My R33 Gtr

[marksuxass]

wont look like this for long

nipples for map sensors installed

tried to get them as flush as possible

Got some piping made up, just need to buy some pod filters and the intake side of things is done

thats all ive got done so far, waiting on nissan to deliver my gaskets and injector o-rings

Was just wondering where you got your MAFless induction pipes from? Very nice build up so far too. Im doing a major overhaul/restore on my gtr too, will start a build thread soon

[snozzle]

Hey mate,

those pipes were just some spares i had lieing around (ive wrecked a few performance cars and few odd bits and bobs that i couldnt sell have found a new home at my workshop lol)

i had to cut them shorter and weld on a quarter inch reduction on the turbo side so the rubber piping fits onto them. The rest of the piping is 3" which is what most pod filters are anyway.

Mate, great work on the build up, really enjoyed reading it all. How's the car drive now with the new tune?

[SiR_RB]

similar mods to me except im running a nistune ecu...hoping for almost the same power output once cam gears are tuned

car looks mint dude congrats

[snozzle]

Thanks guys.

Adz the car drives much better, smoother and the throttle response has improved with the map sensors.

[syfon]

Hey mate, car looks absolutely fantastic.

[NA_Goodness]

Car's shaping up well, mate! Where abouts is that carpark? I'd love to do a shoot there, that roof looks interesting...

[snozzle]

Thanks man, Car park is at Karrinyup shopping center

[NA_Goodness]

Cheers, nice and close!

[snozzle]

Yeah i live just down the street lol

[mattlikewhoa]

Very nice choice on the rims my man!

[DVS JEZ]

Car looks awesome.

Why did u go all out and go djetro? U could have made the same power with ur old ecu?

[snozzle]

Well AFMs shit me and the fact that the driveability of the car is now better is a justified reason on its own now but i was planning on doing a big single conversion however i cant afford to do that atm. Ive got half of it done now, just a matter of time before i get enough money to go for a big single and get a re-tune.

The boost control is alot better now btw. It spikes quite hard to 1.5bar on a cold night in 2nd gear but in 4th is stabilises around 1.35bar. On the dyno was reading 1.30bar and 1.20bar at redline though but its still running on the rich side. Great tune, has never knocked once, on startup i get like 100 knock but i think thats from the starter motor but generally my knock while the car is running never goes over 27.

My old ecu used to get some false knock during driving, i think its because it was old maybe?

[J - Rad]

Did you buy a brand new D-Jetro with the new H/C? With the price people want the normal PFC with H/C for these days its easier just to pay the extra few hundred and get a brand new one!

[snozzle]

Well i bought the dejetro off a mate for 1k with sensors and hand controller and it was a very new model. My old power fc i sold for 800 bucks and it was an older model.

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

all i can say it well done and i very much enjoyed reading this thread, its easily got some of the sexiest+toughest midnight 33R's ive seen thus far. im very jealous having to stick with my gts-t due to my pathetic excuse of an apprentice income.

im in the same boat buddy

[UWISSH!]

Your car knocks to 27??

Mine has never gone over 14 and that's only ever on full throttle runs

[snozzle]

Nothing wrong with a knock level of 27. Anything over 40 will get me worried but on a cold night it never goes over 20 no matter how hard im driving it and im very happy with that.

Theres a possibility that your low knock level is due to a too conservative tune? (if that makes any sense) Room for more power maybe?

How much power are you making and on what boost?
