Improving The Skyline R33 Gtr Vspec

[ike]

Have owned a mint r33 gtr vspec for 6 mths . Imported it from the Japan.

Has a full weldina cruising exhaust system from the turbos,400r nismo body kit. nismo gauges ,turbo timer and a few other visual enhancements. I put a KN panel filter and some LMGT1 18x10 +20 wheels with falken 275/35 tyres.

Changed all the oil for redline .The car goes really well as it should at 38k k on the odometer.

The engine is in GC with good even compression on all six cylinders.

I want to increase power to around 300kw and would like it to be very responsive . not interested in bulk power.

From my research on turbos it appears that either garrett 2860Rs (HKS gtss)

or trust T517z 8.0cm2 are good torque monsters. The gtss are double roller bearings and water cooled and the trust jobs are sleeve brgs and not water cooled. I think the trust jobs come on faster though.From what everyone says.

Would like to fit a apexi power fc with the boost controller kit as well which is self learning.

Also want to fit new cam pulleys ,crank pulley and tensioner rollers with a stronger toda belt , so as to guarantee the drive train.

Want to leave interior stock apart from the FC controller I do not want any extra gauges.

Dont do burn outs just fast windy roads. Would the clutch last?.

This is not a everyday driver just my obsessional toy. (top grammar)

I would really appreciate any input on this and welcome any suggestions

before I commit coin.

Its good that you dont do burnouts, they are pretty hard to do in a 33gtr

Since you havent mentioned the clutch it could be assumed its stock? If so you could try your luck but definitly budget for an upgrade. It may already be an upgrade item your not aware of.

Sounds like you have a pretty good plan. I doubt you could go wrong with any of your choices of turbos, you just have to choose. People will tell you pro's and cons about each of them, but i have also heard that the trust's are awesome and are capable of more top end should you ever get bored.

As in gun32's post, dont forget the fuel system.

Any recommendations on clutches is there any single plate jobs that can handle that power and same action as stock . Don't want to load up engine thrust bearing dont want to pay the earth either

cheers mate

Thats one nice looking V-Spec

400R rear looks great! be sure to post your decisions and results.

[paulr33]

u might be able to have some fun with the vspec diff

you can intercept the power for the vspec pump and play

Looks as though you have some fine cars especially the rb28. keep us all posted on it.

Would'nt mind buying a clapped out r33 gtr for a project .

just bought PFC,HC and optional boost controller from Nengun $1200 delivered , hope to fit in 2 weeks

so I,ll let you know how it goes. then I can gradually build it up bit by bit sensibly and end up with a reliable beast. That way my lovely wife wont notice heh heh.

[ike]

Finally fitted PFC with boost controller and a twin plate nismo coppermix clutch. Old one shagged.

Getting around 220kw at rears I think (tuned with 4wd dyna pack)

Now collecting new parts for rebuild.

Have a new N1 block (from japan)

and a good suspension kit.

Waiting for Tomei 2.8 stroker kit

Lots of other Tomei gear

Oilcooler/sump setup

Trust T517z 8.0cm

Bigger brembos 6P 355 F 4P 340R

hks evc5

need a roll cage

Should be ferken responsive hoping for a good reliable 350kw at the wheels

Three weeks to go and it will all be finished .

Gearbox also being overhauled with full OS guts.

ATI harmonic balancer.

trust r-spl IC

Only thing left is the diffs anyone recommend good LSDs 1.5 way or 2 way I am a bit dim on this subject could someone please enlighten me

Also want a well fitted roll cage anyone know of any.

Beerbaron and Blitz you guys seem very knowledgeable.

Spent a shitload of coin on this car but it is worth it .

My aim is to compete in the dutton rally and other similar events not drags.( they are a drag)

Will post results

Hey also off the subject whats the go with the 10% warning below my avatar Admin guys.

[ike]

Heh heh lots of views but no comments

As I said before this site is starting to get a bit too clicky for me

There are some very knowledgeable people on this site

But too many dyno pullers (fantasy land) who pour over dyno sheets and rave about boost pressures when its all about flow first .

Then you get awkw rwkw jockeys BHP is the one on a real dyno or hub dynos (dynapack) Been a hands on mechanical engineer all my life and drive train losses are minimal. ie less than 15%

I am having my car built for response,reliability and endurance for weekend racing but should easily do a low 11 should I want too.

Joined a Japanese site and are these people friendly .My language skills are improving.

Must be an underarm Australian thing (Go K1W1) .

Well a lot of info is already on the forums.

When people comment on the same topic 6+ times, they tend not to do so after a while.

Especially when a topic like GTR/Turbos is so common.

Also you havent really asked any direct questions in the last few posts, more comments... and the questions you do ask, are better suited to other sections where the experts in those areas are looking more often

Mabye you should read my post properly Nismoid. I was asking about the in and outs of the different types of differentials as I am not to au fei with them and want more knowledge on the best types for track racing.

Have not asked about turbos for a while as The T517z 8cm are the ones that are going on my engine ( as we speak) Although it would be nice to hear from anyone with these turbos on a tomei stroker.

Just seems to me that you have to sling some shite to get a response on this site.

But I will definitely check out the Drive train section Nismoid
