hey guys

just wanna know everyones feedback who has one..

im getting one installed in 2 weeks in my r33 which only has fmic and c/b exhaust..

would be great if someone would take me for a ride to see what they are like.. prefferably with similar mods to mine to see power gain etc!!

cheers

I'm also saving for one of these on my 33. When I bought it it'd been stripped and so I'm not even sure what effective mods it has, but it's got some form of new exhaust that I've yet to work out, pod filter, running 9 pound, and I've put in a walbro 550hp fuel pump. Before the fuel pump it was running 216 hp =]

Could you tell us how is goes and possibly what it comes to on a dyno once it's in? Also how much are you paying man? And which Vi-Pec model does everybody use? (Sorry for all the questions, but I've been keen on one of these for quite a while =])

Also, does that sound like a reasonable power for that list to anybody? My friend's convinced that completely stock he's at 250hp... Complete and utter waffle, I think; since he's also the same guy who spun out on the saturday cruise in perth and was laughed at so much he went home.

After a tune you'll be looking at around 250rwhp. Though the addition of the fuel pump wouldn't have changed your power figure at all.

And your friend should have ~250 engine HP, but closer to 200rwhp if the car is stock.

Stock car should pull around 160rwkw-214rwhp

Tuned stock car 175-185rwkw 235-248rwhp @ 11psi

The dyno might say higher, but that's about all a stocker is good for.

Add inj & a pump then 200rwkw should be possible.

This is my car with just cat-back exhaust after I imported it.

Just a dyno run to check AFRs. Car was running lean, so they didn't even get to peak power.

I'd say 200rwhp for stock/modded is a bit low!

i imported mine almost a year ago.. and all i did was put cat back xzorst + fmic and plugs and my dyno readout was 238hp! at hyperdrive

is that 238rwhp or just hp??

so with my current power output + Vi-Pec ecu... you would think that the power would jump up to btwn 270-300???

remember the vipec has boost control too.. so it would be running 12psi

it would be really good to hear from someone with proof.. not just wat they reckon will happen!! coz everyone is just saying different figures.....

Ive got a Vi-Pec, FMIC, K&N, fuel pump, fuel reg, full exhaust, stage 1 running 7psi, stage 2 running 14psi

Dyno said 244rwhp when the ecu was first fitted but since ive had a timing belt and a re-tune recently it feels far better to me :blink: im not sure if that figure was before or after the front dump pipe was done either

Edited by Joe_89

it made 240hp.. which is what it made on another dyno before the vipec!

so someones dyno is messed up!!!??

but i am happy with it! definately a bit more of a kick back! :mad: i need to finish the xzorst to gain more power!! so thats next!!

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
