so... anyone else here actually driven a NUR and a 33 GTS-t?

A NUR can punch out 300 without opening the engine or changing the turbos, a 33, for reliabilites sake, pretty much needs both. And cause someone will bring it up just to be a dick (Birds), I would suggest an oil cooler at least on the NUR... the injectors will be damn close to maxing too...

You'd be hard pressed finding a situation where the GTS-t beats the nur if they had the same power.

add 30k to it though and thats a different scenario. Really depends where you spend the money.

Quoted for truth!

I had driven one a few times (the same car).

Stock N1 Engine / N1 Turbo's (factory boost of 1.2 Bar = 17.4 PSi) / FMIC / Air Intake.

All was done was an APex'i Power FC / Full Turbo Back Exhaust and had adjustable Cam Gears.

Could have done without the Cam Gears, but was done when tuning.

306 kW's at the rear wheels, dyno'd at RE Customs.

lets stop this topic and turn it into a fail thread..... being led by the guy in this video

hell, as the owner of a R34 GTT I weighed up the options of going hiflow, getting everything done to the max, shooting for 270-300RWKW and when I did the calculations and cost I've realised the best way to get this done and be happy about it in the future is to buy a nice R33 GTR :whistling:

33 with 30k spent on it will blow the pants off a stock gtr, even a nur, in every way except for traction off the line. a 33 with 10k spent on it will beat a stock gtr.

ive ran an r33 gtr with an exhaust upgrade and beat it with just a cooler and an exhaust and arc air box.

so i dont quite see how spending 30k on a pos r33 will be intelligent besides 40k and u could have an r34 gtr or evo 8/9

there would be plenty of 33's getting round with that sort of money spent on them. hell there are probably 32's with that sort of money spent on them. it might not have happened all in 1 hit, but over time it adds up.

start with a dead stock car.

new wheels: lets say 2k

exhaust (decent brand): 1500

cooler (again, decent): 1k

so there's 4.5k on very basic mods

then lets say he blows a motor, or decides he wants more power and wants a built motor to take it

ecu + tune: 2 to 3k

injectors: 1k (rounded up a bit there)

turbo: i dunno, lets say 3k with all water and oil fittings and manifold

engine rebuild: honestly don't know, but i'd guess about 6k including everything

clutch: 500

diff: 2k

so there's 19k. then if he decides to give the car a respray, new bodykit and put in some racing seats or retrim everything, it wouldn't take much to eat up the other 11k.

sure he could've bought something else for that money, but this will more than like blow the doors off it, and what if he doesn't like the shape of the 34 or the evos. everyone has their own taste in cars.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
