hey everyone...just would like to put the question out there, maybe get some feedback on this topic. r33 gtr at the moment im running power fc, exhaust, droppipes, cam gears, podfilters, 240awkw. going on the car is garrett 2860's, tomei dumppipes, bigger fuelpump, 770 injectors, greedy profect b 2,tripple plate clutch....my mechcanic said 370awkw is what i can get, but seen my engine has done 160k's that power figure is a bit high.....i discussed alot lower awkw, but more torque....i was thinking maybe around the 320-330awkw would be better for the engine (engine in mint condition high compression, no knocking or noises yet) any suggestions would be great.....cheers robbie

Logical thinkin there dude, thats a good idea, with your enigine km's that high. HKS GT-SS's or similar would be the go for that power range. These things will come on boost pretty much the same as the stock ones, and ripp your head off all the way to redline!

oh dam, those turbos sound sweet, i guess when the engine gets a rebuild maybe the 2860's will be sweet for higher boost? i just got these turbos brand new for a real good price........

2860's would be awesome, dont get me wrong, im just givin you my 2 cents, as i was almost in the same position as you. I asked people what turbo for my power level and i couldn't count the number of people that replied with stuff like "man, HKS GT-SS's are the way to go, hands down for an insane street GTR"

If you got them for a good price bro ------> Go for it, strap those bad boys on and have some fun!!!! :P

I've got your exact planned setup (2860-5), but without cams/cam gears. Currently have 290kw@4 and run a 11.8@117mph. I wouldn't call it laggy but I have not been in a GT-SS car to see the comparison... no doubt they're more responsive.

I've got poncams 260/260 9.15mm and cam gears being fitted at the moment... so not sure what I'll get after that, hopefully around 320kw@4 om the stock bottom end (I don't want to push it anymore) but we'll see.. just hoping to run over 120mph.

Hope this helps.

Tommo.

hmm..talking to robbie ward (RIPS gtr specialist check youtube under rips) and spec performance (cars always feature in performance car magazines) they all reakon that the stock engine can handle way more then 350awkw without needing cam/head ,work on stock internals???? any thoughts????? i dont want to stuff my engine, but these guys highly regarded mechanics.......

They use hub dynos in NZ whos figures arent the same as our chassis dyno's :)

So their 350 would be 320-310 here.

But there are enough people who have killed a stock RB26 with 350rwkw now (after 2-3 years) to know that they wont last forever.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
