Got some of the R33 stripped on the weekend. just have to take the rear seats out, and the carpets now.

We have the same brakes and air compressors :P

And it looks like my rotors are on the wrong way, thanks for posting that pic up!

the slots don't matter, it's the direction of the vanes that's important. in the pic posted you can just see the curve/angle of the vanes is correct. phunky, yours may have the slots cut the other way in relation to the vanes. (ie with the rotors mounted correctly vane wise your slots may face the other way).

Good to see that everyone has been working hard on thier machines, as have I. I've been working on seting up a set of GTR throttle bodies and plenum on to an RB25. Not a job for the feint hearted. Finaly got a decent tune in to it today. No real power increase but emensly different fuel mapping was need everywhere and took the best part of the day. In the end the power comes on a little earlier in the rev range, has a flatter curve and moved peak power up by nearly 1000rpm in the rev range. Might be easier to power out of corners? will track test and refine tomorrow at morganpark.

Will post up some pics later. Off to do a wheel alignment for gatton street sprints and testing.

Mine are from a GT-R, and are the same brand of rotor, so I think they're on backwards... I knew I'd get it wrong :pirate:

hehe, thats the second time your rotors have been put on the wrong way dane... i did it the first time they went on the gtr, didn't notice until it i'd put everything away and taken the car off the hoist!

This is my baby hopping to have it finished by super lap 2010 but it costs so such.

It has an RB30/26 Motec M800 Alcon's ext and it is all done by Ben at Race Pace Motorsports.

mumma mia! that's a spicy meatball you have there.

any more details? turbo(s)? suspension? it looks very serious, and very nicely done so far. no doubt it will be a weapon as ben certainly knows how to make a quick track GTR. :)

when it's finished I'd be happy to test crash... i mean test drive it for you... :P

Thanks for the thumbs up guys :ermm: .

The Turbo is one of Ben's custom T04Z's on a Race Pace manifold with an HKS 60mm gate.

The suspension will be a set of Bens custom tein's and all links will be Ikeya Formula

I have made an addapter manifold to mount a set of GTR throttle bodies and plenum for my RB25. It has worked quite well but not improved the area of the fine throttle response I was looking for. It has improved and moved the power up higher in revs though.

I'm going back to the old setup.

interesting, i went the rb26 plenum setup on my 25 and i gave alot of response.

Before the setup had full boost (16psi) at 3300rpm

after

Full boost (18psi) at 3000rpm

:sweat:

I'm using the blitz kit

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
