No and no!

I am still rebuilding the RB20, but i'm also about to start doing a RB30DET as i have just bought a head. will be a weapon in the light VH shell!

Not sure what i'll fit, obviously i'd love a RB30DET but I love the way the 20's rev!! Good for holding big drifts but then again i'd like more torque...

I will still be out there helping out, hope it doesn't rain!

Well I had a good day, I got a best time of 1:06.00, but I ran out of brakes at the end of the day (again). I was more then happy with my time though, since i took 2.5 secs of my previous best.

There was another GT-R out there that got a time of 1:05.3, but he had AP Racing 6 potters, and more power.

Hopefully I can stop my brakes from running away before next time.

What pads do you run? I recently bought some Hawk HT-10's and were happy with them for a few laps before I blew mine up last time! Lookong at $300 though.... or try DS3000 Ferodo.

Standard calipers and particularly rotors, either Sumatomo or Brembo are just too small for the weight of a GTR in competition. I totally warped a set of brand new DBA 5000's (alloy hats) after just two stages of Rallye Burnie last year in my car, and that was with 3" ducting running right into the veins and nice and progressive Pagid Blue pads.

    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.   
    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
