Finally Getting My Gtr Back

[wildr33gtst]

Hi after buying a Freshly rebuilt R32 GTR about six months ago i had an unfortunate thing happen to me when the oil pump failed after 800kms of driving which i was shattered about,

But finally this week my car will be ready to pick up. Its been a long six months for me but at least i have had the GTST and 180sx to keep me happy while its been away but none of them give me the feeling the R does.

I have fully rebuilt it again my mods include:

40 thou over CP Forged pistons

Rev Con Rods

ARP Stud Bolts

Linished and Balanced crank etc.

Race Bearings

N1 oil Pump

Jun Crank Collar

Tomei Sump Baffle

Tomei Oil Restrictor

External Oil Return mod from Head to Sump

R33 GTR N1 Turbos

ARC Radiator Guide

Os Giken cam Gears

Hks Dumpipes

4inch turbo back exhaust

Magic Cat

Denso 650cc Injectors (Not intalled Yet)

Bosch 044 Fuel Pump

Apexi Power Fc

Torque Split Controller

Blitz DSBC Id3 boost Controller

Greddy Oil Catch Can (Not Installed Yet)

Thats all i can think of at the moment but i know there is more.

I have a few questions for people that have been in the same boat than me..

Is there anything else that i should do when to it when i get it back this weekend?

And how long do i have to run it in for?

Does Anyone know if these Denso 650cc injectors are direct fit? if not are they going to be difficult to install?

What oil should i be using to run it in?

Thinking about going to racepace to get tuned since i have never heard a bad thing about racepace, How much do you think it will cost to get tuned?

Since the standard oil pump failed before now i am paranoid about reving it thats why i wanted to try and sort out all the bad oil problems that the GTR has. Is there anything else you would do to it to keep it reliable and keep it from happening again? or any advice?

Heres some pictures of my Engine Bay if anyone is interested...

thanks for all your help and look foward to seeing everyone at the next SAU event as im looking to use this car for track and street. Once again thanks everone

Exciting!

There's mixed stories about running cars in.. Most people say just baby it ( under 3k rpm for 1,000km) but, I've also read another article on how you should drive it as normal, boosting it etc because, it runs the rings or something something in I have no idea what I'm talking about and I've lost the article..

But the main point is that the article insisted on driving it as normal.

[wildr33gtst]

Yeah i think i will drive it normally and just not try to rev it to much and see how that goes, The only thing that annoys me are the r33 N1 turbos that will be restricting me!! I bought them when i first got the car and now they will be holding me back but im hoping to make close to 300rwkw on them i think a few other members have. So contemplating taking them off and putting some bigger ones on. But i havent driven it with them so i will have to wait and see.

was the failed oil pump a n1 oil pump aswell?!?!? thought they were good for the rb26 rev limit, otherwise ur next step up is a JUN oil pump($2000+)

racepace is defiently a good decision buddy, the guys a god wen it comes to RB26s. give a call, although he does charge a premium price, his advice is golden.

JUN oil pumps dont cost 2000+ at all.

[wildr33gtst]

The Oil pump that failed was standard so since i needed a new one thought i would get an N1 pump and yes i fitted a Jun crank collar. While the crank was out i wasn't going to take any shortcuts.

My mechanic said dont worry about the Head to Sump Return but i said for my own piece of mind i would like to do it, So i hassled him and we did it.

Yeah im flipping up between racepace and RE customs just trying to run the engine in ATM then i will have to get it booked it somewhere and fit the injectors at the same time. My only problem is i dont have a hand controller on the power fc to adjust the fuel settings when i fit them so trying to figure out some way around it.

[wildr33gtst]

didnt want to run a Jun Pump with standard sump if i was going to run that i would have probably put the Trust Extension on the Sump, But hopefully the N1 pump does the job.

I'm hoping for 300rwkw with these Turbos but already planning to change them by the end of the year and pump out alot more but for now i should be happy.

[Bunta]

make sure you let us all know how the tune goes, i am looking at a car that has these turbos and i wold be interested to see what they make! The car i am looking at only runs 12psi and is making a bit over 230awkw...thats nice but i want to know what will happen at 18 - 20 psi

[wildr33gtst]

Yeah im interested myself i beleive a few people have made between 280rwkw - 300rwkw. So i will let you know shouldnt be to long. I so wish they were r34 N1's so i could make that bit more power.

[omega36]

man that looks sweet! when will it all be ready by?

Scotty,

The Bay looks the goods bud. Clear Cam cover does look gd. I will get around to doing mine. But who knows, we have to get some pics done together. Black & blue will look great at dusk.

Cheers justin i will have to come past your work one day soon, and we will go for a cruise.

clear cam covers a must, looks alot better than before.

Thanks everyone for your kind replys.

[wildr33gtst]

Car is back now so im just going to fit a couple more parts run it in and get it tuned, Then take it to the drags and see how it goes.

Then probably start looking for a different turbo setup still undecided whether to get some twin garrett 2860-5's or a Single T04Z!!

Decisions Decisions....

I would probably prefer to keep the twin setup so i dont get hassled by the police to much.

haha, seems like its the time for gtr rebuild completion... Mine will be finished in about 2 weeks, cant wait as its been 2.5 years in the making.....
