You Oz guys seem to be pushing the R33 GTSTs further than anyone else so Im asking for your help. I bought an R33 GTST recently. It came partially modded but we always want more so Im taking power mods upto to:

PFC

740 Nismo injectors

Nismo fpr

Nismo fuel pump

Apexi filter

Tomei Poncams

Trust 1.8mm head gasket

Greddy intercooler

Greddy plenum

Exhaust

Greddy TD06-25G

OS Giken twin plate

Greddy rad

Oil cooler

All the bits are there to run 450+rwhp bar the bottom end. The cars going to be used on track so we arent talking 12 seconds track runs or the occasional road blast. We are talking half an hour of sustained caining.

What power will be safe for the occasional blast down the strip, road or power run and whats going to be safe for 30 mins of redline action? :(

haha.. i'd be wanting a forged bottom end if its goin to get a constant caining for that long.. also in the list there you havent specified a computer? i assume you've already got a powerfc? if so.. i'd throw in a q45 or z32 afm in there aswell..

the best person i'd say to ask about setting up a gtst for track work would be sydneykid.. send him a pm or.. he'll most likely find his way to this thread sometime during the day i'd assume?

I'd drop the head gasket and plenum myself, leave the stock gasket to maintain your compression at this stage, and the plenum can come later as you won't benefit hugely at this stage, though there will be a reasonable improvement in throttle response depending on the layout of your pipework atm.

Around 270rwkw is fairly safe with a stock bottom end provided you keep the boost below 20psi or so, so the valves don't float and keep the peak revs around 7000 so you don't throw a rod. And be a bit conservative on the timing as sustained detonation at those sort of levels will kill the engine in about 2 seconds flat.

The cars running a Power FC and Ive got a Z32 afm for it :(

I went with the thicker head gasket to help prevent det, is this not a good idea on the RB25?

270rwkw is around 360rwhp?

Cheers for the info guys :)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
