1) SARDs are "generally" OK being a drop in injector that re-uses the old plugs

2) Camshafts? Might as well get the Tomei Poncam + Gear package if you got $5k to play with

3) Nismo / Tomei fuel pump will kick Bosch ass anyday

4) Nismo FPR (straight bolt on to the factory fuel rail)

Sards are not direct fit from what i saw. I watched them being installed onto a GTR two weeks ago :)

Was a bit of farting around to get the connector to fit, least they are not as bad as years ago... if you count that as a good thing

Cams for 300rwkw you wont need i dont think cost vs gain the cam gears come out clear winners for a couple hundred.

Dont see how one fuel pump is better than another, especially when price comes into it

I also doubt you'll need an FPR. Stock ones are fine.

Hanyou, send a pm to ferni, find out his setup as he has around 300rwkw on stock AFM/injectors.

Cheers

So the plugs need to be changed / adapted with the SARDs?

I'd go for the camshafts - 300rwkw + high flowed turbos will be more than enough to make use of the cams (I'm only talking about Poncams here 260 degree 9.15mm lift).

Fuel pump; Tomei and Nismo take 20minutes to install... Bosch pumps take more because 1) there is no bracket; 2) you have to locate a good place for fuel pickup that will also reach the bottom 3) you need to do new wiring (possibly even the constant voltage trick). For the extra $200 I would get a pump that is completely drop in with nothing to worry about.

FPR is not required; agreed. Nonetheless - not a bad thing to have if you want to push out that little bit extra or set a base pressure to go by - I know of a few tuners who do this.

I'd be looking at a catch can system as well - quite a few GTRs with 300rwkw start to experience oil problems (especially those that see a lot of track time).

Yeah from what i saw :huh:

Needed some love, wasnt a direct fit, and, even with the mod... i wouldnt be confident of them not presenting issues further in time

ive decided cam gears will be enough, i've pm'd ferni about his setup as well. however id be assuming that the injectors/fuel pump would be running right to their limit?.

another question: do injectors need to be fitted same time with engine management?.

back onto the fuel pump topic. the only reason i was gna opt for the nismo/tomei pump was due to there is no sock thats attatched to the bosch?. ive had a 040 in my r33 gtst before didnt have any problems. i guess it just comes down to who installs it?

Get the engine management and the injectors put in at the same time and save of installation/tuning costs unless you install the ECU yourself (I did with my PFC) and run on the base map for a short while.

f**k pfc get a wolf v500 $1795.00

Real helpful

things i think you need.

nismo pump

sard 700cc injectors (they are pretty much a direct fit on RB26, perhaps you will need new o-rings, but i have seen people re-use them).

tomei poncams 260/9.15mm (get the set with pulleys, it's cheap)

Apexi Power FC

and a good boost controller if you don't have one already. easy as pie. and the nismo pump and power FC you can install yourself to save a couple of bucks.

AFM.s You will need the RB25 or Z32 Type...Plus adaptors....

Or if you have the money...Nismo type...same size as yours...fit on and tune

Sorry, but you are wrong. Unless hanyou's AFM's are already on the way out there is no need to change them.

offnsv: have you got a part number for those injectors? thanks

ill stick with the nismo pump option then since i can do it myself lol.

can someone explain the difference between poncams and cams? or are they the same thing?..

if i could save money on just using cam gears to hit my power level it would be better for me as i could get some rims.. LOL

poncams=cams. it's just tomei's name for their bolt in camshaft range.

i'm not sure how well these turbos perform so it's hard to say, but it certainly is possible to get 300rwkw without cams as long as you have the right turbos and run enough boost through them.

personally I would buy the cams and gears together from tomei. the set is quite cheap for what you get.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
