My R33 Gtr

After all this hard work i'd hate to see it go up in smoke. An aluminum radiator would be a nice addition.

looking good snozz

[snozzle]

Thanks eric.

Not sure why you think my current radiator is going to blow up? I even got it pressure tested it yesterday and they said its perfect.

I have never had over heating issues either even with that fat 100mm intercooler in the way!

[Gouch12345]

I don't think it will blow up - It's just every track day I got to, I see atleast one or two radiators (non aluminum) give out. More of a safe guard than anything to protect your efforts. Like I said earlier the car is great props.

well she got tuned today and made 398.3hp at all 4 hubs! very happy with it, especially since it was such a hot day today, the midrange has improved alot and the off boost driving is much smoother now, doesnt feel lazy under 3000rpm anymore!

Max torque is now 1000rpm later in the rev range and has increased to 480nm which is what i was aiming for. Max power is slightly shifted later aswell but only by a few hundred rpm. A pair of poncams would help but im going to stick with the stock cams till i have the dosh to get some angry cams in there, most probably when the motor decides to call it a day.

Adjusting the intake cam gear both ways didnt seem to help, it seemed to like it most at 0 but the exhaust got retarded by 2degrees and gained a tiny bit more up top.

Boost comes on at 1.3bar but bleeds down to 1.2bar where it makes max power.

Power vs torque

Power vs boost pressure

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.

[snozzle]

haha thanks mate, she sure does drive like a bullet now, love it!

Looking Good Snozzle. Keep your thread going as long as you can, because you most likely will continue with some mods, just like I have done & still going. It becomes a little addictive after a while.

You've put in some real effort into it.

I am running the Nismo AFM's with the stock airbox & snorkel & don't have any boost/spike problems.

I decided on the standard air box - mostly due to some of the cops here in Melbourne, VIC.

However I am interested in putting a ARC Box in, some time in the future. I think that should be fine, as Victorian Cops like to see boxes, rather than pods.

I got some carbon fibre parts (Front grill, N1 bonnet lip, N1 Front Bar Slots & Nismo Pillar Garnish) in the mail last week & also got my Tomei S/S Dumps.

Only have to get the Tomei Extreme Manifold Kit, Split Fire Coils & HKS Cam Gears now.

Once I have put everything on & have painted my engine covers, I will post some pics.

Cheers

Looks great mate. Have you considered a catch can? Might be a good idea if your thinking of doing any track work.

[snozzle]

Thanks man. Yeah i definitely want to run a catch can even if i dont really do any track work but i cant seem to find any good catch tanks that will still retain my windscreen washer bottle.

Ive seen one that looks MINT on another gtr but i cant remember whos it was, it was chrome and had GTR embossed on it which was also polished.

Do you know where i could get a decent catch can setup that will actually work ? Ive kind of left the catch can thing to last as i want to do it once but properly as alot of the setups dont seem to be very effective...

[pistol-pete]

Top secret make one, you can get em from rhdjapan. or just jap make one also

that one youre thinking of though would be a RIPS custom jobby http://www.ripsltd.com/products.html (scroll down to the bottom)

[snozzle]

That is definitely out of my budget haha

I got Rips in NZ to make mine up..Not cheap but I still earn Japanese yen and got it made up when the Oz & NZ dollars were worth pesos during the GFC.

[snozzle]

Yes! thats the exact one im after. Would these cost more than 500 bucks to get made up?

Im going to look into locally fabricating something like this, cheers Mark!

edit: sorry pete, i just realised u posted the link to the same thing already haha

Try metalcraft, or if your really fussy LF.

Err these through RIPS are not cheap.

Quality of workmanship is exceptional !!

Like I said I took advantage of exchange rates during the GFC so ended up getting it a good price.

Flick Rob an email for a price.

Hi,

We do them slightly different to that now as we use weld on fittings to take braided or push lock hoses and they have different mounting tags but they are basicly the same (see pictures)

Exactly as it is in the pictures I can do for nzd795 incl shipping, if you want the GTR logo and polish add225.

Regards Rob

I think a JJR one for $249 will do just fine lol

ive asked justjap for some more photos of the item, if it looks neat ill end up buying this but using higher quality hose/fittings etc

[Kaido_RR]

I think RIP quoted me upwards of $500 for the catch can last time i check, i know autoselect (i think it is) sell a similar design for around the 30,000yen mark.

Does the JJR have a baffle in it?
