hmm - no major immediate plans for mine.

*Suspension ~ one day > happy with handling, it just sits too high

*FMIC ~ one day > stock one flows well enough for stock turbo anyway.

*Possibly upgrade clutch, like a twin plate or something, [would also lighten flywheel at same time].

*Couple of other 'little' things I will do very soon but they secret :)

ey andy, Ill stand there by the car if ya need me. I got a GREAT baseball bat ive been meaning to test out

hahahaa

but seriously, if theres any trouble, holla at me and youll hear me running from the other side of the building. (For ppl who havent actually met me, im kinda big:D:D:D:D)

Horus - HKS 2530's, spool up quick (approx. 3500rpm) and good for 1.4 bar. With other mods (powerfc, full exhaust, filters, adj. cam gears, ebc, injectors and fuel pump) should be good for around 310-330 rwkws.

Also providing you have a decent twin plate clutch to hold the power!!!

If I get a 180 or R32 probably will just go straight for the HKS 2530 or 2540 .. 2530 on an SR20DET sounds pretty fun.. that was the turbo i was going to chuck on my R33, but nah, cbf now -- too much money..

mmm... Funkey... you can take it off my hands.

but it wont come el cheapo.

only becasue it's got the t04e... extractors... ecu/loom..

All of which aren't cheap (extractors are 1-of-800 made)... but in the package you'll save.

remember it's making approx 190rwkw on the lowly 9psi :D

wat do you think it's worth? considering 250rwkw will be had with JUST BOOST. and nothing else :P

Future Mods: Weight reduction on the buggy and a 13B Turbo Conversion.....

Goal - 1:1 Power to weight (HP/KG)

Then we'll see who's quick jet!!!

Did a calculation and I reckon with 400HP, 400KG, a perfect launch, and traction = 8.1 @ 176 MPH!!!!!

SOme people think i'm a little cwazy?? I got no idea why??

Doc.

got my new project cars :D

should turn a few heads fitting an sr 20 to this just to be different and to make a wicked track weapon.

jet congrats on the car If I had the cash lying around I would have grabbed daves car in a heart beat. just learn to respeckt it as it bites :)

this is it b4 it dissapears into the work shop

nah mate not drugs common sense this is a very good and very popular swap

hyb11sm.jpg

some reasons for the swap

1 no need for a custom plenum.

2 power fc bolts straight in

3 there are heaps of parts for them.

4. it makes the weight distribution 50/50.

5 there are no high profile ones and i like to be different.

6 I found some one who is willing to do the conversion for a reasonable fee.

7 the motors are more torquey.

8 the gearbox just had 2k spent on it in a full rebuild

9 the motor only has 80 000 genuine klms10 when I need to upgrade things like pistons and injectors I will only require 4 not six

and development on the rb20 is finished in japan

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
