Hi guys im new to this forum

Starting on this new project..and would like your thoughts/comments.

Not going too crazy with the mods:

R33 Gtst gearbox

S14a rear diff

HKS 28/35 TURBOS

upgraded fuel system etc..

custom fab for intercooler and piping

Car is at Advan, expect a 4-6 month build, will post photos of the build

would like some feedback about the Hypertune plenum also......

may have issues clearing clutch master... ooh and say goodbye to the nice chassis balance you had with the SR :D

You can use a gtr style radiator cooler and piping kit, no need for custom if your budget is stretched. Here are some pics of the old setup (T517Z, GTR radiator, cooler kit and piping kit unmodified). I will post up the latest pics 2moro with the K5 and greddy plenum (which fouls the clutch slave badly).

x2. Friend of mine has one with a monster turbo set up on it, he can barely make 1/2 throttle in 4th without it smoking the rears up.

Very cool, but IMHO very pointless if you cant enjoy that power.

Smoking 4th at 1/2 throttle could be a very enjoyable way to use the power..

4th gear wheel spin at half throttle??? this i need to see to believe

Ok i tell a tall tale slightly. It was on a damp racetrack :)

Every time he went passed i was waiting for full boost, gentle 2nd, gentle 3rd spool spool, 4th, spool spool smoke smoke sideways sideways, back off.

Put it into the kitty litter once and buried it up to the sills :)

Cant remember the exact specs, but it did have a reasonably large high mount. So im guessing the lag, and maybe sudden power doesnt help? Not sure.

It was very easy to keep up with him in my stock turbo R33. Most amazing thing to watch tho ever time he got on the power it just spun the wheels, made orgasmic noises and didnt get any further infront of me haha

I can believe it would turn tyres.

Mine would turn coming onto boost in 3rd with 370rwkw and that was just on the freeway, just as it ramped up - traction disappeared.

And my grip is quite good (280rwkw, never brakes traction at all unless im savage in 1st to 2nd gearchange)

So with 2835's you are looking at worse than what i was getting.

here are the pics with the larger plenum, rear of plenum fouls the clutch master and both require about 3mm worth of shaving (6mm total). I also slotted the engine mounts and carriers.

please bear in mind the car is dummied together for dynoing and is not complete and tidy.

This is the T51R SPL RB26 one that was at Taupo? Its not very sensible :) Yeah RWD with over 400rwkw without drag radials isn't a good idea, Ashleys 25t on normal road tyres had no traction in 1st, 2nd and 3rd and the increase in traction in 4th actually made it seem more dangerous than the lower gears. Something very unnerving about passing 160kph and the back end starting to wander!

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
    • And, given that you're in NC, go buy an LS7 or something equally sweet and piss that crappy old RB off. Or call up Wesley Kagan and get his help putting a Merc V12 into it.
    • Do a compression test, and a bore scope on the cylinder that lost parts of the plug. Chances are, that cylinder isn't so happy anymore...
