1996 R33 GT-R V-Spec - Built by Prostock Motorsports Japan


Recommended Posts

Exactly what Shyboy said. Will be staying in a hostel in Rio for 2 weeks so will be out in the mix as much as possible. You just can't beat Latina women, only need to go partying in Bondi to figure that out : D

As for the GTR, it made 267awkw at 14psi tapering off to 13psi, then with another 2 degrees timing knocked out of it it made 257awkw. The main reason for knocking out timing is to make it super safe until we get the KV8 in. Plus, it was running super rich like all Jap tuned cars.

Did this thing used to have a big turbo kit on it before it was imported?

Wonder why they built it and did the head? Someone had some plans at some point? 

 

Nope, prior to the brand new engine it was running HKS low-mount twins. 

I envisage the owner did all of his driving on the street and thus set it up accordingly with the 'factory special' theme.

So the mods going forth will continue the theme and simply bring the car into the 21st century. It's worth more kitted out with all the Nismo gear anyway.

It's almost scary to think the S15 will have 330-340rwkw on low boost whilst 280kg lighter - I'm already wow'ed by the GT-R so I think I underestimated just how fast that will be.

I think you do underestimate how fast the Silvia will be, but we can shit our pants together when i get mine done because I think I underestimate it too. 

What's the purpose of the 2 cars? Silvia for track GT-R for street? Could save yourself a FAT stack of cash by not going too wild on the GT-R and having the Silvia as your "fast" car?

The GT-R ended up on a tow truck this sunday.

Basically, had a massive BBQ at the beach with the brazillian girls till we got moved along by the police, so we kicked on to Waverley Park.

They jumped in the R so naturally I gave them the R experience.... until I blew the clutch. 

After some fun at Waverley one of the latina girls jumped back in for the ride home, I knew the clutch was 95% toast but I figured I'd be able to nurse it back to my place. Unfortunately ended up free-revving on Old South Head Rd pulling over just in time, I imagine it's probably the pressure plate as the initial "95% fail" happened instantly?

Thankfully had a case of warm corona (man beer) in the boot so we sat on the sidewalk sinking that for about 2 hours till the tow truck came. She loved the whole experience though even helping to push the car back into the garage. So that's the end of the R for now, will figure out the next step in due course.....

Unlucky.

A sudden let go could be as simple as the pivot ball is snapped, which is why Nismo sells a reinforced item. Pull the boot off and have a look inside you might just get lucky. 

 

 

Dan, it's a Nismo Twin Plate. I think the R33 is a pull-type clutch. Does it have a pivot ball or is there something else that could of failed?

I thought they still had a pivot ball?

Those nismo twin plates are good for power well beyond what you're making. 

Pull the boot back and shine a light inside. Have someone press the pedal. 

*EDIT* Think I'm wrong about the pivot ball sorry, as you said pull not push. 

May have busted release bearing or the fork instead.

After shredding the friction material on the Nismo Twin Plate and welding the clutch together, it was time for future-proofing this big white lead sled......

In goes a Custom DCS Billet Twin Plate rated to 1500bhp, and yes, it does rattle like a million samurai's which was a prerequisite....

Then we decided to roll on with a don mega fuel system....

Seeing as nothing off the shelf would cut it, in went a custom surge tank....

& once that baby was mounted, an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator and billet fuel filter was tucked in neatly to the engine bay

A custom crank trigger setup is also in progress, I will keep you lads posted.....

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
