Very nice power output. Also my primary long term target & no doubt would hit 300 on a cooler day.

im not concerned at not hitting 300 in the slightest..

its only a matter of changing the boost up another 2 psi and i will be back up to 320rwkw

simple...

but i asked shaun for a strong everyday tune thats why we left it where it is now.

Yeah absolutely. 0.1KW extra is hardly gonna be noticeable when ur cruising the 'burbs. Right now I'd be very happy with 200KW, but of course that will only last so long....

anything past 260 rwkw's is next to useless with the auto anyway.

If i hit the go pedal in first as you come on boost it spins the wheels hits 7000rpm changes into second hits 7000 rpm changes into drive hits 7000 rpm then changes into overdrive...

1st gear to get any sort of traction i MUST stay below half throttle, second gear is about 2/3rd throttle so i cant really plant it until im doing over 100klms, then i back of at 110!

so whats the point?

Hmmm would a better suspension setup help with traction?? just a random thought...

Sounds like its time to buy a Stagea and transfer your mods across...now THAT would be quick!!

A little extra weight, but your traction issues would disappear >_<

Nice result however...

can i be your wife :thumbsup::laugh::huh:

lol 299RWKW the kids must love being taken to school in that i know my daughter loves mine and i sometimes hear boys say thats a skyline

'it sure is jimmy, it sure is'

you betta have plenty of beer and a singing Elvis!!!

You need to change the diff gears by the sounds of it,

mine did exactly the same with 4.11's, went to 3.45's and problem

solved, even with 370rwkw on shauns dyno.

cheers

darren

hmm mines the standard r33 auto sedan so guessing 4.3's

where can i get somthing in the low 3 range? that would be heaps better.

what other diffs with 3 ? ratio will bolt into the r33 gtst?

cheers

Im pretty sure certain models of s13 silvias had either 3.7 or 3.9 diffs, not sure which was auto or manual.

Theres defintly a 3.9 ratio you can get for the R200's, and i am pretty sure you can get 3.7's.

I think silvia autos had 4.44's and manuals had 4.11's, i'm no R200/180 guru though.

If you have 4.3's, that would be bloody horrible, 3.7's would be the pick of the bunch if you get them,

Mines a aus R31, so i just got the gears out of a vl.

cheers

darren

The S13 180 SR20DET's manuals ran with 3.9's.

47 teeth ring gear, 12 teeth pinion.

The Q45 Infinity R200 VLSD runs a 3.7 ratio.

Whats also interesting is the Q45 run the same larger GTR 31spline GTR 6 bolt (1x6) axles.

so what are you telling me?

what do i need from a q45 infinity to run the 3.7 in my 33?

is it just the centre? or do i need to change axles etc.

thanks heaps for the info!

You have a few choices...

1. Use your pumpkin, center, half shafts and axles.

Grab the crown and pinion from the Q45 lsd and drop them in to yours. You'll have to get the backlash etc setup so thats more $$.

2. Use the Q45 Pumpkin, q45 half shafts with a set of GTR axles.

Grab the whole pumpkin (from memory they run the same front pumpkin mounts as the R33) and bolt it in with a set of GTR axles and hubs for stronger arse end. Still more $$ but not wasted on setting up backlash but rather a set of nice fat splines.

3. Use the Q45 Pumpkin with your existing Axles and half shafts.

Grab the whole pumpkin, rip the center out, pull it apart and drop in the guts from your origional lsd (viscus hub, spider gears etc) and bolt it together and not have to worry about setting up the backlash as you haven't played with swapping the actual centers. 'Shouldn't' cost you any more than the cost of the q45 pumpkin.

Did you follow that last one? Not sure if I was too clear. :P

The idea of the last one is you need to swap the spider gears and vlsd hub around as the q45/gtr's run a bigger more spliney half shaft. Using your origional spider gears and viscus hub you can simply slide in your existing 5 bolt half shafts

Obviously with the usual R200 swaps you'll have to use the backplate off your existing diff.

You'll also have to double check the front mounts. I'm certian they looked the same as the 33 pumpkin.

Thats if you want to retain the vlsd. It should still be in fairly good nick.

The 300ZX diffs are an R230. 230mm so a 9" diff.

They are tough as but unfortunately they don't bolt up. The 300zx diff's from memory are a 3.69 ratio and run the same chunky axles as the gtr/q45's.

In the SA section there's a stickied wrecker listing.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=123889

Ring every wrecker and see what they can do a pumpkin for.

The going price is generally around the $250-$300 mark. 'SOME" absolutely rip people off.

A good example is D1 garage.. $500 for a GTR Pumpkin, another *won't name publicly* wants $500 for a VLSD S13 pumpkin. :S

So ring around, some may also be able to supply just the ring and pinion depending on which way you want to go.

You may be able to pick one up for cheaper over at www.nissansilvia.com, remember to double check the ratio either way.

Simply pop the rear cover off, on the crown wheel there should be stamped something along the lines of 47:12 with a few other numbers. Simply divide 47 by 12 to give you your ratio.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
