Hey sorry, probably shouldve put more info 馃ぃ ill double check if he has a dyno sheet but not confident he does.

Its an r33 gtst, 25det. 86,000kms. It runs @ 9psi atm, so would 388rhp be realistic for that type of boost? (New to turbo cars in general)

Im currently looking at MV's valve body and a 19row oil cooler as hes blown 2 gearboxes already (family member so not worried about it too much).

Getting it super cheap so keen to start working on it. Possibly turning down the boost just to save it for longer until manual conversion.

And yes he plays the war, farming games 馃ぃ馃ぃ

Really? Is that with oil cooler etc? Or just the plain old box

Let's be clear. It's a road car. You can't stay on the power for more than about 10s at a time anyway, and even if you flog it through the hills you're only on the power < half the time. You don't need to worry about cooling the box too much, and it is mechanically strong enough to handle that much torque.

If you cane it silly, then yes, it will suffer. But if you drive it around normally, and launch it from the lights some of the time, you're not doing anything outrageous to it. If it breaks, it will be because it's 30 years old.

Nismo 740cc injectors seem to indicate the side feed ones, which would point towards an RB25.

Next to the 60m food ?

Looks like the food was 36m?

Yeah stock 30 year old RE4 with a 3788 even at 9psi doesn't sound ideal

Does the current owner have a dyno graph? It is a bit of an old school setup but probably around 400 rwkw.

Where is the 100m wood installed?

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
