What does it take for an r33 gtr to run mid-high 12's all day everyday?and reliably as well, is that a bit much to ask, or easily do-able?, im still deciding on the whole r33 gts-t mod it up, or just buy an r33 "r"

thanks

Very easy to do a low 12 in a 33 R, I did 12.3@110 mph in a friends 33 . The only mods were: Power f/c,

cat back exhaust, front pipes and ebc ( 1 bar boost ) .

The only risky thing in them are the ceramic turbos, if they let go ( just a matter of when, not if) they usualy take the engine with them ...

Plenty of 33's for sale in australia starting at around $29 k .

thanks heaps ppl, i think i mite just go with the "r" like ive always wanted to:), umm the risky issue?why so, is it cause your running too much boost on the stock ceramics???, i wouldve though an exhaust/pod and tune would only benefit the car, with no real disadvantages??

Yes but @ 1bar the turbos are at their limit.

So like it was said it will only be a matter of when not if.

I ran my car with stock engine/turbos, 1 bar boost/exaust, stock ecu which ran 12.4's easy, I drove it everyday as a daily driver, no problems for 40,000ks :P

A bit hard to believe you when you're selling the turbos in your signature :lol:

I rebuilt my engine because the ringlands were stuffed (which is only because a certain workshop stuffed something up and detonated my engine to death).. and i figured why not upgrade to GTSS turbos at the same time, so my turbos for sale are still in good cond :happy:

How's the GTSS turbos compared to the N1, 2530 and 2540's?

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
