Single turbo 1jz vs. GTR

[GotTurbos?]

White balance on those GTR pics.

Awesome runs, dude! Your car sounds great! Way to rep the MKIII!

We were parked under some hardcore tungsten lights, I already adjusted the white balance to best show the natural color of the car, the asphalt looks kinda vivid but the car is the color it should be.

Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks! I've always been a fan of your car. Those pie cuts used throughout your setup have always amazed me. You wouldn't be interested in making a 4" downpipe would you?

I forgot to mention for fuel I'm running mkiv 550's and a walbro, about to step that up so I can get some more boost out of this setup.

Thanks a lot! Its been a very long road but I'm finally getting to the end. The welding was all done by someone else all I did was cut the pies and tacked it together.

good luck with the car it looks and sounds awesome in those vids.

that first vid is awesome! sounds like my old soarer when it comes on boost!

its funny, you seem to get a bit of traction in second and pull away, then break loose in 3rd again!

if you could put the power to the ground in 3rd there you would have a few lengths on him!

Well what happened was I really slipped the clutch for the launch (way more than I should have), 1st just spun after that, second hooked a little, then third loaded it up a bit more I suppose and then the clutch slipped so I let off. I need to get better at launching!

you and your running 1J..............bastard, how come it sounds so damn loud in the video's? is the gtr really just that damn quiet?


and damn we gotta teach kurt how to take videos

Time for a new clutch if its slipping that easily! Were you bouncing off the rev limiter in each gear? Nice to see it pull so hard compared to such an expensive beast like a GTR.

I can't wait for another month or so when everything gets worked out on my car to join you guys!!

Kurt needs some lessons!!

its actually a pretty much new OSGiken single disk, had almost no use when he got his clip.

it just really doesnt like to be slipped, car had the same issue at 2K9 during the drags

The only clutches that can be slipped and like it are the Carbon ones. I know the OSGikens do not like to be slipped at all.

I got to say I love to sound of this car, it sounds so raspy and bad ass. What exhaust manifold you running?

Nice runs with the gtr. I mess around with some around here in the mountains.

My OS giken twin plate worked flawless when slipped. I know single plate OS giken and exedy don't do so well after 450 ft lbs or torque.

That first video is some serious 1jz inspiration.. So bad ass!! Im just gunna tell myself that you were breaking traction instead of the clutch slippin haha:biglaugh: I just wonder how much better it would of pulled on that GTR if the clutch had grabbed better..

 

[carter]

Nice, I wish my car was that fast lol

 

[Flateric]

You really need to white balance those pics in photoshop, there a little yellow. Other than that though you really got some excellent shots there. Unfortunately I got no sound on this machine. Nice videos though. Wish there were more and longer. I like your 1j.

 

[staticpage]

1jz FTW..... love the 1jz and this vid shows how sweet it is.
make it hook and it will be pure sex.

Well it didn't slip until third if that makes you feel better I'll make some more videos from a first gear rolling start or something so you guys can see how it accelerates when I don't screw up the launch lmao!

The exhaust manifold is the equal length drewgo, exhaust is a genuine apexi N1 so it does have a really nice sound to it. My car is surprisingly quiet especially at idle you can barely hear it, after around 3k it turns into a whole different monster. I plan on ditching it to go with a 4" setup soon and turn up the boost. This was my daily for a short period of time but now I have another car so I can do whatever I want to this one!

 

[Datsrboi]

I will race you tonight in my Vtec......... Too lazy to bring my camcorder hahaha
