So you'd take a drag car built to go in a straight line out to drift it or track race it? If so then your crazy

I took my circuit built R33 to a skid pan, and I quickly realised I needed a smaller turbo so I bought a new smaller turbo lol

Sydney roads are absolutely horrible for driving.

However Newcastle on the other hand is awesome for driving...plenty of epic roads for a blast.

R33 GTRs still rock, though, right? lol

Now here's something I can get on board HATING!! it seems every wanker in Sydney has their DSG farts modified to be louder? (not really sure nor care how that works)

Watch out for Kangaroos! I've hit 3 driving Hunter Valley roads, but yes they are very nice for driving.

This one had a built turbo. Any other questions?

what a useless video.. no engine shot, no tech details...all turbos are built one way or another lol... please elaborate... but seriously... post this in the TRD Camry thread, as a testament to TRD being more than just a trim level. mind you as "concept" it's really not even worth discussing until it's actually produced.

Ha ha ha...I was joking...TRD or or not...my wife drives this to pick up our kids...it's like a good looking boat.

Yes, they delete their resonators and retard heaps of timing on gear shifts to increase the farts... however they are there for a reason, to cut torque between gear shifts so the box doesn't go bang. The farts are a byproduct of timing retard between gear changes

I think most people are spooked by GT-R's because the natural reaction is to lift-off when the tail kicks.

Keep that throttle on lads, and enjoy HICAS :)

Yeah you can work with it, sort of. If it starts malfunctioning, good luck. Functioning HICAS is fine for the road, but on the track it's annoying.

Anyone claiming that HICAS only improves their car control on a (let's assume fast country or hills) drive is not driving hard enough to understand the point.  Those (above) who have backed me up and described how HICAS is frightening when you are really, really up it can do so because they have experienced it.

Bakemono.....when you say "and enjoy HICAS", you really mean "enjoy ATESSA".  Using the GTR's RWD biased AWD  to conquer oversteer is not the same as having HICAS wiggle the rear wheels around because it's got no idea what it is doing.

Skylines (GT-R, GTS-5t, GTS-4) that have ended their lives in trees or poles or armcos or walls generally have HICAS.

The system is too slow to react and instead of aiding, it actually degrades handling.

I've had the delete kit for ages, just too lazy to get under and do it.

lazy bastard lol.. the lock bar is a piece of piss.. the full eliminiator kit takes a bit of time, but worth it..  I wrote a guide too

here it is for anyone interesting in deleting the bullshit Nissan put in:

Well the rise in R32 price was arguably due to the US demand, so it would be fairly safe to say if they're interested in them, the same rise will occur, unless, and I've heard some people doing this with R34's too, they're buying them already and storing them until they can be legally imported, smoothing the demand rather than a big influx.

here you go... 19,000 USD for an R33 GTS-T...

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
