waste of money with what you have. The stock GTR intercooler is a pretty good bit of kit.

Perhaps another cause of the paint coming off is going from -20degrees to 80degrees constantly in winter? I can't imagine paint would like that much. The plenum is on the opposite side of the turbos so getting excessive heat under the engine bay is more likely to cause paint damage on the hot side.The logic is quite flawed. The valve and timing covers are the same sort of alloy, one would expect them to lose more paint closer to the turbos. If it's meant to indicate 'serious thrashing that leads to extreme heat beyond normal use' as you suggest. I have to say that I've never seen the paint come off the plenum at track days as an instant result of this. The most obvious areas to look for 'over heating' are the oil and cooling systems or the things they bugger up when run to extreme temps. Like compression and cyl leakage. You buy a car from japan this old and you take your chances. Given you can't walk up and test these motors, Plenum paint is the least of your worries and so this BS myth belongs in the bin as an old wives tale.

Turbo off R33 gtst Great Rb20 upgrade. Comes with oil/water lines and intake elbow I've die grinder ported the entry to smooth of the casting bulges for better flow and I've ported out the turbine recess by a few mm to decrease backpressure and also enable better resistance to ceramic turbine failure for running higher boost. $350 Will frieght at buyers expense Will get pics up later but you've seen one you've seen them all. I'll do some at least of my quality port work tho'

$3,100

SOLD

hi guys, Sorry to say ,I have a local guy who just pipped you for the offer, yesterday (by two hours). If he doesn't pick them up this weekend then they are Vspec33's

I had a few GTR's now and been around alot more. Some didn't have all the paint on the plenum, like the rust bunky R32 GTR I have now. the motor has been leak down and compression tested and it's in good nik so your theory is incorrect. Telling people that plenum paint is some sort of mark of engine condition or the lack of it is just plain "YO V-TECH" in my book. There are only 'real tests' for motor health that involve actual measurement. Plenum paint = motor health is BS. However happy to be proven wrong. Await your reply

thats nasty! Good on you for having a go tho' , you don't learn if you don't try.

12's no problems. perhaps mid 12's. Take it down and see. Talk is cheap.

Granthem, You need a few more mph on the terminal to crack the 13 easy. The mph helps indicate the power you are making so simply put R33Turbo's car makes more power than yours does. When mods are basically the same this can sometimes be due to things like running a Pod filter with no heat sheild.

Ouch thats a one huge powered car there. You will find it does well at the drags more so than the track. If it's setup right thats a a 9 second car. You need to budget for a motor strip down / basic rebuild if you intend to give it a go at the drags. That sort of power mandates more frequent rebuilds if it's used.

If you have the time get the GTR owners manual and get the checks done it reccomends to whatever extent you need to be satisfied. Ignor the flaking plenum paint reccomendation it's got nothing to do with engine condition at all. The engine can be rooted even with the paint in perfect nik, obiviously. Tyre kicking activity only.

What is it with people and plenum paint? Want to see how good the tyres are? Just kick them. It's about as scientific. I had a very very old motor in an R32 GTR and it's engine bay looked very clean. The plenum paint all intact with 250,000kms and some good thrashing under it's belt. That motor was a hand grenade. On topic the V-spec is a fairly rare car and no doubt would suit an enthusiast. As people have mentioned rebuilds are a good thing to budget for given the vehicles age.

do a search. it's been covered plenty on this forum

Have a look http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc...ned-vs-r35_auto

change from 440cc injectors to smaller 370's ?

If it's running well then you may have just put a few thousand kms of extra wear on everything.
