  1. thanks guys the advice is much appreciated. what bout a clutch?
  2. hey guys i've got an r33gtst with 300kw atm but will have 400kw in coming months. what do a do bout gearbox and clutch? can a r33gtr box be modified to suit gtst and handle the power or should i be getting straight cuts? for a clutch i was thinking bout a nismo twin plate? is this the right path? cheers
  3. any chance that you would post to nsw. yes is saw SA only, just thuoght i would give it a shot.
  4. Hey guys, Last time I posted I was thinking bout a full engine rebuild. Well i did it, bigger pistons, new rods, bigger cams (272), new valve springs, head machined etc. Anyway it's built, but the final tune isn't going to plan. My tuner is using adaptronic to tune my power FC and the timing keeps moving. He set my cams too 20 degrees with his computer and then checked it with a timing light and it agreed. He left the car too cool came back a couple of hours later and it was at 27 degrees. Now when he changes it on his computer it does not register on the PFC hand controller. His computer can change the injector flow fine, but it wont do the timing. WTF It has cost me enough money to date and the prognoses is that i need a new computer. Any thoughts or advice? Regards
  5. no i don't think that it is ajustable. how much to rebuild an engine that could handle 400kws cost usually?
  6. I did go to another workshop and they told me that standard injectors world only handle 210kw and i have proof that mine did 265kw. they also said that my turbo wouldn't handle over 250kw but is has, twice, on two different dynos. so i don't know who to talk too.
  7. Is there any legal action i can take? cause it feels like i,m getting rawted.
  8. They are the genuine kws. When the plenum went on i also put 550cc injectors in it. we put piston 5 at top dead center and ran compressed air into it and it blew straight out the oil cap. it's getting pulled out and stripped this week. it missed only in the upper revs but when the coilpacks were put in the problem was solved. i am giving him a chance to rectify the problem. like skylinecouple said decent mechanics would want to fix it. should i be putting in any money though?
  9. Hi all, This is a long story but it all comes together. I bought an r33 II bout a year and a half ago. It had PFC, FMIC, AVCR, fuel pressure reg, exhaust, hi flow turbo etc. this gave me 265kwATW at 16psi. I wanted more response and power out of it so i thought of a plenum. I consulted some mechanics and found the right price. All sweet. While waiting 4 the plenum to come over from japan my car developed a horrible misfire so bad that i was beaten by a ford territory. We decided to put a set of spitfire coils in it. It was still missing but we lowered the spark gap to 0.9mm and that fixed the problem. The car was only meant to be there at the shop for a week, but it was there 4 three. At the second week he leant me his car to take to work but that weekend he needed it back and gave my car back to me missfiring, tps stuffed, not able to accelerate over 23% and with now 128kwatw. It was rooted but he seamed to feel bad cause he had no intention of giving it back to me this way. I got it back the next week. What i got done was plenum, cam gear, bigger injectors, 80mm TB and a new tune. During this tune he said that my avcr or boost controller had broken and he had supplied me with a manual one. this didn't bother me cause he said that he will read up on it and see if it can be fixed. It also did a strange thing that none of us could work out. When the A/C was on the tps switch would act faulty. He said that it would looked at in the next tune. The next week at tafe, learning cooling systems I put a pressure test on the system to see if it held pressure. It did. Until i went back to the shop and noticed that the water pump was stuffed. The old seals had been blown out, just old age. He said bring it in on wed the 22nd to get it fixed, fix up the A/C problem, make it run a bit leaner, get more power out of it and so on. He told me just to keep toping the radiator up with coolant as it leaks. My car didn't go over half way on the temp guage all week. On friday when i went to pick it up and he was doing a compression test on it. He said that it had a little missfire and he wanted to check it. On pulling the spark plugs out he noticed that they were burnt and we had replaced them when the coil packs got done. I said that I had put some octane booster in it and the mystery was solved. He did the test anyway. We found out that piston 5 had NO compression. We ran air through it and it blew straight out the oil cap. MELTED PISTON He was shocked cause the plugs wern't white from running it too lean and that it had been running fine.Could he have caused this? I have decided to rebuild the engine, pistons head gasket rod bolts etc. What else can i do. he has not taken responibility 4 it. I am confused and worried. NEED HELP. What should i do? What do i need? Was it his fualt Just need some advice asap
  10. Hey guys, I've got an r33 II gtst and it has a realy bad negative chamber problem on the front. I don't know what type of suspension it has, but the previous owner paid 2 grand for it. (Not coilovers) I want to know what would be the best method to fix it and then leave my suspension. Will coilovers fix my problem or should i just get ajustable strut tops to fix it? thanx guys
  11. What does your tuner recommend?? He thinks that I will just encounter an intake problem later down the line, but I am seeing him tonight.
  12. Yeah I was going for 300rwkw, but heard the turbo wouldn't handle it. The injectors aren't in yet, I am still running stockies, but the new ones go in with the plenum and they are 550's and not sure what brand they came with the car. The turbo was already hi-flowed when I got the car. but it seamed to handle 16psi pretty well. Nah sorry nitestalkr don't have the tune graph, but i will get one with the new tune. Is it a worth the time and money getting a plenum, 80mm TB, put the injectors in and a tune or should I just get a bigger turbo put the injectors in and a tune? F%*k i am dam confused what to do.
  13. Hey guys Got an rb25,hiflowed turbo, fuel reg, FMIC, exhaust, PFC and bogger injectors. Wat plenum should I get plazmaman or greedy. Hw much boost should I run (has 265kw on 16psi now) thanks
  14. hey guys i'm not sure where to post this but here looked like the best place. i after a r33 workshop or service manual. if anyone has one to download or one to copy or nows where to get one if would really helpful thanks
  15. I mostly will use it for the 1\4 but i can always put better suspension later on. The owner before me put race suspension in it nothing massive (no coiloveres) but i haven't taken it out on the track yet cause i want to get it to where i want it, eg 300kw. where is the best place to get it done cause this is what i want, bigger injectors installed dyno tune the plenum put in and running. there is nowhere where i live
  16. Like what? I already have PFC, FMIC, exhaust, fuel pressure reg, High flowed turbo, bigger injectors to go into it, whatelse is there?
  17. Is that the best way that ican possibly go? Where would you buy it all from?
  18. Hey guys Reading the forums i can see no disadvantage if i buy a greedy or subzero plenumand install it. (If there is tell me before i make a mistake) My question is, What do i need to buy to make this work, How much will the whole thing set me back and Where is the best place to get it done? Respect
  19. hey guys a couple of months ago all my badges were stolen. so now i brought them all back, but i was wondering if it would look better with or without them. badges or no badges? lest we forget
