My car is setup for

17/45/245

Have Hancooks on at the moment road noise is shocking

Looking at New Bridgstone Potenza

Urgh the road noise I have is horrible!!! Stupid P plate bogans putting some crap called 'Triangle' tyres on a new car >.< Literally you need to raise your voice while you're driving.

Need to do more burn outs and chuck some Michelins on them!

I have my setup sorted out at the moment.

Stock turbo's I have atm kick in at 3300

-5 will kick in at approx 3600-3800

Adding more low end punch with adjustable cam gears and getting it tuned for a bit more pick up in the lower end range.

Rest is good for what I want which is 300kw at the moment. But have the parts there if I want to chase more later.

My car setup is more for Tarmac rally than track I don't want punch from a stand still I want a powerful mid band to rev out to redline, the way I drive the spur with what I have I am sitting at 4000rpm through the spur keeping power up as the car only has 180kw currently and I can keep up with you guys as it is :yes:

As my driving style is to sit in the mid range having the -5 spooling or near ready as I come onto power out of corner increases corner exit speed and provides a lovely 4 wheel power slide/drift.

And yes all handling aspects and braking have already been done and bedded in before adding power to get the car setup right from day one.

The guys at RE haven't steered me wrong yet and the car has been getting better and better as we work through legacy age part replacement, and upgrades where required. My car will look like nothing has changed when they have finished. :D

No Tarmac rally GTR owner is running 370rwkw+ mate. :)

-5s don't kick in @ 3600-3800 either. Yes they start making boost/power there but in reality they don't come on until after 4,000 and it's very noticeable if you've had -9s beforehand as i have.

Don't forget you are seeing a loaded up dyno run, in 4th gear - then ye they come on @ 3,800rpm. I'll check tonight if i get a chance but I think 3rd is around 4200-4400 and even 3rd is 150km/h.

Just because you are sitting @ 4,000rpm doesn't mean you'll instantly be on boost either.

Smaller turbos will come back on boost sooner @ any given RPM. That's just physics.

Each to their own. If i had my day again I'd go back to -9s for street/circuit/tarmac. The extra lag simply isn't worth the power.

On a side note - What ill do if you want is get my car and a mates out, and you can sit in the passenger seat if you want and see for yourself?

Most of my mates with GTR's have -9s on at the moment, so wouldnt be too hard to find someone

Haha...

Kinda tempted to rape my credit card for pair of these on my new replacment.

Yep 302.8rwkw @ 18.6 psi, which is very nice for street compared to -5s.

    • 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
