My mate recently had his R33 GTST put on the dyno. Ran up 319RWHP..only engine mods are air filter, 3"exhaust from the cat back, front mount and running 1Bar boost. Guys at the workshop say it should be only pushing out around the 260RWHP mark which sounds about right.

I always thought something was weird about his car as my R33 had the same mods plus some extra and still struggled to keep up...

We thought it was a standard turbo and it looks as though it has never been replaced or the heat shielding removed.... any thoughts???? is there an easy way to check what turbo without pulling to much apart??

oh oh Steve remember MrGTST (Bretts) r33..he has a stock turbo and pulls 302rwhp...had you boys wondering if there was any other work done to it!! It was a freak of a car...makes power for no reason!!

Yes Phil but these cars had no sign of anything touched but there has to be something uprated but theres always signs of nuts and bolts with spanner marks and sealers etc and often other upgrades like airpods dumps etc not just a turbo upgrade.Spose the only way we will ever know is when the cars need their Turbos removed or modded..

high power is one thing, safety is another.

any workshop can lean out a car, put timing into it, to get it to make power, but at the end of the day it will be a time bomb.

i personally would sacrific abit of power to have a safety margin with the motor.

just be careful what goes on, i would like to think u would be very upset it your destroy a motor just for some extra power.

also the dyno run could be dodgy, who knows what the inlet temps where.

Its not lean or advanced it made almost the same power as it sat and its on an 06 accredited dyno.Top racing is a currant shootout shop.

The car Wildcat talks of did its power on another Dyno also.

WE may not be even talking the same car ar HIPSI has not said yet.

I dont think the car is stock as i said before but it shows no signs of any work having been done.

As said before time will tell whats in them.

Topracing claim no credit for this car as it already had the power.

I just looked at the file Made 313 and we turned it back to 299 because the Datascan showed 24deg timing at 6500 to 7000rpm and theres a power dip at 6000 and the scan showed only 10deg timing at that point so it really needs an ECU swap.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
