Hey Paul,

Looks real nice. Catch can is sweet in that position. I want to do the same as my ABS has been removed too. Is there plenty of room back there? Do you think it would work with a single high mount?

what numbers are you hoping to run at the quarter. I have the same plenum and throttle body coming to run with my TO4Z.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul, The catch can is another Hypertune item $220 plus freight, plenty of room there even with a single high mount and dump, yours being a R33 they may have to change the mounting brackets slightly.

The car was built to run 9's, high 9's. Anything more requires a lot of work to maintain (engine pull downs, gearbox overhauls etc). Im not saying this set-up will be set and forget, its just that I know how much maintenance (sp*) Mark and Theo do to their cars to keep them in the low 9's (and now high 8's) and i don't posses their time, facilities or budget.

Im in desperate need of some sponsorship $$ to keep this car competing, and without this im not willing to flog the car to death. Im just going to go out and have some fun and high 9's should keep me amused im sure.

Hi Paul,

cheers for the feed back, i have an R32 aswell so all should be good. Nice price on the catch can, does that include the lines and filter media? I'll have to flick Ben an e-mail and get one of these.

Good luck with you quarter goals sure is i nice setup. I hear ya on the time and money.

hey paul, im currently building a predominantly streetcar oriented gtr, 2.7 jun stroker... got myself ppg synchro box n all the other stuff needed, i wanna have a crack at a high 9 but ill be happy with a low-mid 10, ive got a hks t04z but i wanna change it to somethin slightly larger to get me over the line.... thats y i asked wat sort of power u makin..

wat box n clutch u have behind urs??

Nissan gearbox with OS gearset and an NPC twin plate clutch.

The difference between a mid 10 car and a high 9 car is a lot in $$ terms and development, thats why there is lots of 10 sec cars and hardly any 9's. Hope you aware of what you may be getting yourself into, and if so then i wish you all the best and good luck.

the above statement is made with the utmost sincerity.

the OS gearset gonna hold up alrite you think paul?

im very kind to the gearbox (granny shifter) and we redo the synchro's after 50 passes (trade secret to make the OS gearboxes last)

ye understandable totally, i guess realistically i wont see the 9s as i cant be bothered messing with suspension settings all the time trying to get it right etc worth a crack tho i guess, ill try a few times :) im gonna get jim to tune it once my engines in and run in, see how i go.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
