save up some $$ and get an ogura flywheel as well when you do the clutch.

yep I could smell it when I was leak checking, had to tighten the fitting near the bottle. It smells foul. Unlike nitrous which doesn't have a smell at all.

he got 2 flat! a great effort.

rebuilding twins can cost as much as a new one btw.

whats the $$$ on the exhaust bit?

single plate , 9 puck ceramic compound will do nicely. Use a 2000lb pressure plate and no higher. It is very improtant to 'bed in' the puck clutch properly. If you don't it will fragment and shudder. I have the kind of power you speak of (thanks to NOS) and I run a 9 puck with a well used stock pressure plate. It's as soft as factory.

if you truely believe it is so! Hey rob whats the deal with d'turbo, would have come down but, duty called.

Killer-T on the W.A side of things can tell you he had one recently. Definately PM him.

hello people and android chickens.

benm, nah. It's a tax deduction but, I'd rather sell the car sooner.

Kidd, sorry mate I don't think I understand what your trying to say.. do you? The person who buys my car will be very well informed of what I've used it for, in fact I would reccomend they check out SAU to get the feed back from people who know me and how I treat the car. I have yet to place a single add outside SAU, because I rather like the idea of people being able to gather info on my cars history to make an informed decision. You might be interested to know that my car is quicker than most because the engine is in great condition as are all the mechanicals, and I keep it that way. I take a degree of pride in maintaining my car,and unlike some people I know what I'm doing. As for your NOS questions.... "fit the jets" one nitrous jet (0.051 inches) and one fuel jet (0.034 inches) makes for the correct 100HP mixture. Upping the jets actually makes more heat in the engine due to the large increase in horspower. Though the nitrous gas does cool the intake air. NOS is dangerous and so is petrol. I recomend morons stay away from both. I only get automotive grade NOS which contains a sulfur compound that 'stinks' and lets you know you have a leak. The bottle is stored in a ventilated and sealed boot and the intention is not to even have it present when I drive on the street.

for my setup. It would cost around $1500 new with the same gear, not including fitting and a tune.

yay another 13 second whale!

MotoX, yep a 2.0 as opposed to a 2.3 would have put me in a 12.9 or better. I might get another R33 and repeat the experiment, this time with some good rear tyres.

I'll take the 'very' out and leave it at 'a slow car'.

This HKS Vs Garret thread is good to clear up some misunderstandings. HKS use all Garrett bits, therefore they ARE Garrett turbo's, just HKS spec'd. The worlds highest profile and expensive racing teams (like CART) DON'T use HKS turbos. They do however use garrett bits like HKS do and other brands and conduct their own research into the best fit. Regardless of how much research HKS do on the turbo build selection, they are only able to 'best fit' it based on a particular engine spec and combination of parts like cam profile/head flow etc... other than that you may find you engine does not resemble the HKS test engine and will benifit from a little R&D. Turbo spec. selection can be as fine tuned as you want, it all costs money. HKS have many turbo packages to choose from. Are they the best ? --- Depends how close your engine resembles their testing base.

benm, you know I like the 1/4 The 205's make for an entertaining ride with NOS activated. The wheel spin from crusing @ 60kmh to 100kmh 2nd is hillarious.

What sort of dollars are you looking at per cam? Are they made from new blank billets or regrinds? I think the only DE cam worth a quick swap into a DET is the exhaust cam, that one alone would do and since there is more hassle with the VVT intake cam I'd consider it. BTW can you do anything about a cam to suit the existing VVT?

Nitrous is on, tested and tuned. The 50HP shot is most enjoyable. The car pulls like a bastard. I have a set of 100HP jets on order and a 'soft plume' nozzle to replace the fogger 2 nozzle system I'm presently running to allow better atomisation and distribution. The 100HP kit will be scary stuff, from the info I have from another RB25det user of this size kit, it translates to around 120HP extra at the tyres from his testing of the same kit.

Thought I'd resurrect this thread, for those following the nitrous GTST relationship. So far 50hp works wonders. I am using the fogger 2 nozzle system , but I will change to the 'soft plume' to allow better atomisation for more even distribution. The other thing to look out for is the rubber join on the throttle body gets super cold. Even after a substancial drive around without the gas it remains quite cold. With variations of temp it will be interesting to see how the original rubber part holds up.

I think I'll get another NOS kit for my next car. When I was at Chris Mills ordering the parts there was a guy there with a metalic blue series 1 shape Rx7 (had a flare kit).I put my foot down on the way out and this thing past me like I was standing still , apparently it has a best of 10.9 on road tyres. Nothing like rotories for making a 10second true street car.

Just don't go buying a WRX

It's getting harder to part with this car by the day

A 10lb NOS bottle costs around $100 to fill. On a 50HP shot thats 220 seconds of use or 22 full drag runs. On 100HP shot its 110 seconds or 11 full drags. you can get larger bottles and if you go for Ozrace kits then BOC gas can fill the bottle cheaper than the NOS brand. I'm adding a 'soft plume' fogger nozzle to replace the 'fogger 2' style nozzle I presently have, to get the 100hp shot to 'hit' better.

try BFG drag radial TA's, nothing sticks like them. Or if you like going around corners as well the Bridgestone RE540.
