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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
