So yeah I ended up with this pretty decent R33. after swapping it for my BMW. Had it nearly a year now and naturally I am bored shitless so I want to waste time and money;


Here's the list of mods when I got it, since then the only mods I've done are bulk skids

Modifications are:

-Genuine Garrett 3071 Turbo with braided lines and aluminium intake pipe.
-Vi-Pec Engine Management System, tuned by ESP in Queanbeyan
-Front-mount Intercooler
-Upgraded 040 fuel pump
-Upgraded 700cc (approx) injectors
-Split-fire coil packs
-Heavy duty clutch
-Full X-Force exhaust system
-Biggest pod filter you have ever seenn
-Re-shimmed and serviced LSD Diff
-Whiteline swaybars front and rear with new knuckles
-DBA slotted brake rotors, braided lines and Project-Mu Pads

Tuned to 273 rwkw - I think 400 rwkw sounds more appropriate. 

Some options I have though about;
1- put rb26 running gear in it make it 4wd and boost it some more
2- punish the Rb25 so hard it pops, then repeat that several times at maximum power
3- be cool and put a LS1 in it and twin turbo that
4- sell it and get a GTR (- I'd like one but I need the 4 door now plus the wife think its cool and my son likes it too).

A stock unopened 25 will take 350rwkw without too much fuss. Head studs are probably a good idea. My own setup went from 260 to 312 from 98 to e85. I would think yours should make around the 320 mark. Cams typically won't be required but will give top end gains.

I'd get the GTX 3076, the 3071 is probably not gunna make much more power than what you already have. And just get the maximum sized injectors [do it once].  There is a thread here somewhere telling everyone that they idle and work just fine these days.  And the cost is about the same, so why not. but Glenn knows his stuff so talk to him about it.

Yep get bigger more modern injectors and a bigger more modern turbo and if your intercooler and exhaust system (3.5 in) are up to it you should have heaps of power. If the engine lets go (no reason why it should) put an RB30 block under your head for heaps of street friendly torque. If you want four door four wheel drive get a GTS4 and repower it.

Get GTX3576 with a divided rear housing, and a proper twin scroll manifold.. put in some headstuds and screw about 2 bar into it.. should see close to 400kw+ on E85

Your injectors are too small too and you need a new fuel pump.

Thanks Lads. Good inputs. Seems the obvious path forward is to setup on E85 and leave majority of hardware as is and I'm pretty sure the vipec can handle a flex sensor. Then max it all out and decide from there.

Might even give tuning it myself a red hot crack. A lumpy idle would be level 7 jizmatronic 

boost in the snow this morning was beyond luscious. Wheel spin through 3rd and hectic popping of the limiter.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
