if they let ash's car in, do they align wheelbarrows as well?

carbon fibre will be stronger than fibreglass but not as flexable as the oem plastic ones

I've had my gtr to 270 on my speedo, probably not very accurate tho.. but it was no where near the redline in 5th. was still pulling but ran out of track. top of 3rd is around 180, top of 4th is around 240 ... will have to get hte gps out next time i have passenger lap to see how true it is

Just to set record straight, i Paid $3250 for my new R33 GTR gearbox from nissan. Its a late model box as well - series 3? Buttttttt i've had nothing but problems with it.. I'm on my 3rd box now (warrenty) because the first 2 whined like a dogbox, this 3rd one was built and blueprinted from scratch with brand new parts... still not sure if its going to whine... only had a couple of hundred ks on it.. I know someone who had his R33 GTR box rebiult with Series3 internals brand new, cost him over 3.5k.

snowman has HKS 2530's not N1 turbos. But yes i'd expect closer to 300rwkw+ there and a good tuner would be able to tell you why you're not hitting that mark.

Yeah i'm hoping to get down if i have my car back, just to watch tho

Pretty sure it won't. Especially not R32 GTR most of them are push type clutchs.

yeah agree with abusd... Can't see any real practical differences between the 3 models. Get what you want. Don't let some reporter tell you what to buy.

I don't think you're going to see any performance increase as long as its not missfiring then its good. Misfiring = bad, if its not missing can't see you getting any better performance.

hey even i rocked up! and you guys need to find this stuff called sunscreen!! (thanks bec ) there was no game, we just relaxed, ate and talked crap and heard the story of purple32 (Ross) hah

and whatever you do DO NOT get a solid centre clutch !

and budget for an engine rebuild just incase.

What was your reason for changing it Nick?

WHy do you want to change them? no point to it unless you want that gay sneezing sound which you will get sick of in about a month. Have a search someone posted here recently he wanted a blow off valve so bad, he put one on and a month later he couldn't wait to get rid of it.... Leewah runns over 600rwkw with stock BOV's. Keep them.

Is that the same dyno Jerry made 240rwkw on with his car? Nice result - doing anything else to it or are you finished? Whens it go to the drag strip?

Where are you located? I have a set that have just come off my car. R33 GTR.

Dumb question - Does the consult interface still work if you have a PowerFC?

I'm new to the engine build thing as well so don't take my word as gospel but heres my opinions from what i've learnt. Bearings definatly upgrade - N1 or ACL i think? ... Blue print engine build not sure what that invovles don't know if everyone does that or not... Timing belt definatly - last thing you want to do is have you brand new engine's timing belt snap and kill your engine. Head gasket - may as well do it especially if you're going to be running 20psi + I'm also doing N1 oil pump and N1 Water pump. Once again saftey thing - don't want to cheap out on $800 on an oil pump to have oil surge kill my engine.... i think its worth it, its up to you tho.

Good choice.

Well the Rods in the RB25 out of the R34 GTT are GTR rods i've heard. Stock GTR rods are good to 400rwkw+.... Not sure about R33 Gtst rods.

I just saw how thin they were, the oem ones came with greese as well and were much thicker/stronger so decided to spend the extra few $ ... can't hurt.

Yep Forumla R 10w-60 is what I use as do most of the other team wang boys do for daily driving and track days. So yep keep using it. Its good stuff.

So have you got one for me? you gonna be at the BBQ on sunday? What am i getting and how much do i owe you mate

I checked aftermarket ones and they seemed to be a lot thinner than the oem boots, so i went for oem.
