Here is the complete info about my car with 20 video clips


The Story of My 500 HP Skyline R33 GTR LHD Project. The car was purchased 100% original in the UK. The steering conversion to LHD was done in Poland using components from a 1995 Nissan Maxima. An entire second car was purchased for spare parts to ensure no shortages. All air vents and the dashboard were transferred, including the air conditioning controls. The power steering unit was sourced from a Nissan 200SX LHD, and a custom universal joint was fabricated by a lathe operator to connect everything. The front lights were adjusted to meet EU standards and converted to xenon as they were originally standard. The conversion process, along with registration and engine overhaul, took nearly 2 years.

I had a total of 3 setups in the car
1. Factory RB26DETT Twin-Turbo 350 HP on original turbines
2. Tuned RB26DETT Single Turbo 500 HP Borg Warner 179391 EFR 7064 + custom manifold
3. Engine Swap RB25DET AWD Single Turbo 500 HP Garrett GTX3071r + manifold 6 boost v-band

Among the major additional modifications I made were installing Recaro CS seats with custom mounts, Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 wheels, Nismo Super Coppermix Twin Clutch Kit with a lightweight flywheel, Nismo white gauges, an additional display with sensors and alarms to monitor exhaust temperature and turbocharger pressure, Tein Flex dampers, car was tuned on LINK G4 ECU

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
