If you wanted a GTST, wouldn't it be cheaper to just trade in your GTS and buy a GTST than try to do a turbo conversion on it? It's almost like the auto to manual conversion dilemma.

My car wasn't a GT-T or a GT + turbo...it was art! :)

Seriosuly though, my GT + t would whoop my current stock R34 GTT, the power delivery of the high-compression was scary, I'm in the process of modding the GT-T, so it will be interesting to see if it actually gives me the same "fearing for my life" feel that I had while changing lanes in the GT + t

I did the bolt-on about 2 years ago, it was pretty economical back then....I'd probably reconsider now, especially as it made the car so attractive for thieves :)

Everything is stock except the 17inch rims i bought the car with.

Another question...

Its a stock GTS25 4 door, 5 speed auto, I didnt want anything overly fast because im still only 17. I figured it would be a good car to learn on. So what are some good mods to start with and slowly build up. Keep in mind I have a limited budget and a new P plater.

Can I get some good power out of an auto RB25DE?

Im thinking my first mod would be to stick in a k&n panel filter and an exhaust system one i got the cash. Sound good or shit?

By the way I havnt put in the turbo yet, comes later.

Thanks, ciaoz

You're a new P-plater, with a turbo?

How new? :D

My car is non turbo but is complied in japan as a turbo car so I have to do a turbo conversion before I can get it complied here as it has to be stock.So I guess I have a non turbo gtst.Doesn't worry me though cause I want to turbo it anyway.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      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!

      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!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      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.
