Dazmo's R33gtr Build

[dazmo]

Hey Richard the Kansai carbon kevlar and carbon covers are a nice bit of kit i run the plain carbon ones on my engine and the carbon kevlar ones are on mattys engine I am sure that they would be extremely strong but I couldn't bring myself to give it the kind of strength test you mention. I got mine for a good price though at tokyo auto salon a few years ago as HKS Kansai had them on special on their stand.

Like you said it is getting there now just got to go thru the set up stage and actually learn how to drive it lol.

Just a few new pics of some other quite sexy carbon that was delivered to me today just waiting on the ATS pull to push conversion it to turn up now and let the real fun begin.

Nice Dazmo!

If you need to use a hoist and a pair of hands let me know mate.

I reckon we can change the box and the shaft in one morning

For a person that live at the base of a hill with some of the nicest roads in Australia, I doubt that you will have much problem with taking corners mate.

Any specs on the shaft? Can't quite read the sticker but I'm assuming that it's not a ACPT/Trust shaft.

How much does it weigh???

Very nice indeed...

After what happened with the ACPT group buy!? No freakin way! Heres a hint, they run these shafts on the TITAN motorsports car. Thanks to Darren, he organised a group buy for a number of qld residents. He sent me a text tonight and it went something like this...... Hey buddy...... ive got a pressie for you...... its black.... long..... and hard....... and it will make your eyes water and nose bleed. I was too afraid to text him back!

OK, so any specs?

Where are they made?

Cost??

LOL at Daz's SMS....

[dazmo]

Hey guys i forgot to post specs of the shaft oops . The shafts are from precision shaft technolgy as bomberman was saying after the last fiasco with the acpt group buy i did not want to go down that road. They weigh in at 7kg are rated to 1200nm (1000ft/lb) of torque so should be well and truly up to the job the finnish is excellent so am keen to get it in the car to see the difference in response. I am currently in discussion with them about a distribution deal and can organize them for anyone interested the price in aud will obviously vary with the exchange rate but they work out to $1500 usd shipped to australia + gst and duty so are very reasonably priced for a top quality product turn around time is around 3-4 weeks from order date to delivery in aus so the service is great as well. This price is for individual shafts so may be able to get a slightly better price for a large order but bear in mind that these are already $200 usd cheaper than the list price for acpt shafts so there may not be as much room for them to discount them to much. Just to give you an idea i organized to purchase 6 of these shafts and the cost was $1450.00 usd shipped + gst and duty so i assume that it would have to be a pretty large order to get much more of a discount. If anyone is interested in getting one just shoot me a pm and i will be happy to help you out. Daz

Come on, that could have meant a number of things

lol, yes when they take gear to TAS, it's always a good idea to go past the stand on the sunday afternoon. they don't like taking shit back and will happily sell at a nice discount. good score. I regret not buying a set of each that first year they introduced them.

the best thing about those covers is being dry carbon they shouldn't fade, warp or discolour the way the knock offs do. all the knock offs I've seen are NOT dry carbon. the only other really cool ones are the Super GT dry carbon kevlar covers. they make a 26 look positively short!

I am still kicking myself that I didn't buy one of those sets Turtle Man offered us, they were stupid cheap

hey daz, only just saw this thread, congrats on getting the car all sorted and making great power! hope to see you out at the track soon!

I have no doubt that the guys that do Mark and Russ's cars do a great job but i have the wrong brand of ecu for them and it is my personal opinion that they are in need of some serious attitude adjustment.

couldn't agree more with that.. their sales would go up 200% if they had some decent customer skills, helpful/friendly attitude.

[AtomicBomberMan]

THIS THING IS A MONSTER! He keeps telling me "it goes alright".....Im having a hard time understanding what he means by that....... all i know is i only want my car to run "alright"..................that'll do me, stuff "perfect" or "good"

hey daz man, I just had another quick view through the thread. I love it. can you tell me what is the current power output? and I'd to look at a dyno graph if you have on just to check out the curve. you happy with the 2530s? are they the HKS ones or garret equivalents? I'm torn. I've always been a big believer in the merits of the HKS only housings that they add to the generic garret turbos but some people seem to get better results from the cheaper garrets.

my set-up is actually fairly similar to yours in some ways with similar size fuel system but minus the 2.8 and dry sump sadly. makes me look like a tight bastard!! but mine is still a fast street/slow track. car.

[Angus Smart]

I've been flying the 34 getrag since may 06 in my R32.. 500whp or there abouts..

and can report 0 problems, and can also report that the car has also been off the road for about 1.5 years now too.. haha

i did a bit of research and came up finding its the same as the supra also.. and they cop 1000hp right? i found a place in the states that does uprated synchros for it.. contact tyndago or whatever his name is on the uk forums hes an american using one in his track car with uprated synchros no problems form him either.

i was lucky (maybe) to get the nismo imput shaft, but was looking at doing the synchro upgrade too if things were to get bad.. apparently its the synchro thats the weak point

Thanks for the comments guys.

Richard my car is running the genuine HKS 2530's wich i belive are better than the garret's but they would need to be to justify the cost of them but I have fitted a set of Garret 2860-5's to matty car wich are a great turbo for the price and can be had really cheap if you soarce them from the right place. I am sure with your contacts you could get a set of HKS turbos for the right price and if you can I would highly reccomend them.

I dont have another dyno sheet or current power level as the rest of the tuneing has so far been done on the road to give more real world conditions I will probably get it back on the dyno at some stage but to be honest am not to concerned with getting a sheet with a no on it and am more iterested in the seat of the pants feel of how the care actually drives I have left the boost pretty much where it was just a very small increase up to 23psi fitted the EBC and trimmed the maps up so i would estimate that it is making a little over 600AWHP at 8500rpm will check and fine tune it some more at it first track session .

For the moment that will be plenty of power considering the handycap that the car has. Namely the driver .

Angus that is comforting to hear as i did a lot of reasearch before taking the path with the gearbox and didnt expect that I would have dramas but it is good to having that confirmed by someone that has experiance. I am currently in the process of fitting the gearbox at the moment and will have it finnished off tommorow so will be good to have a drive with it installed.

I must say a big to 9KRPM for the use of his hoist as this has made the job a lot more bareable than attempting the conversion on the floor at home. I owe you some shed time buddy

[Angus Smart]

i had a bit of a dig thru the old pc's emails and found this.

33369-0W010 RING, SYNCHRONI 0 38.73 you need 2, 5TH AND 6TH

33382-0W011 RING, SYNCHRONI 0 62.85 you need 4, 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH* OUTER

33387-0W020 RING, REVERSE S 0 71.02 you need 1, REVERSE

33373-0W010 RING, SYNCHRONI 0 31.47 you need 2, 3RD AND 4TH* INNER

33376-0W010 RING, SYNCHRONI 0 56.76 you need 4, 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH* MIDDLE

33372-0W010 RING, SYNCHRONI 0 31.47 you need 2, 1ST 2ND* INNER

they are all either trd or toyota i think.

[dazmo]

Thanks for that mate I will file those no's away for future reference.

[dazmo]

I will be taking the car out for its first track day (shakedown) this wednesday at mountain runners Time attack day will be out there for the afternoon session and will also have one of the other cars that I have built 26R32 out there. Should be a good day. This track day is fully booked with some pretty serious cars heading out. I am really looking forward to getting out there and for a few laps after all the work to get the car to this stage. So anyone that can make there way out there for a look I would say it should be well worth the effort. And anyone that has been following my build thread come and say hi.

[want_33]

dont forget pics from the day

[GTRHOLIC]

awesome! cant wait to see it. Would love to see your dry sump system. Any updates on your system development for us commoners?
