I've got a good friend who wants to throw money at his car, he's pretty much sorted for suspension, brakes, wheels, just looking at the motor really

he already has:

Power fc

clutch

Cam gears

and wants to keep the bottom end standard. with a possibility of cams

i suggested some 25/30's as he wants usable power like i have or gt-ss??

Injectors dont know which size??

fuel pump

dumps either hks or ??

wants around 300kw i guess.

Cheers

Andrew

Andrew...seriously....get him to change oil,water pumps...timing belt and timing gear bolts........

If he has done this and is confident in the motor...then 2530's /GT2860-5 ,HKS DUMPS ,AVCR Boost controller...Nismo fuel pump and regulator,Slitfire Coils, 700cc or higher injectors followed by good safe tune for street and he will be able to see 300AWKW's.

11.5 seconds 1/4 Mile and most important 4 sec...100km's.....

OK he also wants to go cams..Poncam's are the best......with cam gears aswell...

Total estimated cost for pump,water and oil belt and labour $1800

Total estimated cost for mods....including Poncams...... $13000

Does he have that sort of money?

If he does...get him to buy a Nismo crate engine...I think by memory..$13000

also, if he wants 300 at the wheels then go for the GT-SS kit which is going for $2500 on nengun at the moment which includes all gaskets and bolts. He already has a decent setup to make a good gain with the kit without changing fuelling or AFM requirements

Theres a set of x-force dumps going for $290 in the for sale section. I dunno if theyve sold already or not and are based on the HKS design (ie. split)

Well said.

If his power goals are ~300kw at the wheels, then IMHO you would want to select a turbo package that can not only reach that power figure, but also provide the best possible response for street.

Therefore, the answer is GT-SS's.

The HKS GT-SS / Tomei Type B Poncams / Sard 700'c combo has been proven time and time again to produce anywhere from 300-330awkw with relative ease (depending on the tune of course).

sorry to be off topic angus, was ur gtr at the drags on wensday the one with the wing remooved and like 10 or so spoked wheels?

hey yeah i had the wing removed with the bits still on the boot for the arc wing i have, but i think there are 5 or 6 spoke wheels..

OK nice thanks for the feedback guys.

oil pump

timing belt

hks dumps

nismo fuel pump and reg

550cc-700cc injectors

gt-ss turbos

looking at around $5200 without shipping from nengun. and without a water pump either.

say $6000 with shipping $600 for 10% if customs grabs it. $6600 around $2000 for labour

$8600 in total. hows that sound??

going to need cams waterpump by the looks of things

Edited by Angus Smart

You dont "need" cams. Cars have made 300rwkw without em

Also get the Nismo 555/550cc ones. Bolt in, and certainly not too big. You might even get there on stock injectors aswell.

300rwkw = GT-SS.

2530/2860's, are too big for what your friend wants.

And nismo crate motor? Do you even know what comes with it?

Seriously 700HP-GTR33, please stop misleading people with incorrect posts/advice on parts/quote/prices etc etc.

Most threads people end up correcting something that would otherwise mislead users

$2000 for labour is not going to cut it.........allow........$4000+ depending on troubles you might get into...and don't forget tune.

Seriously, what are you smoking?

Im sorry but the majority of your posts offering your 'technical knowledge' of late are full of baseless garbage.

Are you quoting random facts you read in the latest issue of Hot 4's magzine?

Do you have any idea what your talking about?

Nick......I have been there.....

Installation of Nismo fuel pump...and regulator.....$500...plus pump...Drop out tank....drain...install pump..and regulator.

Installation of Injectors....No mechanic will do it for less than $300 and obviously computer needs to be re-calibrated....$$$

Installation of Turbo's...dumps.....with engine in...$600+ ....that is if you are not fussy with installing new gaskets or renewing the oil and water lines.

Installation of new oil pump...lots of dramas so I think make sure you remove the motor out....extra $300 to get motor out.

Last time we needed to drop the sump and still could not get the Nismo item back in...pick up is lower and did not want to twist it getting it back in.....Oh make sure you put lock-tite on the screws inside...bad design...

He needs to renew his water pump...those things go quickly...so the new water pump + fitting...Say $300.

The car still has not been tuned yet...so allow..$500 for 4 to 5 hours on the dyno+ road tune...

So get off your high horse Nick...have you ever payed work-shop prices...?

The lucky thing is he has a friend that is a mechanic....make sure he knows what his doing...breaking washers or bolts on the removal of the old turbo's can set things back and cost more to fix....

Goes for you to ash.....I have been through all this and can even post receipts on work carried out by performance work-shops.

If You and Nick agree that for $2000 you can get Turbo's/Dumps/Injectors/Fuel pump/Regulator/Oil pump/Timing Belt

all fitted..........I believe you are mis-leading people.....let alone there has been no talk of a good tune and all the other minor details that will be need to be adressed.

Good luck with the mods mate..

Oh as far as the new crate motor..here is a link http://www.justjap.com/parts_nengines.htm

That is a long bare engine, and is a Nissan R33 GTR N1 engine, not a Nismo 'Crate' engine.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
