Guest R33 GTR V-SPEC

Hi guys,

I recently got an R33 GTR Vspec and im planning to modify it with the following:

1. 3.5" turbo back exhaust

2. Pod filters with carbon fibre heat shield

3. Apexi power fc

4. Apexi boost con @ 15psi

5. Larger intercooler.

With these mods does anyone have an idea of what power id be making @ the engine and approx what 1/4 mile time it would run?

Hi R33 GTR V-SPEC, The other guys have covered the power and 1/4 time pretty well. My suggestion would be don't change the intercooler, the standard R33 GTR intercooler is good up to 300 rwkw. With your plans you won't be anywhere near that. So keep the response up and stick with the standard intercooler.

The only weakness at your target performance level will be the clutch. Heavy, big power and 4wd puts a lot of load on the clutch. Standard clutch won't last very many launches. We use OS Giken twin plates for your sort of power level.

Hope that helps.

Similar to what I'm going for, with that setup you should be pumping out around 240-250 rwkws, 330kw+ @ flywheel. I agree with sydneykid, don't change cooler, better spend that money on a twin plate clutch, standard one won't last with that sort of power and hard launches.

I'm going for nismo twin plate, from what I've heard they're not harsh on the left leg.

Also expect a mid to low 12 with that sort of power on the 1/4.

Hope that gives you a fair idea.

Cheers

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
