Adrian@TORQEN Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 Go on then, add a set of the intakes for me.... Black pipes please. Ordered, will PM you soon. so did any one notice the Litchfield badge at the rear?? Has this already been fettled by Litchfield? Pure car porn fair play It was a Stage 2 when I bought it, so yes, mapped by Litchfield. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 It's been a while from the last update. Well, I'm still not modifying this one, clearly! So while I was away on "forced holiday" after speaking with Nissan GB GTR master technician representative, I went to Nissan West London to investigate some little paint defects. They've booked the car in early January for a full corrosion inspection under warranty. Both doors have some tiny spots with bubbling under the paint, very close to the mirror. In the boot, just by the rubber seal, there are some spots of rust as well, very small, but they've said it's paint defect. As we've finished the 370z and was collected by Scott, we had a bit more space in the garage to tinker with the cars, so the GTR went in. Nothing major... you'll see in a minute Then this happened Don't fret, not doing any weight saving, not fitting a roll cage, we just needed access from inside to the shocks, as we were fitting these: Litchfield suspension package Eibach ARBs: And some OEM rear drop links as we had to cut the old ones off, rubbish Nissan drop links! More in the next post... 1 Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 As it was my birthday, I thought I might as well treat myself today, so the new skirt arrived from Zele USA: to replace the one I damaged in the Scotland trip in September. Quick strip of the engine plenum to make space for the new ASNU 14 holes 1050cc injectors and GotBoostPerformance 3" intakes: As these were off, I thought it would be a good time to give them a make over so we went to SPC Automotive, collected some 2K black matt VHT paint to make them look like the new intakes, crinkled black. I've masked them and also degreased them, then give them a few coats of black. After first coat: 3 coats later they came out really good, here they were still wet: Final setup looking like this: New EcuTEK v5.0 loaded, the car is now a Stage 4.25 Need to do some more logging for any further tweaks, but it's running perfectly and the power / torque it's simply INSANE. Left the garage about 10:30pm That's it for now, more Nismo GTR parts on the way from Japan, nothing major, just some interior bits. That should conclude the modding on this car. Until next time 3 Quote
Elliot350 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 very nice adrian some simple changes but very effective! looking good Quote
Tinyflier Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Welcome to the world of Stage 4.25. Thank the stars you aren't modyfing this one Adrian... just as I'm not... David Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 Stage 2.25 to 4.25 upgrade made a HUGE difference, probably because I was getting used to the power... It's simply INSANE now, sooooo much torque! And yes, I'm not modifying this one, it's still standard if you ask me Quote
Darren-B Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Modifying is such an overused lame word anyway Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 True, should only be used for serious stuff only, like changing wipers, changing bulbs etc 2 Quote
coldel Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Looks fantastic mate, the black crinkle paint made a really positive change in the engine bay too good shout Quote
grahamc Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Looks fantastic mate, the black crinkle paint made a really positive change in the engine bay too good shout It looks better with out the engine cover 1 Quote
Darren-B Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Looks fantastic mate, the black crinkle paint made a really positive change in the engine bay too good shout It looks better with out the engine cover True but he bought the NISMO one 2 Quote
HaydnH Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 My cars parked outside in this shitty weather?!? Maybe I should come and collect it so it's in it's usual nice home. Quote

GMballistic Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I just wish I'd bet a load of money on you modifying this car Adrian, ...maybe I could afford one of my own then. Quote
Dashurik Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Adrian what the torque and bhp on you car now? Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Looks great and must absolutely fly !! Should have had all the Ali stuff polished though 1 Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I'll take a guess at 670bhp and 550ftlb ? Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 I'll take a guess at 670bhp and 550ftlb ? About 660-670bhp and closer to 600lb/ft torque. Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 That's got to be on the limit of the gearbox at that ftlb ? Crazy figures though for such light modding ! Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 That's on the Stage 4, without downpipes and on v4 software. EcuTek v5 has better / bigger figures. T 1 Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 Some more info about the v5 software here: http://www.litchfieldmotors.com/Nissan-GTR/nissan_gtr_ecu Quote
nissanman312 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Have they been mapping it still? Quote
Dashurik Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Does gtr has factory LSD or you need to upgrade to put such torque to practice? I know that many c63 have no lsd(even from factory) and that torque is mega useless (but its fun to spin the wheels) if you really want to drive properly.Lots of guys upgrade for Quafie LSD which makes massive difference! is yours same or complete stock?
