It's about time I started this....

I started off with a 98 gtt triptronic auto RWD had the full nismo factory options (except sunroof and the dark tint laser cut glass), had the R33 Tommy Kaira special 17" three piece signature rims on it when I brought it (now for sale as they don't sit right with the wide body mods).

I'm the first owner in Australia and had the car for several years now, started off with a couple of basic upgrades, FMIC, pod filter, radiator and sound system with boot mounted battery.

Then I started on the body. Bommex body kit - bumpers side skirts and gtr bonnet (not complex but was a bit of a pain to mod to fit right) and got the tear drop shape flush mount bonnet clamps (lockable). Disconnected the centre catch but kept the safety catch and now have the sub controller mounted where the bonnet release was under the dash. After market extra wide GTR Z tune glass fenders (wider than GTR factory fenders) that I have moded to allow for the lambo doors (scissor doors).

Found my rear over guards last year and also got lambo door hinges (not happy with the hinges so am going to stregthen them then reinstall them so they sit right). Also last year I got the V Spec front end subframe ect (Thanks Godsmind for your pics ect and for the front end gear). Got other parts from various sources (including on here, ebay and through Import monster). Still running the RB25DET with front outer cv's blocked off. Got the new crush tubes made by a mate who is a steel fabricator (Thanks Mineham sheet metal), also going to get him to make my fuel cell to be mounted where the spare tyre used to go once I have my TPMS and new exhaust on (some time in the next few weeks). Also have an after market sunroof coming which will also be a solar panel (another mate will make a solar panel the same to suit as a replacement to the glass) which will then assist with power to the battery for the security tracking and monitoring systems presently being upgrade (sorry not providing details).

Now running Buddy Club 19's (could still be a little wider to better fill the guards and still thinking about going to 20's +) with better offsets than the Tommy Kaira's. Need to find/make Gandor mirrors with indicator in (so I can remove indicator from the guards) & LED tail lights (including indicator) have seen some dodgy ones that don't include indicator and not bright enough for day time use.

Have posted a few pics for now will post more later

    • I've got a spare standard box sitting in the garage  I know it will come one day though, but it's driven pretty tamely on the four times a year it gets out... 
    • Big question… have you decided on a gearbox? Because it’s going to come… and a gearset ain’t going to do the job.    save your pennies 🤪
    • it was good to see our presence at GTR festival..hope to see more SAU at these events 
    • This is awesome.     
    • Thanks for the quick replies guys its appreciated. A small extension was welded onto the standard 6boost external gate pipe which you can see where the pipe goes from black to stainless just below and to the right of the rear housing in the first picture. Overall I would say the flow is pretty good other than 6boosts choice to come straight off the collector at a decent angle.. Not sure why I went with two valves, I originally replaced the stock twin bovs with the GFB when I had the twins on. When I purchased the EFR it came with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV so I figured that would be a better option than the stock EFR Bov. I don't believe the Turbosmart BOV is adjustable? When I get the spike and then sudden dip in boost pressure, the turbo speed does drop as well. Stock head size wise however I believe it has Neo Turbo springs and a Neo Turbo intake camshaft and an aftermarket exhaust camshaft in the vicinity of 260 degrees. We didn't try a different MAC valve, we tried two different ways of plumbing it and we also tried removing the mac valve entirely and just having the boost source from the turbo directly connected to the wastegate and it still spiked / dropped and exhibited the same behaviour. Standard R33 GTR 5 speed tansmission. I'm running a Haltech Elite 2500 and can provide some logs if you. I understand what you're saying in that it looks like an auto plot however no, it's still a manual and it just has a lot of torque down low, for all intents and purposes it's a very impressive street car. I've attached a photo of the quickbitz dyno plot which was when the only difference is I was running -5 twin turbos with a mac valve. As you can see theres a decent dip in AFRs between 125kmh and 135kmh. Our problem now is not that the AFRs are dropping, just the boost pressure is dropping, however it is evident in the same RPM range of the map, coincidentally or not.
