Hey guys I've got a mildly modified r33 gtst it's making 307rwkw but the coil packs were maxed out. The guys at addicted motorsports said it's screaming for more power as the 35/40 is just coming into it's range!

My 1st question is what coil packs should I be goin for? The block was built for a safe 600hp by pavtech so I would like the car to sit on/around the 350rwkw mark.

My 2nd question is the head is still running the standard cams and cam gears so I'd like to change them out to!

What cams should I be looking at? Id like to help out the bottom an mid range torque!

Cheers

Coilpacks maxing out? There are alot of guys running alot more power with standard coils. Maybe there broken causing a missfire but definately not maxed out and with cams something like the tomei poncams will be a straight drop in and will give you some nice midrange increase.

Look I'm unsure myself I've only just brought the car recently an I can only go by what the previous owner said when he had it tuned.. Would yellow jackets do the job for me? I don't no much about it to be honest:/

I've noticed alot of people use the poncams so they must be good! Do they require adjustable cam gears as you said there a direct fit?

Also does any one no the cost for labour to fit them?

Cheers

You can use the yellow jackets allthough there not as reliable as say a new set of stock ones or spitfires. I use spitfires and highly recomend them top product. If your going to be still using vct which I assume you would be there is no need for an intake cam gear and as for exhuast you can put one on but you wont usually see any gains from mucking around with it. With my setup I have poncams and a adj exhuast cam gear with same power as you 310kw and I gained alot of midrange few kws up top and abit of response but my tuner said there was no more gains left to be made with playing around with the exhuast gear so it was left in standard postion.

      Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.

      Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).

      Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?

      You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
