Lots of views but no interest... so this GTR is destined to be my future project. Thanks for looking. -
[Closed] Borg Warner Efr Series Turbos
bigmikespec replied to Lithium's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
So nearly $3k for turbo, plus Full-race manifold $2.5k (landed), twin wastegates $300ea; you are over $6k and you have no gaskets, dump pipes, intake pipes... Halve that at $3k and a set of -5's would be fine thanks! -
R33 Gt-r - Best First Mod Option?
bigmikespec replied to Deziner's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
There is no HICAS fluid on a R33 or R34 the HICAS rack is electric not hydraulic. And do not waste your money on replacing intake pipes... get everything fixed and ensure everything functions correctly. That will cost you enough before you start spending it on handling better and going faster! -
[Closed] Borg Warner Efr Series Turbos
bigmikespec replied to Lithium's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
BTW, the EFR turbos are at the higher end of the aftermarket turbocharger price spectrum. The reason why is because they are so feature rich........ If you look for quality and don't mind spending a premium then keep reading. Taken from one of the links... I guess BW turbos had there stint as being very well priced in comparison with Garrett. -
1995 Nissan Skyline R33 Gtr Vspec
bigmikespec replied to bigmikespec's topic in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)
Some decent photos... also Rego until May 2011 -
Owned for nearly three years since imported from Japan and done 86,000kms. In the time that I have had it has only done 15,000kms. At the moment this is an expression of interest; reason I may part with it is that I may move on and buy a R34 GTR or go all out with a project GTR of some description. Interior: - All original and near perfect condition for its age. Nissan floor mats and Motul seat cover for driver’s seat. Exterior: - Original wine red colour, also great condition for its age. Driveline: - NPC single plate carbotic button clutch; when it was installed (500kms ago) I got the tailshaft rebuilt with a new centre bearing and balanced. - NPC billet machined flywheel - Redline gear oils in the front and rear diffs, Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the gearbox, Nissan Matic D in transfer case. Suspension/handling: - Bilstein PSS9 coilovers fully adjustable height and damper - Whiteline swaybars (adjustable) front and rear - Noltec subframe bushes - Every OEM suspension bushing was replaced with new Superpro ones as well as adjustable camber bushes in the front upper arms - All ball joints were replaced with Nissan OEM or aftermarket ones - Whiteline adjustable upper arms with bushes not rod ends - All bolts were stripped and replated zinc/gold passivate - All suspension arms and subframe were sand blasted, primed and re-painted in black (2pak) - Kuhmo KU36 tyres not even 2000kms old Engine: - Vipec V88 using MAP sensor (periodically tuned to upgrade software and ensure good engine health) - Bosch 044 fuel pump in-tank controlled by Vipec (so no noise at idle) - Trust Power Evo. II cat back exhaust (still have stock one and stock cat to go with car) - Serviced every 5000kms with Motul 300V Chrono - Makes 250kW at all four wheels at 12psi (dyno sheet available) also achieves 10.5-11.0L/100km Basically all the mods I have done are to ensure the reliability and driveability of the car and I have probably spent easy $12-15k on it on top of the price of the car. If someone was to buy it with the intention of taking it to the track all it would need is a built engine; the hard part has been done by me as far as handling and driveline is concerned. Even a pair of GT-SS/-9 turbos and injectors will see a healthy 300kW and complete the car very nicely. I have receipts for everything and have spent a lot of man hours especially with the suspension and handling. It was almost a restoration but well worth at as it handles beautifully! I would like to think I could get mid-low $30k so will consider offers in that region. It is a beautiful example of a R33 Skyline GTR Vspec and has been very well looked after! If there is no interest I will probably keep it but if the opportunity presented itself a new owner would not be disappointed.

R33 Gtr, Are My Injectors Maxing At 208awkw?
bigmikespec replied to GD51LA's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Check your base fuel pressure first to see if it is where it should be; I am not 100% what it is from standard so don't want to give you a bum steer. There should be much more duty left at that power. -
Engineering reason: chicks froth on twin high mounts!

Good work mate. Interested to know also what is optimum temp. for gear/diff. oil hence when you want the pump to start flowing through the cooler... -

Did the trans oil cooler operate all the time or temp. activated via sensor? -
