have a mate that is currently modding his ls1. intake and exhaust with extractors got 200rwkw which is what most get. another $1000 this week for ls1edit and a tune and the tuner reckons up to 250rwkw. if you want 300, i reckon you need cam at least. 200rwkw vt calais auto vs. 200rwkw r33 manual (me) and i walk all over him at any speed apart from the launch. throw in some curves and at the first corner he can't even see my rear end. you'll be surprised what torque RB25's produce. i've got close on 500nM with stock turbo, injectors and pump.

r34gtt 300rwkw manual would, in my opinion, kill an auto 300rwkw ls1. weight is the killer!

There is so much variation in horsepower of the LS1's but gerneally a VY 235M will make about 200rwkw with an exhaust and may go to about 220rwkw with a tune on 98Oct. Put in a 218 deg square at 50 thou camshaft with 112 deg lobe centre's from memory and you will get up around the 260-270rwkw mark with a MAFLESS tune. I've never seen one make 300rwkw and thats with big camshafts around 230 at 50 thou on standard motors anyway.

And yes the R34 would smash it with 300rwkw.

take into consideration now that GENIIIs are gettin as cheap as R33's, and then factor in that its alot cheaper to get 300rwkw in an LS1. i honestly cannot think of ever seeing a skyline make 300 at the wheels without a built motor, or at least a basic rebuild with forgies, then add in the bigger turbo, fuel system etc.

GENII+4k capa supercharger+exhaust and tune=300+rwkw with fairly good reliabilty.... or so im lead to believe

They are definately pretty cheap to do up in a bolt on case.

Exhaust and twin 2.5 $ 1500

Tune and OTR $ 1600

My brother done this and it kicks out a little more power than mine, 250rwkw, but mine has broader stronger midrange so i can still blow him on roll ons. But its still impressive and it would beat a standard turbo R33 with mods.

WogsRus, that is, providing you did it in 4th gear which is 1:1. Otherwise you have to divide by the gear ratio.

Mind you my car "only" pulls 400nM on the dyno in 4th gear (245rwkw), which dividing by 3.69 gives you 108nM the flywheel which is like a 1.5L carby motor!! So yeah torque at the wheels on a dyno is not comparable to the engine torque.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
