Thought a GT-R transmission was expensive?

@walter

My comment was in response to MPD

What I was saying is that with the AP, bad tuning is possible.

GT-R is sweet but over priced imo. Sucks to be him. l2putpowertrainbacktostockbeforeservicevisit.

Shit, you can buy a motor from Oddy’s for that much $$$. It’s way to much.

This is what a $50K motor should look like:

The only thing that looks like it is worth any money on that heap is the dry sump oiling system.

Hell this looks more expensive and it’s only $16,000, Ex DTM Opel engine by Cosworth:

Or if you’d like to man up for spend like $65k you can have an ex F1 Cossie V10.

THAT is what a $50k (+) engine should look like.

Meh, to each his own. But we agree that the motor in the OP is not worth $50K, right?

[MPD47]

Haha yeah, of course.

One would be hard to argue it was worth $50k considering that it isn’t a $50k motor… period. Apparently its $36k

the fuel we have in lebanon is 98 octane RON while in the US its 93 AKI and not RON. when i downloaded the new AP software , i had to choose the country, and since my GTR is a US spec car, i choosed USJDM software and i ran on stage 2 97 octane software. the 97 octane of the US maps is AKI while i was running 98 octane RON. and 98 octane RON appears to be less than 93 octane AKI… timing settings should have been different… i should have stayed on version 1.08B

wheres the A/C and powersteering go?

Didnt read the whole thread, but I saw this on another forum. Apparently the owner was running a USDM map as it is a USDM car from the Cobb Accessport. The map was for 93oct in the US rating.

I dont recall the exact rating system for whatever country he is in, but he thought he was putting in 98oct. When in fact their rating system for octane is different in his country. He redid the math and came out to be much lower than the US spec 93oct. Car had detonation, a breakdown of parts and then put a hole in the block.

Edit: read the thread… my numbers were off, but same idea
