Dunno why I didn't get this done first time around. Been old and scratched since I got it. Fiddly and lot of prep, covering everything but worth it. Satin Black. Drivers side, section done. Passenger

Been a bit quiet on the car front but first lot of parts have arrived.

Garrett GT2859R-9's (HKS GT-SS's)

HKS Actuators and all gaskets and parts needed for install

P1050552_zpsda3b7bb3.jpg

Splitfire Coilpacks. No use building a new engine and using the ancient OEM ones.

Nice new OEM Coilpack Harness

Nismo 600cc Injectors (the other 4 are in a box in storage atm)

P1050554_zps3b256f38.jpg

OK, first lot done. After speaking to Chris @Racepace with all the parts here (and the rest coming in the next delivery), I should get around 330rwkw on a safe tune. July can't come quick enough.

Just found this build and read through it, fantastic story mate, great to see some long-time owners (fewer and fewer these days)

Only on SAU are there quality R-chassis bulids such as your one, really enjoyed the pictorial updates all the best mate, should be in good hands with Racepace looking after your beast

-9s are nice. Been thinking about getting some instead of the -5s as there response are better.

HKS actuators - need to be properly dialed in to ensure waste gate pressure is accurate on each turbo charger (the japanese instructions are not much help, but I have photos of this for mine).

Nismo injectors are really nice - just a shame they do not come in bigger sizes (600cc is there biggest)

Splitfire coils are really worth it - I remember putting on mine a while back (when the car was running) and instantly noticed more grunt and much better fuel economy.

Going to be keen to see more updates :thumbsup:

Thanks guys :)

I decided on the -9's as these turbos are as big as I'd want to go with 2.6L. This way I get decent power with response and a car that's capable of road, motorkhana, twisties and the track. (with minimal lag)

Racepace mentioned that they will be modifying the actuators and turbo's slightly. No other info as it's all their IP I guess.

I will be using 98RON so 600cc should be good for around 350rwkw with this setup but yeah would nice if Nismo made something larger.

The 330rwkw Racepace said the setup should do is at 20psi. Not really worried about how long a set of turbos will last as -9's are only $1200ea.

Some supporting mods are still to come that will be able to get the car tuned to the maximum of what these turbos can do and a whole lot more. Whatever Chris @Racepace recommended that makes more power on this setup and easier to tune has been ordered :)

And finally.....

After considering an N1 with upgraded gears, Jun & Nitto Pumps,I decided to go with the Tomei Oil Pump

Annoyingly the parentals want to do some work on their garage so the car will have to be moved to another location till the rebuild, come July.
Thank god for mates with large sheds!

Ohhhhh I just love new performance parts.

Very nice.

Love the Tomei oil pump.

You do realize that you need an oversized sump to match the Tomie oil pump?

New parts are fun eh?

The ultimate would need to be your Tomei engine though. That thing is all sorts of win!

Yes, getting a Racepace 8L (or might be 9L?) sump when it goes in for the rebuild :)

Good, that is peace of mind and reassurance IMHO.

Keep it up man.

Now.... Back to my scotch :P

Nice looking build, curious as to why Racepace recommended those Tomei dumps though, given they are smaller than the older generation Tomei dumps, and larger and cheaper options are available ie HPI

Was wondering this too

You will love the -9s :)

Might be reaching the higher end of the Nismo 600s, when I had them in my car on 330awkw with -9s injector duty cycle was reaching 87-91%

Now running ID1000s at 55% duty cycle and 350awkw -9s

I can't remember the exact conversation however they did mention that Tomei are one of the bigger dump pipes out there. I also got them cheaper than the HPI ones.

Can't see them being a restriction with -9's.

350awkw with -9's! Awesome. Is this with 98RON?

I figure the Nismo's will do fine for a while and I will just get them swapped out for ID's if I decide to go down the E85 road (when I make it a strict weekender again)

Yep that's on 98, will go E85 once it's more available near me

Looking forward to seeing how this build comes along. Looks great in black and good to see you are getting it back on the road after 7 years.. Cheers, Cale

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      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!

      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!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      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.
