Ye i plan to get an overlay (if my old tune is still on the tuners PC).

Havent got anything in my hands yet as it was just a setup without even a tune (factory ECU still)

I wont be fixing that wont be for a month or two yet, the GT-SS setup feels stronger everywhere.

I think its as much the turbo choice as the motor, being 26's are much nicer than 25s.

A setup that did feel strong was a GCG hi-flow R34, Bass Junky's/Petes car.

That felt similar to the GT-SS setup i have now. His setup was much better suited to the 2.5ltr.

Doesnt have massive top end, but the midrange is sensational.

This is a GCG manifold with at GT35 on an RB26.

I am looking at getting the gcg high mount manifold too, these are the pics i was sent.

In these pics it seems to me the pipe the gate mounts off goes towards the front of the car and not the rear, and im not 100% sure that is right.

Do you have and pics of your manfold BOOSTED? Also any reason you went the turbosmart gate and not the tial??

cheers

that looks pretty nice, id just be worried bout the cable ties on the wastegate heat rapp near the top :S

I'll certainly be following your progress, as this could be my next move next year!

Keep us up dated mate!

Cheers,

My RB26, GT-SS setup feels heaps faster @ 250rwkw than my RB25/GT30 setup did @ ~280rwkw because there is power everywhere.

That'd have to be at least partly due to the difference in mass between an R33 and R31 chassis though? Weight counts for a lot.

That said, having a little less power spread over a wide range - rather than concentrated over a narrow range will make for a better thing all round. Matter of interest type question: what sort of useable rpm range does the 26 with GT-SS work over?

While the 26 is definitely spec'd overall better than a 25, depending on the power level I think there's a good argument for having something with VVT. Not flaming something up, just commenting that the 25 isn't a dog by any means. The 26 though, is a better base platform.

It does look very tidy overall. Good effort, and I'm especially interested in the work done to control/contain heat. I'd think the cable ties are very temporary, and we'd see either tie wire or a clamp of some description take its place before installation.

Looks like you're going to be aiming for some fairly serious output there Dave; no longer a daily drive proposition? What are you doing with management systems?

ECU is Power FC,Fuel system is Nismo pump and Nismo 555cc injectors,still stock ignition.

And no the car wont be my daily driver anymore,mostly used as a sunday driver and track day car.

lol never thought i was going to take it this far.But the car has turned into a hobby.I dont drink,smoke or gamble so i have to spend my money on something

I will be in Japan next month for the TAS,im going to try and get some Tomei pistons at a good price.Anyone got any contacts??

Anyone!

HR31 and R33 almost come in the same actually.

Im 1400kg's without me in it.

R32's were 160kg's lighter as you can see when you put the two cars next to each other.

Not a lot of 'refinement' in the 80's im afraid. Everything electrical is huge and chunky compared to further models.

eg, my powersteering pump was 2x the size of a R32 GTR one (both hicas) lol.

Oh the 25 isnt a piece of shit. But if you had a choice, you'd just get 26 off bat.
