Seen the size of that turbo :) its sure gonna be laggy but it has a few things on its side like the close ratio gear box strengthend motor which would probably rev 9,000-10,000rpm and probably some very aggresive cams.

But the lag not so much of an issue as long as the turbo doesn't drop off boost between gear changes and has a decent size power band then its all good just can't miss to many gears :D

Say if that car came on strong at 6K and rev'd to 10K then your going to have 4,000rpm of terror to play with ;) even most stock skylines (gtst's) don't have a power band that large.

probably even faster than that cause the exhaust housing is relatively small so its gonna spool up quicker with less top end than what a drag car would.

This thing would cane the hell out of stokell and richards and all the other nations cup drivers.

No wonder they wanted to ban this!

T.

was this banned from Nations Cup? what's with banning GTR's! ;) What cars do stokell and richards drive? Is richards in a Porsche?

So would this car be able to take down the Bowes Ferrari's, and Lambo's?

Oh yeah, any guesses at full boost 5000rpm? 4000rpm? 0 - 100km times? Just that all the modification explanations are a little over my head so i need some basic joe bloe facts :D

cheers.

Great car, I think that's the tuffest GTR I have ever seen...and I've sat in the Gibson GTR!

grms, what exactly is the class you are running, as in what races will your GTR being in?

Big big shame re too much bullshit to get into Nations Cup. Can you run in the Bathurst 24H under a particular class?

Cheers,

Freebaggin.

I Race in Sports Cars category.

This car can run in Bathurst 24hr - as Invited Category – Potential Bathurst 24hr winner.

Due to my involvement with Procar - Nations Cup category I am not allow to race there.

(it will be conflict of interest)

My car will be available for lease for that particular race.

Serious offer considered.

You say:

(Big big shame re too much bullshit to get into Nations Cup.)

I agree - due to parity adjustment to some race cars it is difficult to be fast in Nations Cup Championship, but Bathurst 24hr is not a problem because it is Special Event and not as a part of Championship.

grms, mate that is great, I hope you get some serious offers for 24hr event as I am going to the race again this year.

Never seen Sport Cars on TV, must have missed it, I assume not the same as Sports Sedans.

grms if you don't mind i like to ask a few questions regarding you're build of the car.

i'm suprised you still using the standard intake plenum, is it still using the factory (six) throtle bodies or are you going to replace it with a large single.

with you using the factory head gasket do you mean as in thickness or the actual (material based) gasket.

are you thinking of using 'oil coolers' for the transmission and diff.

with reagrds to you're torque split controller have you replaced the front diff or cv joints to larger unit/s

with you deciding to go for the 1500hp sx fuel pump would you be putting in an extra one as backup if it fails.

the custom 12 litre oil sump and baffle do you make that in house as i'm interested in buying one for myself and is it a bolt on or do you 'modify' the standard oil sump.

otherwise you have some serious gear in it at the moment and good to see a gtr built for track work. hope all goes well for you.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • 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.
