As Rohan mentioned I have a DrDrift chip as well. Bang for buck I swear by it. Sure its not a full motec, but I mean its a street car.

But yeah, mine was just Sams off the shelf for basic modded RB20s (ie cooler, bit of boost filter etc) so all we did was plug it in, wack it on the dyno to check it all was running fine, which it was. So it was the cost of the chip, and the cost of a dyno run. My afrs are a perfect 12, so much so you can almost run a ruler along the afr line. Power was up about 15-20kw atw before the chip. Way way more mid range. And most importantly it did all of that AND I get more kms per tank of fuel, approx 50kms to every tank to be exact. Add to that no boost or speed cut, and the rev limiter moved.

So if you have a basic modded RB20 that might be the way. Get the chip up by post (REALLY easy to install), put it on the dyno then go from there. Mine didnt need any extra tuning, neither might yours. As everyone else has said tho. Talk to Sam.

But for me about 2 years ago it cost like $450 or so with the dyno time.

$900 did seem a bit steep, so it's goot to see there is other alternatives.

right now really exploring the option of just whacking in a rb25.

too bloody indecisive. right now it will probably have to wait till the end of jan, as I just ordered a vertex kit, so the car will be getting a respray and some volks start of jan.

*interested* i just sent out that email thing out to you Dr Drift :D)))

P.S ROHAN WEN IS DA LINER GONNA BE READY?!! :DD IWANNA SEEZOR EKEKEE

Soon brudda soon.
;)

Daughter boards are now available to convert RB25 ECUs to run 27C256 Eprom for Map Data :D

At LAST!!!

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
