Have owned a mint r33 gtr vspec for 6 mths . Imported it from the Japan.

Has a full weldina cruising exhaust system from the turbos,400r nismo body kit. nismo gauges ,turbo timer and a few other visual enhancements. I put a KN panel filter and some LMGT1 18x10 +20 wheels with falken 275/35 tyres.

Changed all the oil for redline .The car goes really well as it should at 38k k on the odometer.

The engine is in GC with good even compression on all six cylinders.

I want to increase power to around 300kw and would like it to be very responsive . not interested in bulk power.

From my research on turbos it appears that either garrett 2860Rs (HKS gtss)

or trust T517z 8.0cm2 are good torque monsters. The gtss are double roller bearings and water cooled and the trust jobs are sleeve brgs and not water cooled. I think the trust jobs come on faster though.From what everyone says.

Would like to fit a apexi power fc with the boost controller kit as well which is self learning.

Also want to fit new cam pulleys ,crank pulley and tensioner rollers with a stronger toda belt , so as to guarantee the drive train.

Want to leave interior stock apart from the FC controller I do not want any extra gauges.

Dont do burn outs just fast windy roads. Would the clutch last?.

This is not a everyday driver just my obsessional toy. (top grammar)

I would really appreciate any input on this and welcome any suggestions

before I commit coin.

Regards micov

hey mate ive just doing some work on my 32gtr now

gt2860r-5(2530)

pfc+hc

cam gears in,ex

cooler

dumps/fronts

600cc tomei squirters

044 pump

+more just cant think.

will easy get 300kw with this setup i hope.aim is 320awkw so time will tell.

there is also already a thread on these to turbos and well,by far are the 2860r-5 a better turbo for good power and response. check it out.

ps any pics of this mint gtr

Its good that you dont do burnouts, they are pretty hard to do in a 33gtr :)

Since you havent mentioned the clutch it could be assumed its stock? If so you could try your luck but definitly budget for an upgrade. It may already be an upgrade item your not aware of.

Sounds like you have a pretty good plan. I doubt you could go wrong with any of your choices of turbos, you just have to choose. People will tell you pro's and cons about each of them, but i have also heard that the trust's are awesome and are capable of more top end should you ever get bored.

As in gun32's post, dont forget the fuel system.

Nah I meant fast take offs 6000rpm launches you are right about burn outs damn near impossible

Any recommendations on clutches is there any single plate jobs that can handle that power and same action as stock . Don't want to load up engine thrust bearing dont want to pay the earth either

cheers mate

hc= hand controller.

there is a bloke by the name jim berry i think who ive heard builds awsome clutches for like 1200 bucks and they can handle shit loads...

i got a os giken twin plate

Thats one nice looking V-Spec :O

400R rear looks great! be sure to post your decisions and results.

Looks as though you have some fine cars especially the rb28. keep us all posted on it.

Would'nt mind buying a clapped out r33 gtr for a project .

just bought PFC,HC and optional boost controller from Nengun $1200 delivered , hope to fit in 2 weeks

so I,ll let you know how it goes. then I can gradually build it up bit by bit sensibly and end up with a reliable beast. That way my lovely wife wont notice heh heh. :)

  • 6 months later...

Finally fitted PFC with boost controller and a twin plate nismo coppermix clutch. Old one shagged.

Getting around 220kw at rears I think (tuned with 4wd dyna pack)

Now collecting new parts for rebuild.

Have a new N1 block (from japan)

and a good suspension kit.

Waiting for Tomei 2.8 stroker kit

Lots of other Tomei gear

Oilcooler/sump setup

Trust T517z 8.0cm

Bigger brembos 6P 355 F 4P 340R

hks evc5

need a roll cage

Should be ferken responsive hoping for a good reliable 350kw at the wheels

  • 4 weeks later...

Three weeks to go and it will all be finished .

Gearbox also being overhauled with full OS guts.

ATI harmonic balancer.

trust r-spl IC

Only thing left is the diffs anyone recommend good LSDs 1.5 way or 2 way I am a bit dim on this subject could someone please enlighten me

Also want a well fitted roll cage anyone know of any.

Beerbaron and Blitz you guys seem very knowledgeable.

Spent a shitload of coin on this car but it is worth it .

My aim is to compete in the dutton rally and other similar events not drags.( they are a drag)

Will post results

Hey also off the subject whats the go with the 10% warning below my avatar Admin guys.

Heh heh lots of views but no comments

As I said before this site is starting to get a bit too clicky for me

There are some very knowledgeable people on this site

But too many dyno pullers (fantasy land) who pour over dyno sheets and rave about boost pressures when its all about flow first .

Then you get awkw rwkw jockeys BHP is the one on a real dyno or hub dynos (dynapack) Been a hands on mechanical engineer all my life and drive train losses are minimal. ie less than 15%

I am having my car built for response,reliability and endurance for weekend racing but should easily do a low 11 should I want too.

Joined a Japanese site and are these people friendly .My language skills are improving.

Must be an underarm Australian thing (Go K1W1) .

Well a lot of info is already on the forums.

When people comment on the same topic 6+ times, they tend not to do so after a while.

Especially when a topic like GTR/Turbos is so common.

Also you havent really asked any direct questions in the last few posts, more comments... and the questions you do ask, are better suited to other sections where the experts in those areas are looking more often :P

Mabye you should read my post properly Nismoid. I was asking about the in and outs of the different types of differentials as I am not to au fei with them and want more knowledge on the best types for track racing.

Have not asked about turbos for a while as The T517z 8cm are the ones that are going on my engine ( as we speak) Although it would be nice to hear from anyone with these turbos on a tomei stroker.

Just seems to me that you have to sling some shite to get a response on this site.

But I will definitely check out the Drive train section Nismoid

TY

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
