Hey guys,

My name is David, just thought I'd introduce myself and my car.

Have always had a love for R-chassis vehicles, I had previously owned a a fairly stock R32 GTST M spec

I had a few other run arounds afterwards that aren't really worth mentioning until I finally came to my senses and purchased my R33 GTR in August 2012, which I still have to this day.

The car was fairly stock with just a few bolt ons, like splitfire coil packs, 3" exhaust and twin turbos that were suspected to have been rebuilt at some stage. The plan was to keep it in this state however that didn't last long.
Shortly after purchasing the car I bought a set of 18x10" work xd9 wheels.

Then purchased a set of Tein super street coilovers from a member on this forum.

Although I wasn't overly satisfied with the car, I'm a very picky person and soon enough the bug for more power had come and something had to be done about it, so out came the motor..

At this point the engine bay was looking less desirable than before.
So while the engine bay was getting a make over, I had Sam from SMD Workshop start to build up an RB26/30 with some goodies..

Any power results yet mate? Loving the whale, keep up the good work

The car made 392rwkw at 21psi two nights ago on the dyno with only the one Walbro in tank pump which is holding it back. I would say it is capable of making more power once i f**k off the walbro pump and do a proper fuel system with two pumps, surge tank etc

Looks good, well done!

Whose decision was it (and for what purpose) to ditch the ITB's in favour of the single TB or was your car already like that? Can't tell from the original piccies.

Thanks!

Was my mechanic's decision to do the single TB, he modified the factory plenum to fit the single TB onto it.

Looking pretty good Dave. I had an rb29 stroker in my R33 Gtr but it cracked my block so building the 26/30 now.

Did you have any trouble fitting the 26/30 into the R33 mate? As the rb30 has a higher deck.

Depends on the plenum, standard plenum or GReddy ones would be fine. Ive got a Plazmaman and it sits too high in the engine bay. Its a R33 GTST though

Cheers mate, I didn't have any issues fitting the 26/30 into the engine bay off my 33, however if it was going into a 32 then you would run into some clearance issues.

Nice clean ride. Big power, what are you aiming for with the new fuel setup?

Plans for any track days?

Had a few dilemmas with the fuel setup after finishing the motor. Have recently fitted twin Bosch 044 pumps with surge tank and have not had any issues since. Ended up re-tuning it and made more power than the first dyno run ;)

I've entered for Powercruise Sydney, which will be the first event i will be taking the car to with the new motor setup

Hey guys, its been awhile since I posted up here...

So since I've had the car on the road after building the RB26/30, I've been having a few teething issues with my drive line..

Entered the car at Powercruise earlier during the year to only last one session during the Off street drags, had fried my O.S Geiken clutch.

After replacing the clutch, raced the car for very first time at Eastern Creek in April. Best time was a 11.4 (132mph) however had issues with the 4wd ATTESA system, car was only running in 2wd and so I couldn't get the power to the ground effectively.. needless to say I was running on just normal Yokohama street tread which wasn't helping with traction either.

Also had my car featured in a magazine, although I haven't been advised yet when its expected to come out.

Since the car isn't daily driven it has been left on the side for some time but I'm hopeing to rectify my little teething issues and to get it back on the road again soon..

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
