Junction. They are definitely competent but in my experience there are packages available for less money elsewhere (but AAM would likely still do the install for a labor fee).

 

Def very attractive pkg's...I actually had found a very well built gtr w/800whp on ebay that only pulled $72k, basically i'm trying to snag something that has already been built up but the seller knows he will take a hit... (which in turn will save me thousands...).

I can do my own work when it comes to labor.
