What does it take for an r33 gtr to run mid-high 12's all day everyday?and reliably as well, is that a bit much to ask, or easily do-able?, im still deciding on the whole r33 gts-t mod it up, or just buy an r33 "r"

thanks

Very easy to do a low 12 in a 33 R, I did 12.3@110 mph in a friends 33 . The only mods were: Power f/c,

cat back exhaust, front pipes and ebc ( 1 bar boost ) .

The only risky thing in them are the ceramic turbos, if they let go ( just a matter of when, not if) they usualy take the engine with them ...

Plenty of 33's for sale in australia starting at around $29 k .

thanks heaps ppl, i think i mite just go with the "r" like ive always wanted to:), umm the risky issue?why so, is it cause your running too much boost on the stock ceramics???, i wouldve though an exhaust/pod and tune would only benefit the car, with no real disadvantages??

Yes but @ 1bar the turbos are at their limit.

So like it was said it will only be a matter of when not if.

I ran my car with stock engine/turbos, 1 bar boost/exaust, stock ecu which ran 12.4's easy, I drove it everyday as a daily driver, no problems for 40,000ks :P

A bit hard to believe you when you're selling the turbos in your signature :lol:

I rebuilt my engine because the ringlands were stuffed (which is only because a certain workshop stuffed something up and detonated my engine to death).. and i figured why not upgrade to GTSS turbos at the same time, so my turbos for sale are still in good cond :happy:

How's the GTSS turbos compared to the N1, 2530 and 2540's?

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
