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

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
