Oh also what was your rim and tyre size?

If anyone is interested this is how I convert, I'll assume the nismo is 4.4

KM/H x (1000/60)

This gives your speed in meters per minute.

pi x Diameter (in metres)

This will give you the cirucumference of your wheel in metres.

Speed / Circumference

This gives how many rpm of wheel per minute.

Then divide by diff ratio if in 4th.

Would 18s make it better or worse? Sorry full noob at this shit

I just re did it with 240x40x18 and it is 3955 vs 4010rpm for 110kph

Use these websites

http://www.rkm.com.au/calculators/calculator-circle-sphere.html

another calc

RPM = (diff ratio * (mph * 88)) / (tire circumfrance in inches / 12) * transmission 4th ratio

Just measured on my boost controller and powerfc rpm. Got 3410rpm and 3439rpm hitting 18psi in 4th. Dunno how accurate that is tho lol

Pretty damn accurate I'd say as it is using the CAS and it is low rpm (at high rpm the CAS signal can get inccurate in some cars).

Could you try 2nd gear just out of curiosity? as that is what I think most people are interested in.

Yea I'll give it a squirt tomorrow night haha

If its making that much boost in fourth its not really going to be a whole lot different in second. If anything it wont make full boost as the motor wont have the same ammount of load on it. Its always harder to get full boost in the lower gears.

I would be pretty happy with that sort of response. I know the T78 on our car makes full boost (22-23psi) by about 4500rpm and i built an R32 GTR a few years back that made about 5 psi of boost with a T78 at 2500rpm, full boost (again 22-23psi) by no later than 4000rpm. It was a pretty insane GTR to be honest and a bit of a freak engine.

    • 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.
