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.

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
