After reading this thread I had to ask my misses if she could get me a towel!!!!!!!

How does the car stop compared to the factory brakes?

its like comparing day and night, theres so much difference. it feels like it can stop on a dime. i didnt realise how shit the standard ones were until now.

:yes:

As you said you cruised it, and it's a turbo car, you really should be able to get better then standard fuel economy. While cruising it, you're making the motor make the same power as a stocker cruised... This should use the same fuel as a stocker. I'd be having serious talks with the tuner. If you cruise it too much I see washed bores occurring...

Mate your never going to get 500 or so kms out of a tuned GTR i dont care how you drive it. My old car would be lucky to get 300 odd kms around town.

btw nice car mate sounds tuff!

I don't see why not, at cruise load you would be lucky to be making 100hp, probably closer to 80 or 90hp. Shouldn't be using a lot of fuel unless you put your boot into it.

But I digress, Anthony did say his definition of cruising involved boosting it hard, which is what this car does best :D As if anyone could just putt around in a 950hp 2.8L GTR :P

Who cares what mileage you get.. If you can afford to produce a car like that and exclusively run it on E85 then I am pretty sure you wouldn't care how bad the fuel economy is.

You can't expect to maintain a very healthy fuel consumption rate if you drastically increase your performance levels thats pretty much a given.

Shift light in the cluster looks mint, very nicely integrated

Does on the highway count?

Yeah highway counts. I was making 310rwkw out of my R33 and dont think I ever saw 500km to a tank. I used to think they were good when kept off boost and just cruised around but this was short lived when the car came from the workshop. You might say I had a bad tune, but Ill tell you that 3 different, well respected tuners have tuned the car on different occasions.

p.s i think we are getting a little off topic, Loving this build up, keep the pics/vids coming!

was there a reason why u didnt just replace your standard dash with the haltech unit?

cant imagine it would be easy to look at when this beast gets going (veiw for the passenger will be good tho)

very very neat job anyway

keep the updates coming

the reason it isn't mounted where the original cluster is because i wouldnt have turn indicator lights, fuel guage and a few other things. plus it would stand out too much to the police at night. the main reason i'm using the unit is to view the ethanol content in the fuel and monitor a few other things while the car is staitionary. but it does give the passenger something to look at while we are on the move.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
