Getting

-5's Garret

Tomie Dumps

Blitz front pipe connected to existing 3inch Nismo CAT

Custom Exhaust Back 3inch to twin pipe tip

Boost contoller

Adjustable Cam gears

Get 3.5" exhaust from the cat.

Your looking at about 350-370 rwkw from what I have read - depending on boost / tune etc.

Some people get cams, not necessary but may be something to think of when doing it all at once.

Happy with 300 at the moment. Got to get used to it :thumbsup:

When engine needs rebuild then re-tune for 400 with fuel pump etc.

You will get use to it very quickly, thats whats funny about GTRs because of the 4 wheel drive it will grip and just go, whereas if you have 300rwkw on a RWD car on street tyres and go to say 400rwkw.. it wont feel that much quicker simply just spin the wheels more than it did before :P

Be careful though, moreso in the wet - GTRs can still get VERY sideways.

Do the 33 Moh...much more reliable and an all round better built car. When you drive both side by side you'll see that. It's like when I drove a 34 after driving my 33...the difference in build is quite noticeable. Newer cars are almost always better in terms of an overall package.

As for looks...well yeah that's totally subjective, but there's a reason R33 are so common...whether the R32 fanbois like to admit it or not, they are received as a good looking car. I get the feeling a lot of people hate them purely because they are so common.

The R32 may LOOK better to some, as this is very subjective but no denying the R33 is the better car. And the 32 Interior is aids duno anyone who prefers it over R33 interior.

Excited to get my car back tonight after tune (status).. base dyno run was 238rwkw so only 5 off the racepace dyno so pretty much spot on when you take into account temp / baro preasure etc. I'll be happy to see anything over 260rwkw anything over would be a bonus for me, hopefully a lot more power early in the rev range as well.

only 32grts look better.

only 32grts look better.

I WAS going to get a 32 GTR.. but realized whats the point for the same price you can get a car up to 9 years newer and like I said the interior is AIDS! Very hard to find a clean 32 these days as well.

Too laggy for a street car.

They are utterly useless below 150km/h, -9s are faster to 150 - I can promise you that.

You also notice the lag in/out of gears massively.

Its now a case of pushing really hard up through Kinglake etc as there is so much lag coming outta corners.

stock dumps will be ok as well.

i had stock R33 GTR dumps, made 340rwkw outta -9s on a full build.

spent $600 on tomei when i put on -5s... all that changed was the exhaust note.

power/result was the same as other -5 equipped cars with factory dumps.

need 3.5" exhaust @ a min though, and big front pipes

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
