interested in my blue r33

Posted 16 December 2011 - 11:23 PM monty_r33, on 06 April 2010 - 09:30 PM, said: Round 1: lasted 1 week I had one in my rb30/26 running 580hp and the preasure plate smashed after a week and destroyed my gear box. I was only running the cluch in no launches at all. It was a single plate 5puk from npc Round 2: built stronger lasted 3weeks From the last time it shit its self I sent it back and had it rebuilt to handle even more power. Funny thing is I'm running less power then last time. Now 450hp and the piece of shit clutch let go yet once again but this time it smashed the box clean off the block. I was changing from 2nd to 3rd. I should of learnt from the first time it let go. Now I will use what I know works. Hks or OS GIKEN or a orc or back to mal wood to get a custom built. So I don't have to pay labour to remove the gear box and pay for a new box and clutch because some price of shit clutch can't handle half of what it is built for. Buyers be warned. And customer service is f**ked when you send them back. They try anything to get out of it

I didn't know 32 had rb25 heads. Thought they rb20. I guess since it was a r33 and the old owner build the car from scratch it would of been the original head

I think it was 21psi making 450. It used to be awesome

]here are on of the performance shops that screwed me. The car had a minor runnig problem. They were told to find the problem call me and then fix it. Instead they done what they wanted and gave the car back making less power and running worse. they refused to test drive it and said there was no problem with it on the dyno. I found the problem my self it turned out to be the intank pump cutting in and out of power with filled the surge tank enough for a ramp on the dyno but not enough for on the street. So a $60 intank pump was the problem all along and this is what they done.

Hey thanks GTRNUR so much for sharing your knowledge and experiance. As far as the head goes i got it from spool and paid top dollar for it and was told it was a full race prep head with over sized valves and hks 272cams. it has been poted that i can see easily. But a few weeks ago when i had the head off i thought i would have a close look at the valves and to my suprise they have the nissan logo on them. To me that mean there standard valves and i guess the chanber hasnt been touched. Do you tune. If so how much would it cost for you to come tune this thing. I have access to a awd dino. Also would the microtech be holding this motor back from full abillity.

Marty white from white brothers racing in brisbane buit the motor for the owner befor me withch had a rb25 head on it with mild porting stock cams and cam gears and stock valves. A rip of garret gt45 a ebay manifold and a greddy rip off plenum and f**k knows what the injectors were. but it went realy realy f****** hard. It would come on boost in 3rd at 120km and peel smoke off the tires that are 22in rims on the rear. That was rolling in 3rd at 80km and holding it flat waiting for boost to come on at at 120 km. So thats when i thought i wonder what it will do with a 26head big cams a 6boost manifold and a good turbo. ( turbonetics gtk1000) Its was worse then the ebay special. This was 2 yrs ago and i was only just starting to lean all about this stuff. I didnt even think twice about changing the pistons when i saw there were still freash hone marks and the way it performed with the 25 head.

So what effect will the gate being to small be. The expensive turbonetics one was shit and i didnt have much cash at the point of time and fould the tail 38mm for a good price and needed it asap

Marty White from white brothers racing built the motor for the owner befor me. Reason For running rb30det piston- (DRUGS I GUESS)

Ok so i spoke to mark from godzilla motorsports today. He said that even if the cams were out it wouldnt affect that much power. He also said the low compresion isn't a problem just means i have to double the boost to make the same power as other motors on 20psi But he did say to f****** the microtech off cause they really dont work well at all and timing is always out or to much. (mine is set to 50 deg) And he also said a smaller turbo to max out around 600hp and 1000cc injectors and then it will be mental. Said making 500hp on a smaller turbo will fell like a 1000hp compared to 500hp with the turbo im using now.

problem i have is where i live there are 3 performance shops one is to expesive to go to and the other 2 have f***** me over and dont seem to know what there doing and the last tuner done a grreat job tunning it but only made 441hp but it keeps fowing up the front 4 plugs but the rear two are really white. i went back to him and showed him and his response was ( well i cant trim it any more because how lean the back 2 plugs are) and i said cant that be fixed by adjusting the 6 throttle bodies and his response was (not really sorry i cant help you. thats just how that plenum flows) Is this true

Thanks for the hope. Cam gears have never been dialed in. have allways asked for that to be done but never happens they just tune it. its running stock plenum. the ebay one was on the 25/30 setup. The microtech has its own coil module in it. And as far as the cooler goes well its been there since i bought the car. no brand on it and could possiby be a ebay special to

yes they are chrome ring. All i know was when i got new bearings put though it the said the ring and pistons were still great and hone marks were still fresh from when the owner befor me had the motor first built.

well some tunners that made 450 felt good and aggresive and others that made 450 just felt like a real smooth v8 grunt. But have massive lag but to be expected i guess because of the low comp. over all 450hp is good but still a let down for how much spent considering the orriganal rb25 ebay package went harder

This is excelent post. Now These are the things i wish these mechanics i been going to have done but they havent and seem to just brush it off to the to hard corner and just give me blank useless answers. Well the head assy with cams and valves was around $6000 from spool 2yrs ago plenum setup from spool was about $2000 6boost manifold was about $2000 turbonetics gtk1000 new was about $5500 the peice of shit turbonetics was gate that was sold to me to match the turbo was about $1200. Never sealed closed from new and was swaped with a tail 38mm first build used a $400 tomie commetic head gasket witch didnt work cause of the oringed block. sard injectors were around $1300 sard fuel rail was about $400 Cam gears were around $500 Fuel reg and 2x bosch 044 and surg tank and bosch intank pump plus fittings and braided hoses came to around $3000 eboost2 was around $1000 bosch coils replaced x4 was near $400 superspark coils $450 lasted 2wks splitfire coils $750 factory coil harness $500 custom exhaust from 3.5 inch to 5inch from turbo into 4.5inch $1750 plus $450 for cannon new microtech harness and repair and labour was $2500 All braided hoses and speedflow fittings in engine bay came around $6000. new clutch $2000 Rebuild: all bottom end bearings replaced with acl race and all gaskets and oring and seals $3500 New ballencer $600 alloy radiator $450 This is just some of the costs i have came up against so far off the top of my head with out going though all reciepts. All these costs listed are not including labour of what ever the shops were charging at the time. And not including numerous dynos. Things from the start to end that had to be changed from going from 25 to 26 1 Fuel system run out of puff on first tune attempt at 430hp. 2 Tune 2: waste gate was not sealing or holding shut. Turbonetics 50mm now running tail 38mm 3 Tune 3: exhaust was too restrictive and any boost over 16psi didnt make a difference 4 big oil breathing issue. Return fitted to the back of head to sump to fix prob - Why only 18psi- either the tuner felt it was unsafe to go higher or there was no hp gain - Tested boost drop across the cooler core- have always asked this to be done but never has been done - Tested exhaust manifold pressure.- never been done - What else was done to the head, surely that cannot be it- Not real sure. i was a spool head package. was told it had oversized valves ect. But to my suprise the valves have the nissan logo on them. Hks 272 cams 9.38 lift i think and ported - What are the AFRs doing- soon as i find all dyno sheats ill scan and upload them - What is the injector duty- not sure as i no longer have a hand set because a tunner kept it to borrow and some how lost it along with my laptop dongle Thease are my reasons for not trusting most performace shops or tunners and am now asking on here for what every one else thinks. I took it to a tunner not long ago to fix a missfire prob and they said the computer had 2 blown drivers in it. one was a coil driver and the other was a injector driver and want $5500 to put a haltech in it. I refused and picked it up and took it home and found a coil melted. Prob fixed.

nah goes up around 80psi on free rev and comp is low from the rb30det pistons
