How much do you want to spend roughly? It's pretty risky buying someone elses built forged motor. Why not get one built for yourself? What's it going to be used for? Power Figure you are chasing?

If it is just the fan that has cracked get a replacement and bolt it on the the fan coupling. Not that expensive. The clutch fan gives you the best cooling of the lot and is much more efficient than the thermo fans. To get good thermo fans that move as much air as the clutch fan will cost you a lot more. I got a replacement from RHD japan. Nissan should be able to get the same thing out here. OEM cooling fan If the coupling is stuffed you can get that from them too OEM fan coupling

That's good to hear that you've decided. You will be happy with both those choices

Dump 1 Dump 2

Get a set of the mine's cam cover baffles. They work excellent. I haven't seen any blow by out of the vents on my new motor, during run in or on final tune.

I'll take the photo's tomorrow. No problems with them. Took them off as part of my upgrade. Nope. Mine is on my car. Sorry don't know anyone with one for sale. Run a search through the for sale section.

not handy, no. I can take more and post them up tomorrow. They are stock R33 dump pipes. Nothing special. What do you want to see?

Yep, I can do that

Stuff still for sale: Turbosmart megasonic blow off valve $200 Pair Garrett Wastegate Actuators $250 - I will have a look at these to find if they are adjustable. Found out on tuesday that the adjusters are normally crimped on to the thread of the actuators RB30 Water pump $90 OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch $600 Stock R33GTR dump pipes $50 Bosch 040 fuel pump $200 See the beginning of this thread for more info.

What's the pre-load set to on the waste gates? Are they set to the same pressure? Are you driving around on the same boost setting all the time? Straight from turbosmart's website: You should be able to help level it out using the gate pressure and the sensitivity.

Used a set of these on Tuesday. Absolutely awesome and saved my knuckles.

This is a build that has taken a while, a lot has been done by me with a lot of learning on the way. I hope to transform this car into more of a track weapon as time and budget allows. This will be a bit backwards at first as I am going to post the current results first after the final tune that was done on Tuesday, then I will go through some of the stages of the build up to it's current form. You will see what I have chosen for this build too. Then as time goes on, I will update this thread with modifications and their results. There isn't as many photos as a lot of other people take as most of the time I am hands on and didn't really want to stop to take progress pics. I would like to thank: Paul from Red R racing for all his advice and the great engine that he has put together for me. Lachlan for Prep'd Motorsport for the use of his workshop and his advice. Jim and the guys from CRD for the tuning of the car and helping iron out some of the bugs/gremlins with my GTR from the build process. The result: 306kW at 18psi Jim could of tuned it to have more power (we had one of the boost settings at 20psi at one stage) but as the airflow meters were maxed out, and we were tuning the car for more response than outright power, Jim focused on the 15psi tune for when I am on the track and turned the top boost down to 18psi to make it safe. Dyno graph: The car seems to keep wanting to make power when more boost is wound in. The limitations would be the turbos (Garrett 2860-7's). Power comes on very early (as you can see from the graph) and is very torquey (spelling?). I am very happy with the result Happy reading! cheers, Nathan

A combination of that and I think it was a very well prepped track yesterday (very sticky). A lot of cars were doing wheel stands and having troubles breaking traction to warm up the tires. Was nice to meet you yesterday Charlie

Scott at insight has a very good reputation with them. He tuned Bakes R34 with a plug in ViPEC when he had it. He also builds/tunes the tilton interiors evo that does well at time attack events. This runs a ViPEC too.

Here is the list of Dealers in NSW NSW vipec dealers Anyone who can tune an ecu should be able to work out how to tune it. Especially if they have experience with Link ecus which are similar.

Ran into some problems this morning on the first pass. Worked hard on it to get it back up and running, only to find a problem with the rear diff.

I used a product called glassylite to restore my headlights. It works exactly as they say in the instructions and comes with a sealant to help with oxidisation after you have cut them back. Glassy Lite

Yep that's what I did. Not too hard to do. As I said sometimes the converter doesn't work. Link here on how to do it: Pull to Push Conversion

What clutch are you using it for? I tried using an OS Giken one from my old OS clutch with my new NPC clutch and it didn't work. Ended up swapping the parts over to turn my gearbox into a push type.

He's not on here anymore, not allowed. So he won't see this. Suggest that you create a new thread and ask the question about them. There is more than one person that should be able to help. If I talk to him soon, I'll mention it to him.

Just be done with it and put a 26 head on if you are going solid lifters. You've already made the current 25 head look like one anyway.

yes I do
