The R33... it has completely dominated the Wangan Expressway  & Yatabe Speed Trials. It's funny how people forget it was the most popular car in the MID NIGHT CLUB!!!!!!!!!!! It's the proven top-end cannonball GT-R.....yes folks, "hold the f**k on".

With outdated technology by today's standards, in 1996 at Bonneville salt flats it was the two way average World speed record holder with 233.217 mph/ 375.32kmh (Previous record 219 mph), with its fastest pass at 383Km/h!!!!!!!!!! Compared to 313.32km/h in the R32 GTR!!!!!!!!!

Set a lap record at Nurburgring with bugger all power!!!!! Came 5th in GT1 class of Le Mans, and let's not forget it was ahead of plenty of Mclaren F1's.

That's just freakin nuts, especially when they were doomed with the restrictive twin turbo setup. Imagine if they were equipped with the legendary Borg Warner EFR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They would of come first mate and one day if I win the lotto I will build a complete full-house RB28 EFR build, and then enter into the 24 hours of Le Mans and spray champagne from the podium!!!!!

I shall leave the thread with a quote for those on the path to enlightenment.... "The R32 had excessive front lift.  At Fuji Speedway, taking the high speed 130R corner at speed was scary, according to Kaz Mizuno (later father of the R35 GT-R). So efforts were made in the R33 to minimize front lift - and in that regard, the longer front overhang worked in our favor."

Robocop, I'm definitely with you on that one mate.

f**k, we are definitely on the same page.

And the Nissan engineers would of thought..... let's make the 33 ass-end phatter, badder and sexier....akin to a beautiful voluptuous latina woman with curves in all the right places.

Mate, you're spot on again. 

Like I have said before, I like my cars like my women - sexy and curvy.

    • 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?
