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

+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.

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

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

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
