Thats an awsome results dude, can tell how happy you would be :)

Yes jazza08, I've had the GCG Hiflow for 12 months and was always around the 220-240kw@tw. I always wanted to be at 260-280kw because reading different owners threads and comparing mods, I felt that thats where most guys were aiming. Now with the VG30 rear end 270kw is a breeze and i'm extremely happy with that for a few hundred bucks outlay. If I had have known about the VG30 rear end 12 months ago I would have bought that straight away.

Very good.  Have you got a pic of the turbo before you put it on.  I'm interested to see the physical size of the exhaust housing.

This fits with my theory that an R34 turbo highflowed should make more than an R33 one done the same way.  Compressor sides are the same all round but bigger exhaust housing picks up serious gains.

Hi Bob, I'll try and download the pics now mate

So the comp. cover is still the std. rb25det turbo?

Also, having trouble understanding that dyno graph :Oops: . How could a turbo with a bigger exhaust cover be making more power throughout the whole range? I would have thought the std hiflow would have been making more power a little earlier (@ low rpm), than the VG30 hiflow combo.

Hi guys, I had a dissapointing day yesterday at Oran Park. I retired the car after only 9 laps. The car was unbelievable. Heaps of power everywhere, more than i was used to and it was the first time I have "booted" the thing since it was installed. I have never raced on the OP short circuit before and I needed more time to work it out. I was getting faster and faster the more familiar i was becoming with the newfound power and the track. Seriously, the boost comes on much much stronger than the normal GCG Hiflow. I ran a best time of 50.68.00. I honestly believe given a few more laps i could have gotten down to 48's. Even the 50.68 sec lap I was sidways comming onto the straight and I would have lost time correcting it.Biggest lesson I learnt is to ALWAYS reinstall the manifold heat shield and the turbo heat shield. I ran without and melted some plumbing. Not melted right through but rubber blistering nearest the stock manifold and even a silicon joiner melting where it was in contact with a SS clamp. DUMB MISTAKE. I'm going to replace some pipes with silicon and reinstall the heat shields.

I burnt/split the heater hose on the firewall, so the glycol sprayed over the hot turbo and flashed off. There was far more smoke then fire, but by the time i stripped/cleaned the car to observe the damage it was clear that there had been a lot of heat and enough of a fire to warrant a new loom.:P

I never thought of that issue before. I guess that is why Nissan designed them in the first place. You never stop learning when you start racing. I stuck my hand in down by that area after 3 laps and jessusss it was hot. It's a neverending story, need to get the lip on the rear guards rolled to as the tyres are just touching, more money.

Ian

More money :)...thats why im callin git quits for a year or two. Concentrate on work and getting some money behind me and enjoy some travel. Fingers crossed i might pick up a Sierra while working / travelling:)

Its amazxign once you start racing a car, i realised two thing, how good a job Nissan did, and secondly how so many aftermarket parts only solve half the problem:(

I've said it before...The Skyline...We rock up to anywhere, 3 people in the car, 4 wheels and tyres in the car, 20litre drum of fuel with Toluene mixed, tool box and pump and god knows. Having driven for 4 hours to get there, the car is absolutely loaded to the gunnels. Air Conditioner going Stereo going change the tyres when were there. Opposition turn up with car on trailer, gutted with engines and stuff from all sorts of different origin, and there are only a few cars that are quicker on the track. We always finish in the top 10 overall and I just think that says something for Nissan.....and the Skyline.

Ian

Okay so back on topic.

Hows the car at low revs know? Making any less power?

Do you have a graph from like 2000 rpm upwards?

Can you retain the existing dump pipe?

Dying to find one.

BASS OUT

    • 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.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
