GTR's taking over!

[MrAudia]

Yes, this is yet another GTR thread. Now that we have 3 GTR's in this section I feel like we're slowly taking over. We may now have 1/100 of the amount of Mustangs on here so we're getting close.

I bought a white 2014 GTR in 2013, put the 1000 miles on it so I could get the first service from Nissan, then began to mod the car. I can't keep anything stock, it's an addiction. By summer time 2013, after the winter it was a FBO GTR on E85. All fabrication, tuning, and build were done by Buschur Racing. Dave is a good friend and is a master when it comes to making things fast. Highly recommended! We won the Stock Appearing GTR class at the Shootout in Norwalk in 2013 first time to track with the car. Ran a best of 10.2 @ 135. While this was fun, like all gear heads I wanted more. As much as I wanted a 9 sec pass on stock trans/block/turbos full weight, etc... it wasn't enough. Best before the build was 10.118 @ 135. This was done on 18" M&H DR's on all corners and a best short time of mid to low 1.4's. The car made a little over 600 on Buschur's Mustang Dyno.

Buschur Racing was just now in the GTR market and Dave and I had been talking about building the car over the winter. Dave is a no nonsense builder. If it's not fully functional, make power, or lightweight he doesn't build it. We decided to go with the following parts for the build:

BR 4.1 engine
BR Stage 3 head
BR spec'd cams for the build
BR Race FMIC and full 2.75" upper and lower i/c pipes
BR Mid pipe, 90mm
BR Single exit 90mm exhaust
BR Flex Fuel kit
AMS Alpha 12BR
DSS axles
T1 trans brace
Ivey Trans, Stage 4 transmission
FIC 2150's
Fore Innovations triple pump
AMS/Alpha Performance CCM brake kit
AMS/Alpha Performance turbo kit with BR/FP spec turbos
AMS/Alpha Performance hood, roof and deck lid
AMS/Alpha 17" wheels and slicks
Volk TE37's with M&H drag radials for the street
Cobb AP V2, tuned by David Buschur

The car made 862 WHP at 8000 RPMs at 21 psi. The FP/BR spec turbos made 20 psi in 4th gear at 4288 RPMs. The first goal was to be the first GTR to make an 8 sec pass on straight 93 octane. We were very close at Tx2K15 this year, with the first time to the track on the new setup, we managed a 9.112 @148 (GTR pump gas record by .2). This was with a 1.354 60 ft. Now that we have the car dialed in a little better it's to the track we go. There should be a track rental at Norwalk this month and if I can manage a way in, we'll try again. I'll be sure to post up if we do.

I'll post some pic below of the build a video of the record pass. Hope you enjoyed, I'll keep this thread updated as we progress.

In staging lanes. The only thing I dislike about these cars is you have to wait until the damn trans temp is up to 176 before you can launch it. So in the staging lanes you're constantly having to ensure your at temp. It's BS but I guess there for a good reason. I just hate the heat soak on the motor.

After the track rental it's time to load her up with E85 and make some power!!

[SlowSix]

damn that thing moves. I'm curious as to the cost of building those cars? is it more than your typical performance car to build or about the same ?

[MrAudia]

There was a "GTR tax" when these first came out. Since then the prices have fallen some so it's pretty comparable.

[cam303]

Right?! No, they didn't have a clue. I was small fish in a big pond there. If you weren't in the 7's you barely got a reaction.

[mr4teth]

Crazy fast .....

Comparable to what - buying a house?

Awesome car - those things are amazing even in stock trim.

[thedak]

Crazy nice build.

4.1 with a nice set of turbos and a built tranny.

Love it.

Well into the 8s on corn and could drive across the U.S. with the AC on.

Love these cars

[thedak]

That kinda set up is outta my league. Awesome stuff.

Dave's shit always seems top notch.

I will do a 9.9 bolt on only pass before I go further.

I'll have a friend do a budget Manley rod and piston set up.

ARP stud everything. OEM heads and cams.

Factory manifold upgraded turbos. Prob SiR USM Turbos

Tranny takes coin to build no matter what.

Low 9s and traps of 150 on E85 are in my relm.

That would be an awesome build. I would highly recommend looking at the bolt on turbos that Dave sells. He hols the stock manifold record with an 8.7 on an "older" style bolt on turbo. The new one he has should put him into the 8.5's with ease. That blows my mind!

These trans do kick you in the dick when buying them. Look at the Ivey 1.5. Holds 8's, reasonable and quick turnaround/good support.

Low 9's on some corn fuel would be a sick setup! We just got E85 3 miles from my house.:)

[thedak]

Will def check out his turbos then.

I didnt know now he had stock manifold stuff.

Brand new Speedway just built close to me.

E85 is $1.99 right now. 9mpg though.... F it

Never considered Ivey.

Shep One K or a Jack 950 is what I've been perusing.

Hoping gear set prices come down this year.

[cwh19]

I hope the speedway that's going in on 119 between Greensburg and Youngwood carries e85. Although it seems as if all of the new ones going in are carrying it.


Great build. These cars are just insane.

[thedak]

Download the Speedway App and get a rewards card.

App is great

[ERR0RMACR0]

The GT-R takeover has begun! Sick ass build, love it!

We are loaded up and ready to go make some passes at Norwalk/Summit. A private rental fell through so we picked up on the nice day and we'll have the track to ourselves. Not gonna lie, it's a little intimidating with nobody there but us. Regardless, today is the day records fall. I will try and post up when I can but we'll be busy trying different setups.

[thedak]

Oh snap...

[MrAudia]

9.2 @ 158 first pass...Bad 1.506 60ft
Picked up 10 MPH from Tx though!

[Dan B.]

Is the goal 8's on gas?

[MrAudia]

Yes, 8's on straight 93 octane that I got from the pump. Its never been done in a GTR or import for that matter.

[RUTHLESS]

Sweet! My goals for the Cobra where mid 9s on a full interior car. 8's is flying for sure and a big leap from 9s. That is something people don't seem to grasp. The faster you go the harder it is to hit the next hurdle.

[thedak]

Christ.... Shit is ridic



Hello my name in Matt.

I have the slow GTR

[thedak]

158mph..... Wow

[MrAudia]

9.094@156 1.342 60ft - New record!!! But still no 8! Making changes and hitting it again!
getting it to hook better!

Boo. Well congrats on the record, MrAudia!!

[MrAudia]

Boom went the front diff. lol We were getting her dialed in nice and she was leaving hard as hell! Went to do another burnout and boom. I got out of it quick so I don't think much else is damaged. Regardless, we set a new record, had a great day, and breaking shit is racing. I'm smiling like a MF'er right now. lol The car did feel incredible and the extra 10 MPH difference from Tx was very welcoming. This car does have an 8 sec pass in her...it just doesn't have the front diff at the moment. HA
Thanks for the support guys! We'll be ready for the rental.

[thedak]

Good stuff and impressive

[MrAudia]

Cool pic before we started today. Thanks again to Dave Buschur for all of the support and help! Dave is amazing at getting shit to go fast.

Holy shitballs that's flying on any gas!

Put a 9" Ford diff under the front end and give-er hell!

Is the car still mostly full weight?

Oh man that sucks. Any heavy duty diffs available for these things?

looks like the 17" drag pack wheels from AMS. possibly 15" but from the pic I think they are the 17 version.

[MrAudia]

The car has full interior, full exhaust, A/C, etc... I've only lost weight by replacing stock with lighter weight components. It's 3800 lbs with me in it.

Thanks and unfortunately no there isn't a beefy version yet. :(

You're correct, and they're the 17's on a AMS/Bogart wheel.

That's with him in it and the AWD stuff and fluids. I'm thinking that's not too bad?

[thedak]

I'll probably weigh mine at work on the certified scales here in a bit.

I'm interested.

[MrAudia]

These cars are about 4000-4100 from factory. Depends on who you ask.

Not sure if I missed it or not but what kind of power does she make?

It made 880 on Buschur's Mustang dyno which is a little over a 1000 on a dynojet

New diff has arrived and so did the tool that is needed to perform the swap. There also may be a different way to get heat to the rear tires without sacrificing the ets. There might be a chance we will rent Norwalk again next week. I'll post up results and updates as they happen. We found an easy .1 just in the tune and found to be running a max of 20 psi on the 9.0 pass. Adjustments to the tune and boost have been made.

[Dan B.]

The GTR is coming back this week. Once the ring and pinion pushed apart in the front diff it exploded and in a about a split second it broke my block, belhousing and some other stuff. Everything is all buttoned up and been working on a full billet front diff with Buschur that houses a larger pinion gear and ring. We were able to salvage the block as well. Thankfully it was just a cast tab the ripped off and held the diff in place, it could have been MUCH worse. Added some support in the proper areas to try and dodge this incident again.
GTR's ETS units, that are located in the trans, had to come out to get tested. We found out that it was set tight and sending too much power to the front wheels. It should have 0-10 ft lbs of preload then break free (basically by hand), Buschur tested mine and it was close to 50-60 ft lbs which was sending a little much power to the front wheels when i was launching. Sucks I couldn't make the track rental, I was going to bring the Evo in leu of the GTR being out but duty called.

[sutyak]

Glad to hear it's nearly fixed. Hopefully we'll have a Fall track rental you can come to! This rental was lacking in GTRs.

It had a "bachelor" era when shit was just nuts!! But that has all calmed down now and it's strictly about good friends, times, and kick ass racing!

[thedak]

I was told PRLs ETS basically exploded when they pulled it apart from slipping.

Same thing happened to their car. Went from 8.70s to 9.40s cause it was loosened up too much.

It's a crazy piece that you can hold in your hand. Doesn't look like it can remotely support 1500hp+

If you own a high HP GTR it would be who of you to learn how to take this part out of the tranny on a yearly basis.



I'm in for a Shep 2.5 Build in November.

I'm 100% going loose on the ETS. I rather keep the front end happy and in one piece.

Its all a feel thing as well.

Only Shep, Ivey, Jacks and a couple others know how to put that thing together to get a certain feel.

[MrAudia]

Car is on the lift and the ETS is getting tightened. I would not recommend going too loose on the ETS. Car behaves very differently and unsafe at high HP. I'll post up after we get it back in and I make a pass. Talked to Shep as well and he'll tell you the same.

[thedak]

What's considered high horsepower ? lol

[MrAudia]

What's considered high horsepower ? lol

IDK 1000+?? I wouldn't mind it so much if it was controllable but the way it behaved on the track last night...it's getting tightened and staying that way. I had to wheel the hell out of the car to get it back into the groove.

[thedak]

Great info you guys are getting testing this shit.

Makes it a lot easier for idiots like me to pick what works.

[MrAudia]

ETS has been pulled and tightened thanks to Buschur Racing and Jacks Transmission. Really stand up guys that stand behind their work. We'll see what she can do.

[MrAudia]

ETS fix is helping! 9.2 and it's hotter than hell! 60 ft is coming down. MPH is still way off. Waiting until it's cooler then running. stay straight the entire way down the track...thank god! Lol

[MrAudia]

Times are coming down, MPH is going up! 60 ft is getting better as well. Shaping up to be a good day. Tickle the tune and letting her eat.

[Dan B.]

I don't see any date on those 9 second slips.............:cool:

[MrAudia]

Won the first round. Hit boost cut several times going down the track. Raised the boost but forget to raise the limit. :/

On to the 2nd round. :) still no 8, 9.4. Crappy 1.47 60ft.

[thedak]

Heard you went faster ?.....!

[MrAudia]

On to the next round! Broke the record again too!!

[PaxtonShelby]

Holy Mother of God...

[MrAudia]

Lost in the 3rd round to Topspeed. They ran 7 sec's all weekend long. I cut a .020 tree to their .22X, half track my throttles closed and I didnt get a clean pass. Kudos to them, and they won the event. Everyone in my class was on race gas but me. I ran pump all weekend and held my own. Beat out a 8.1 car and a 8.3. Couldn't be happier. No 8 sec pass but there are some goodies that need installed and I'll run here again going for the 8! Great weekend!

[thedak]

Good stuff Dude

Congrats

Car is also in one piece at the end of the weekend.

[Tom]

I saw your 9.047 pass, it was pretty awesome. It sucks about the blue GTR, be careful out there!

[MrAudia]

Thanks, man! Were you there???

[Tom]

Yeah, I drove up yesterday morning, then came back around 3 today. It is an amazing event, Fiero events top out at like 9 people lol

[MrAudia]

What the hell, man!? You should of came said hello! Lol glad you enjoyed yourself.

[ERR0RMACR0]

Congrats, Nick--car is a freaking beast!! Very happy to see it running well :)

[Dan B.]

.........Fiero events top out at like 9 people lol

And six of those are from the local fire department to keep the flames at bay.

[MrAudia]

Congrats, Nick--car is a freaking beast!! Very happy to see it running well :)

Thanks, bud! Car has been running so well on the street and the track. Buschur freaking rocks!

WOW! Car is hauling with only 93 in it.


BTW I took your slip! jk


Wait maybe you took my slip? jk

[MrAudia]

^ lol thanks, sir! We've been working at it. Still hunting for that 8 sec pass tho.

[JeffreyCole]

Car looked sick on Sunday. I tried to catch up and say hi, but the stars just did not align.

The crash on the big end was scary to watch for sure, that car was on a pass. Something like 1.28 60' and 5.11 in the 1/8th right when everything went bad.

[MrAudia]

Update:
Intake manifold is off, bigger intake pipes going on and filter in a different location, some mods to the catch can and vacuum system, bigger FMIC...and a track rental at Norwalk in a little over a week.

[thedak]

Will look like straight porn....

I wanna see this Manifold

[MrAudia]

^it's a ****ing pain in the ass, man! The car should have been on the dyno yesterday. Thankfully AMS has been helpful and sending everything needed to rectify overnight. (Insert overnight parts from Japan meme)

It will be sexy once installed though! Just a PITA!

And hopefully, why I bought the damn thing in the first place....it makes more power! :)

[SK360]

Great to finally meet you this morning Nick. Can't wait to see the car

[MrAudia]

Great to finally meet you this morning Nick. Can't wait to see the car

You as well, sir! Good luck tomorrow if you're racing!

[GOT SVT]

Great to finally meet you this morning Nick. Can't wait to see the car

Ditto

[MrAudia]

Car started with zero check engine lights and is purring like a kitten. Next it will hit the rollers and then to the track!

[Dan B.]

Dang!

[thedak]

Oh

oh my....

[PaxtonShelby]

You, dak, and Sutyak get more done on your cars per day than the rest of us combined...

I find the short route Intercooler set ups intriguing.

[MrAudia]

^its an addiction that's for damn sure! Lol Plus I'm obbsessed with getting that 8 sec pass on 93 octane. Whatever that means at this point. :)

[MrAudia]

I find the short route Intercooler set ups intriguing.

It should help out quite a bit and has been proven on Daves setup. I'm curious if this IM is going to pick power up. The IAT's after the intercooler install dropped big and picked up power.

[thedak]

IC is monstrous.

[FPenvy]

I think it is but i'll ask is that the AMS CF intake manifold? looks like it and it's sexy.

[Steve-0]

http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/alpha-performance-r35-gt-r-carbon-fiber-intake-manifold.html
Why no billet throttle body upgrade? That looks absolutely sick though.

[somethingclever]

With all options I was at 15k for the intake and goodies.


Then I LOL'd.


I'll take two please.

[MrAudia]

I think it is but i'll ask is that the AMS CF intake manifold? looks like it and it's sexy.

It is. Freaking great piece and the fitment of the billet lower to the head was perfect. Should pick up some power.

Thank you! There really isn't much power to be had with the throttle bodies so I opted out.

[MrAudia]

I'll take two please.

Compared to some Wilson IM's I've seen for V8's, etc, its not bad. Pricey.. but not bad.

[thedak]

None of the large TBs work correctly anyway.

More problems than they are worth it seems

[FPenvy]

It is. Freaking great piece and the fitment of the billet lower to the head was perfect. Should pick up some power.



it may be one of the sexiest pieces but that price 8k without additions lol but it's a GT-R so its actually normal pricing.

i'm surprised you didn't add the third fuel rail. seems like you're getting up there in power and the extra fuel may be needed soon lol

[thedak]

60whp gain with the Manifold..... :shocker:


Very nice.

[MrAudia]

I can't wait to get to the track! Where did you see that posted? lol

[MrAudia]

I love this pic. It reminds me of my Evo's IC...but two of them welded together. Lol

[thedak]

Dave put it up on IG

[somethingclever]

curve comparison?

[MrAudia]

Dave put it up on IG

I didn't even know he posted it. You saw it befor I did. Lol



curve comparison?
There is a snip of the graph on David's IG. He'll send me the full chart soon and I'll post.

[MrAudia]

As promised. 80 WHP from intake alone. My ported manifold gained 25 and the was 60 WHP over that. Pretty legit for a IM!

[somethingclever]

Nice gains from what...5500-8000?

Good deal for a track car like yours....legit power increase.


So your car makes about 850 to the tire?


Errormacro makes 100whp more in his GTR?

[PaxtonShelby]

Dang....

850 on Dave's Mustang dyno is near or over a 1000 on a dyno jet.

[Tom]

and errormacro is on corn

[thedak]

1000whp on 93..... Sheesh


I'd be lucky to make 590 on that piss.

[RUTHLESS]

Are you guys at Shackdown at the Summit? If so saw the pass today and stopped by to chat but everyone was hiding in the trailer.

[MrAudia]

I believe Dave is there, I'm not positive tho. I'm still in Washington...wishing I was making passes. Lol

This Wednesday I'm headed to Summit weather pending and such.

[RUTHLESS]

I saw him run a 9.1 on the first pass. The next pass the car grabbed so much traction it pulled the rpm down and it was game over. The track was so sticky that we saw a guy loose the bottom of his shoe. The track crew had to scrape it off the track. Lol

And that's why I race primarily at Notwalk. Lol

[MrAudia]

Heading to Norwalk next Friday for TnT if anyone wants to go? Got the car back and found/fixed a shifting issue. We'll see what happens with the new added power and now that the 1-2 shift is corrected.

[thedak]

AMS Trans Pan ?

[MrAudia]

Yes sir, that coupled with the slosh-pan on the ProMax trans.

[MrAudia]

Heading to Norwalk tomorrow for TnT. I'll post up the slips as I get them. If anyone is there from here stop by and say hello.

[thedak]

I'm headed to TnT next Thursday then the SCS Rental.

Try for a 10.0 on street tires. Then time to tear it down.

Dave will hopefully be getting my Shortblock by Dec 1 to build.

[MrAudia]

9.2 thus far with the car shutting down at the 1000 ft mark. Having launch issues, etc...

[sutyak]

I hope you can get the issues worked out!

[MrAudia]

Kept making adjustment but couldn't get the car to leave consistent. Also, the wastegates kept popping open creating a weird boost issue. Back to the drawing board and back again soon. When the car did hook and move, it's never felt stronger. I think we can easily crack the 8's @160+.

[PaxtonShelby]

Those cars are amazing. At what point will you say enough is enough?

Not it sure if you mentioned - is the car caged?

[MrAudia]

Theres not a cage in it yet. I plan on putting a bar in it over the winter.

Honestly, I don't know when it's enough. To chase the real record (fastest/quickest) means a commitment I'm not sure I'm willing yet to make. I kind of like it being a 8 sec capable pump gas car. We'll see after I turn the boost up and make some bigger power. That will be test.

[MrAudia]

Back on the dyno today. 913whp/685 ft lbs.... straight 93 ocatane. Has some room left too.
Fixed the wastegate issue and graph is the smoothest it's ever been. Holding rock steady boost and still climbing at 8000 RPM. Also had to replace the ETS as the car was acting RWD the last time to the strip. Going to incorporate the syvecs RWD controller to see if I can get more heat into the slicks this time.
Hold off winter!!

I wasn't planning on it. However, I don't feel like getting booted after paying and 1 pass. May come and watch!

[Dan B.]

Be honest...........it'll be broken after one pass.

DOH!

:woot1:

[MrAudia]

Come on, Ranger Dan! lol

The only thing that's going to be broken the next time I'm out is my old record... and the 8 sec barrier.

[thedak]

Damn....

[thedak]

#43 fastest FBO GTR here.

Will be signing DMB T Shirts at the rental for $5

Those numbers are insane for 93. I hope to see this car make a pass in person some time. Heading to Norwalk tomorrow for the Halloween classic.

$65 sounds cheap to run an 8 :biglaugh:

one and done is all you need :thumbsup:

I don't think u will get booted.

Great air good prep close to home and cheap....

[MrAudia]

It's been a while since I've posted let alone updated this thread. So here's what's happening:

The car is at Opeka Bodyshop to get painted pink and lips put on the front of it...lol JK. It's getting the rear bumper fixed as a ****ing asshat backed into me a while ago and I was more concerned with racing than looks. However, that got old every time I opened the garage as saw that blemish, so that's getting fixed. I recommend Opeka, they are really easy to deal with and have great customer service. They fixed one of my other cars for free as long as I did a fly by! lol (It wasn't a lot of work at all)

Next the car is getting loaded on the trailer and heading back out to Buschur Racing. I'm having the tune touched up, cage added, billet front diff installed, and going to try one more time for the 8 second pass on 93 octane before I say "**** it" and turning the car up...finally.

Once turned up I'd like to go after the Alpha 12 record which I believe is an 8.1. Then it's either onto bigger turbos and billet stuff or being happy with low 8's and try something else.

Hope everyone is great and your winter projects are coming along! Spring can't get here fast enough!!

Good to hear Nick! For being a mild winter it still sucked! :P

[sutyak]

Awesome. Good luck on the < 8.1 record!

[thedak]

Dave's new billet diff case looks really really nice.

[PaxtonShelby]

About time you turn it up. Sheesh.

[MrAudia]

It's been a while since I posted. I've been crazy with work and family and haven't had much time to race. The car finally made it's way back to Buschur for some much needed upgrades and some corn fuel. I'm putting the "8's on 93 Octane" on hold so I'm more competitive at the Shootout.

The car made 1058 whp/818 ft lbs of torque at only 34 psi of boost on E77 fuel. These numbers are on Buschur's Mustang AWD 500SE dyno.

Current Specs:

BR built 4.1 liter
BR Stage 3 ported head
272 cams,
BR-BFIC intercooler,
Alpha Carbon Fiber intake manifold,
Alpha turbo kit with a custom set of Xona Rotor XR7865 turbos
BR 3"x3"x3.5" mid pipe into custom BR 4" catback
Ivey Promax trans
DSS rear axles
BR upgraded billet front diff
BR upgraded front driveshaft.
FIC 2150's
Fore Innovation triple pump with complete fuel line upgrade

I'll be competing in the GTR Street 32 Class at The Shootout in a few weeks and we fully expect to see some low-low 8 second passes from the car. Lots more left in the car.


Rather than stressing the ETS on the dyno (we dyno in AWD, always) I'll save the extra boost and timing for the track once we see how we get this much power down track. I actually replaced the ETS again just to be sure it was holding power. This is a wear part on these cars. I had a loose one and nearly put it into the wall because the car want to behave like a RWD.

For reference, this would be about 1195 whp on a Dynojet and 924 ft lbs.

The turbos see 20 psi at 4500 rpm. The peak boost was 33.47 psi and on a 5th gear pull the intake air temps using BR's largest air to air intercooler, the BFIC were DOWN to 111 (start at 115) degrees at the end of the pull.

Injector duty cycle was only 71.61 peak, so we have a lot of room left on this simple 6 injector set up.

Also the WGDC was set at a flat 60% where it held a flat 33.47 psi of boost.

[PaxtonShelby]

Only 34 psi...yowza!!

[Dickbag 5.h0]

What a beast! Once you're able to put the power to the ground how much more does the car have left?

[MrAudia]

What a beast! Once you're able to put the power to the ground how much more does the car have left?

I'd guesstimate another ~200 WHP. I run a full slick in the back and a DR up front. Now with the billet front diff I'll be able to leave a little harder getting into the 1.2 short times (hopefully). Best 60ft to date is a 1.33.
